I get what you are saying about the cold cheese. However, I seem to remember long ago they grated the cheese much more finely, so that it was like an airy pillow on top of the crunchy lettuce and then the messy insides. The contrasting textures made it quite pleasurable. Now that they use that thicker grate, you are…

Are you going to see Rainbow Rocks or whatever it is called? Just saw the poster at the theatre yesterday when we saw GotG.

What kind of boardgames? How do you practice? How does it all work? I want to hear more from you, although I could go look it up.

Guardians of the Galaxy later today…and now I've seen it and liked it as much as everyone said. I do wish they would have gone a bit more on the "big heist" track because all those groups competing for the same object created the potential for lots of creative mayhem. Instead, they ended up on the big battle…

Hey! I am reading Battle Cry of Freedom! A friend loaned it to me saying it is one of the best books he ever read about the Civil War. So far so good although I am not reading it in big enough chunks to analyze and do it real justice.

Re: Project Runway…how is it possible to make such boring clothes with such exciting materials? I thought for sure there would be a Twizzler dress or at least Mike and Ike suspenders.

Thanks. I'll definitely check it out. I thought the guitarist was the best part of the show and want to hear more from him.

Real Estate at the Fillmore. I think of them as being a Brooklyn hipster band and found out they have quite a jam band following as well. Interesting mix of flannel, beards, and swirly skirts. They kept almost breaking into some interesting free-form riffs and then keeping straight to the recorded versions of the…

Did you see them with Dan Deacon opening? I was tempted to go just for that.

I saw that exhibit in San Francisco and LOVED it. Weren't there some interesting stories from his childhood? I'm trying to remember.

Maybe we can all ride the bus together. Some days I just can't stand it.

Thanks for the reminder! That will be good for a Sunday afternoon break.

Boo. Maybe the universe saved you from getting a drink spilled on your favorite shoes.

I know what you mean about a good ballet. The last one I saw, I really got it, and it was like, "Where are the wires? How are they doing that?"

Oooh, I don't know in which order I would watch them. Interesting. I had hoped to double it up with Under the Skin but that already left town.

Lucy! I saw it on the tiny screen of my neighborhood theater and I think it was perfectly suited for it. The action is small scale, the car chase was unnecessary, and yeah the acting is a little wooden. On the other hand, Johanssen's character is a strong woman even before the drug mishap, she's no damsel in distress,…

A friend really liked La Roux live if you have the chance.

See, this is why I love all you guys. I had no idea they made a movie from T.S. Spivet, by Jeunet no less! I remember thinking the book was a bit too precious and am intrigued by the movie. Still no U.S. release date.

Wow, I completely forgot High Road to China existed! It was no Tales of the Gold Monkey (or Raiders obvs). I loved that kind of movie and didn't care for Tom Selleck and I now can't remember if I liked it or not.

When does Lucy come out by you? I think you will like it.
