We were originally planning to hit Ananda Fuara, but it turns out they&#8217;re closed on Sundays (which he fortunately noted before we crossed the bay =).  Instead we went to mondo expensive Indian palace which has good indian food (though I still prefer udipi&#8217;s).  A good time was had.  We then hit eudamonia.  Turns out he has had some exposure to strategy board games.  Excellent.  Then we hit comic relief, where I introduced him to barry ween (though he seemed more interested in strangers in paradise).  I also had a chat with the guy at the counter about nausicaa.  And a little websearching today turns up a reference to <a href=\"  http:\/\/www.discountanimedvd.com\/dvd_detail.asp?dvdno=158\">the ghibli collection dvd set<\/a>, region free, for $60.  This is so cool, it must be illegal.  Pity I&#8217;m broke and have nothing capable of playing dvd&#8217;s regardless of region.  Cruel world.<\/p>\n<p>We then see triplets of belleville.  Before the actual show, there was a short which was apparently inspired by a long ago plan by salvador dali and walt disney to make something together.  It was pretty surreal.  Anyway, triplets is an animated action\/comedy from Montreal which takes a critical eye towards the US (and probably france as well).  There are only two lines spoken in the entire movie.  A little bit of singing in there, too, but the lyrics can&#8217;t quite be made out, so it really doesn&#8217;t count.  But I still liked it, really.  It was cute.  Don&#8217;t know what else to say without giving stuff away.  Check it out, if only to see something different from what you&#8217;re used to.<\/p>\n<p>But after that, Eric and I went our separate ways for the evening.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Met last night.
