Amy and I just got back from a 3.5 mile walk through Villa Park, along the Illinois Prairie Path and the Great Western Trail.  We wanted to see the two historic CA&E train stations still standing along the path (one houses the chamber of commerce, the other has the Villa Park historical museum).  We also checked out the old Ovaltine factory, which was converted to condos a few years ago.

It was fun, but the heat was really getting to me toward the end.  I wish we brought our camera, but there’s a few shots of the area on Flickr.

The slides were pretty spartan this month, so I recorded some narration. There’s some small text, so you’ll probably want to follow the link and view this at SlideShare, where you can blow it up full screen.

I was in the mood for some cheesy celluloid tonight, and Hulu didn’t disappoint.  They have both Dr. Goldfoot movies, starring Vincent Price as the eponymous evil genius.  Both are pure 60s camp.  The second movie, which I watched tonight, develops Price’s character, but lets the humor devolve into slapstick vignettes.

I’m thinking of making Thursday a movie night.  It’s the only way I’m going to get through the wonderfully awful movies I want to see.
