What do you do on a lazy Friday spent in the library? Well
you go to the docks afterwards for pizza of course! I am so glad that margarita
pizzas exist here because not only are they my favorite but they are also made
with mozzarella cheese. Delicious melted mozzarella how I have missed and
longed for you. Screw "gruyère", it blows in comparison. Kate and I,
Paula is currently in London for a short vacation, enjoyed the Italian dishes
at the local pizzeria in the Docks. Well, Kate sorta enjoyed her dish. She had
a salad, trying to ease into the no gluten diet, and it unfortunately came with
green peppers on it. I love green peppers, Kate does not. She was able to eat
it though, after she scraped the peppers to the side. Once dinner was finished
we were supposed to go home, but we decided to see a movie instead. At the
movie theaters. In French. Oh my gosh! Ha, well the film we picked was not
especially difficult since it was the latest Astérix and Obélix live action
installment. All in all, it was pretty good. Completely cheesy and very
stereotypical on its interpretation of the British, but somehow it had a charm
to it. Though, Kate and I tended to laugh a lot more than the rest of the
audience. I suppose we just couldn't believe how stereotyped the British
characters were. The obsession with tea and the inedible food were only part of the icing. Still, we laughed and
enjoyed ourselves. Yay, I finally saw a French film in a French theater in
French! That's three for three. We then returned home, but the movies did not
stop there. They stopped for Kate, but not for yours truly. You see audience, I
love Hitchcock films especially the psychological thrillers. Thus why I rented
Psycho from the public library. Kate refused to watch it with me and I
consented, after all horror is not for everyone. But, that did not stop me from
watching it. Actually I created the perfect setting too; all the lights were off,
a lone candle was lite, and I was cuddled under my blanket. Perfect for
thrillers. I must say, I loved the film. Anthony Perkins did an amazing job as
Norman Bates. Although the film is old, I still became completely absorbed in
it. The all string orchestra, the mis-en-scene, the shower montage, just
everything blended perfectly into an amazing movie experience. Hitchcock, you
did well once more. Anyone up for The Birds or Rear Window?
