Good for you

It only took hearing two different NPR reviews (here and here) of the X-Men Origins Wolverine movie for me to realize the summer blockbuster season is upon us.  And while I am looking forward to spending hot summer evenings in and out of movie theaters, I’m definitely not looking forward to paying for it.

For those out there aching for Hollywood action on a tight budget, I recommend a trip to Logan Theater on at 2646 N. Milwuakee Ave.  They may not play new releases (only movies that have been out for a couple months) but tickets only cost you about $4 and reviewers love their chocolate covered frozen bananas.

Here’s a map to cheaper movie fun:

Check out Julie Deadorff’s “5 alternative uses for lemons” that don’t include making lemonade.

My favorite is lemon as hangover cure. And since you asked, the New Yorker published a piece last year about how different cultures and regions tackle the hangover. It’s quite the anthropological study.
