I worked both Saturday and Sunday, so I didn’t have much in the way of weekend excitement. However, on Saturday night we were able to get Billy and Karen to come with us to see The Eye, which is a good psychological thriller made in Thailand. The movie is about a woman who gets a corneal transplant, and then begins to see things that aren’t there. She has to unravel the secrets of the donor before she goes insane. Its pretty scary, though not very gory. If you liked The Sixth Sense then you’ll probably like The Eye. Be forewarned, it is subtitled in English, and it may be hard to read the subtitles while you are clenching your eyes closed out of fear.

After exiting the movie, we decided that a beer was in order. Instead of the ‘usual suspects’ we decided to walk over to Brandt’s market and buy two of the strangest beers we could find. We ended up with a Lindeman’s Cassic, which is a form of lambic, a beer style fermented not only with yeast, but with numerous forms of wild bacteria, and flavored with fruit. The style is very strange, and only loosely considered beer. If you gave one to your average Bud drinker, they’d probably spit it out in shock. We only got about halfway through the bottle before deciding to save the rest for another time. The other beer was a Delirium Tremens, a Belgian strong ale. It was very strong, and came in a wine-sized bottle. The ale was very good however, and we’ll probably try some of Delirium’s other offerings. The bottle was very unique as well, it was white with black spots, and adorned with images of pink elephants and dancing crocodiles. Very strange offering from a brewery that has been around since 1654.

Billy, Karen, Madalene and I ended the night by playing Taboo, which is a pretty fun game. I’m not normally into games, but Taboo moves quickly enough that it keeps me interested.
