Since I had some time to kill yesterday, I wandered down to the Northgate Mall and spent some time wandering around the old buildings. <a href=\"https:\/\/michaelhans.com\/eclecticism\/2005\/09\/26\/northgate-theatre-and-medical-office-building\/\">&#x27A1;<\/a><\/span><\/li><\/ul><\/li><li><strong>2004<\/strong><ul><li><a href=\"https:\/\/michaelhans.com\/eclecticism\/2004\/09\/26\/sky-captain-and-the-world-of-tomorrow\/\">Sky Captain and the World of Tomorrow<\/a> <span class=\"today_excerpt\">In the midst of watching all of the recently-released Star Wars films (okay, sure, they're not quite what they were when I first saw them, but they're still a lot of fun), Prairie and I took a break on Saturday to wander down the hill to see Sky Captain and the World of Tomorrow. <a href=\"https:\/\/michaelhans.com\/eclecticism\/2004\/09\/26\/sky-captain-and-the-world-of-tomorrow\/\">&#x27A1;<\/a><\/span><\/li><\/ul><\/li><li><strong>2003<\/strong><ul><li><a href=\"https:\/\/michaelhans.com\/eclecticism\/2003\/09\/26\/apology-accepted\/\">Apology accepted<\/a> <span class=\"today_excerpt\">I just checked back to Laura's site, and realized that she issued an apology on the 19th &mdash; just a case of a 'newbie' getting a little over-excited.
