Yum, Garlic.

My hands smell all garlicky. I have Imperial Chicken in the oven. It's an old favorite at our house. Yum.

Well, it has been a nice weekend. We went out Friday for Italian food at Il Dottore. It was tasty, as always. Yesterday we went to see The Two Towers, for the second time, at a cinema we'd never been to before. Like our usual movie theater, it shows a lot of foreign (read: English/American) movies in the original language, without subtitles. So we were glad to discover it.

The movie theaters we've been to here are very different from the American theaters we're used to. Usually the screens are very small and there aren't many rows of seats. Many of the ones we've been to are located simply in the first floor of apartment buildings rather than buildings that were built specifically to be movie theaters. So sometimes it's kind of like they made their living room into a cinema. I'm sure there must be multiplexes and such, somewhere, but we haven't been to one yet.

Also, at many theaters you can call or go online ahead of time and reserve a ticket. And often your seat is assigned, or at least the row you are supposed to sit in. The theater was nearly full for The Two Towers last night, and we got there last so our seats were in the very front row. However, the screen was not all that large and the rows were only about eight seats long (very small theater), so it wasn't bad.

There were so many pretty horses in that movie. I love them!
