German accordian dinner

On Friday, Garrett and I went to The Mill for dinner. We had a coupon and it was close to Garrett's new place, so we thought some German fare would be tasty and easy for us lazy bones (we didn't feel like making ourselves dinner, that is). We went in and right away I was impressed by the German accordian player. He was about 60 years old, complete with German outfit - lederhosen, vest, tie, funny hat. In addition, there were tons of German people at the tables who were singing along with the accordian. The atmosphere was fantastic! We were seated and ordered some yummy schnitzel items, which came with a ton of food. We gladly stuffed ourselves while enjoying the music, before squaring our bill and heading home again. Definately a neat restaurant that I would like to go to again.

Next, we watched our movie rental - the Weatherman, with Nicolas Cage. Now, normally I'm not a big Nicolas Cage fan, but I really liked this movie. It's quite an ironic film and I wouldn't call it a comedy. It's more of a 'realistic' film, in that there isn't the expected happy ending like many movies. However, things do get better, at least, for the weatherman and there are some resolutions to the problems. If you are loking for something a little different than your standard drama/comedy, I would recommend this film.
