The White Countess

Watch the video

I spent Saturday evening with my friend Michael Sumner, and we visited The Book Shelf in Guelph to watch the movie "The White Countess". I've never been to Guelph before, but from what I could see it's a nice little city. The old downtown is artsy and has classy bars and clubs and bookstores and junk shops. A nice place to spend the afternoon on a sunny spring day.

The Book Shelf is a treat in itself. It's a coffee lounge, bookstore, and movie theatre all in one. And the movies it plays are more classy and intelectual than, say, Ultraviolet which I watched today and give 4 thumbs down.

I like spending time with friends. Some of you might remember that I met Michael while I was working at Wendy's. He's like a supervalue combo.

You gave Ultraviolet four thumbs down? Wooooo . . . isn't that a tad bit too harsh? I mean, I was considering going out to watch it . . .

Anyhows I looks like you two had fun . . . but, personally, if I were Michael I'd be so annoyed with that dig cam of yours . . .

*sly grin* oh really? Am I to assume that you're one of those (quote) privacy (end quote) hicks who think that personal space is to be respected? Pcha!

Mr. Ben. If, and When, we do meet I will put you on the internet. You are warned.

*shakes head* lol privacy hick . . . that's a good one. Although I'm not sure I'd characterize myself as a hick . . . orleans is no hickstown.

You live in New Orleans? I thought you lived in Toronto... So what's life like down there?

Ben said...

No not New Orleans . . . Orleans as in the Orleans that nobody has heard of that was sort of merged with Ottawa . . . http://www.google.ca/maps?f=q&hl=en&q=orleans+ontario

Oh, I see now. Indeed, it is the Orleans that no body has ever heard about, living in the shadow of not only a huge City, but the Capital of a great country.
