We almost didn’t have a babysitter, but in the end things worked out so Wendi and I could go on our “dinner and a movie” date.

Dinner was Chang’s, but before we went to the restaurant I suggested stopping in at Jantzen Beach “mall” (boy, has that place dried up) to track down the game-trading store that Qwest’s website insisted was present. Nope, but there’s a very neat hobby store that Wendi and I strolled through very, very slowly… yum.

After we gorged ourselves at Chang’s (again, yum) we decided that since neither of us had any better ideas we’d just head for the theater and see what we could find. Of the three movies Wendi wanted to see, the only one I found appealing was Bulletproof Monk.

Here’s the short review, since it’s not worth the full treatment: Overall a light, fun little movie, doesn’t take itself too seriously, but plays it straight and cool except for the really campy bits (mainly anything involving the Nazis), but when it’s over you’ve had a good time. This one’s a rental, not one to own.

I’ll close with a silly phrase I came up with while wandering around Jantzen Beach “Mall.”

Much like there is no ‘I’ in ‘team,’ there is also no ‘Y’ in ‘love.’

Pithy, wot?
