british cold number 1

well it took a week, but i have my first uk bug. it's nothing monumental, but i'm just expecting this to be the first of many. the last time i was here, i caught everything--was always sneezing with a sore throat. oh well.

i saw 'stardust' last night at the odeon in guildford. the odeon is like amc theaters in the states--overpriced. for an extra £1, you can sit in 'premium' seats--the seats are slightly larger. i'm told they're ideal because the speakers are directed at that 'premium' section. what a rip-off! i guess the odeon wasn't selling enough stale popcorn, so they had to make more money somehow. we sat in the schlep class, and we could see and hear just fine.

oh yeah, and the movie was good. kind of exactly what you'd expect if you've ever read a neil gaiman novel. funny and silly and well written.
