Very strange dietary circumscription

I usually eat whatever I’ve got at home or what sounds good or what is available on the road. Dietary limitations aren’t usually anything I have. After all, I don’t eat kosher and don’t have to avoid gluten.

So this was a strange experiment. It nearly failed though. In Indianapolis—burritos are good road food–I nearly failed. I pulled off of the interstate and didn’t see a single restaurant. Luck rescued me quickly. There was a Taco Bell. Burrito 3 was found, until I saw a place promising a burrito as big as my head a block closer.

Breakfast: McDonald’s Breakfast burritos
Lunch: At Cielito Lindo in Lexington, KY
Supper: La Babma in Indianapolis, IN

A story about "Blind Horizon"

by Michael Haussman

There’s a sex scene in this movie.

It’s awful. There are obviously body doubles being used. It’s so awful that it’s screaming for an MST3K style treatment.

The rest of the movie wasn’t much better.

An education in film

Criterion has many movies on the roll that teach well about cinema.

Some of the choices I’m not so sure about, but it’s kind of a class in movie appreciation.
