like a fritter

I forgot to upload this photo from the Tampa airport. This food kiosk had fresh fruit smoothies on the left, and chilli dogs on the right. A tasty dichotomy.



And one more from Chicago.

Double dutch disco

Today Tampa, tomorrow Wichita.

I'm hanging out in the Tampa airport waiting to fly home just long enough to kiss my wife and grab a coat, and I wanted to pass along 2 things that I am currently enjoying;

First and foremost, Ninja Warrior. If it was not on I don't think I would bother watching TV until Weeds or Dexter came back on. If you have not seen it, do yourself a favor and give it a try. The Womens challenge is on G4 right now and it is every bit as good as the mens.

Secondly, the soundtrack from Juno. Especially the song "Loose Lips" by Kimya Dawson. This is the kind of song that I love and Debbie hates. Go figure...

Apparently this is March

The lack of blog updates is due to a lack in interesting things. I have been in Tennessee, Texas, and am currently in Illinois. Had anything worth noting happened, you would have known about it - I promise.

I did see some movies;

Be kind, rewind.

I'm a big JB fan, and I am all in favor of just putting him in front of a camera to see what will happen. That is pretty much what I expected of this movie and in some places that is exactly what you got which was good. But it also tried to have a bigger message about saving a building... Fats Waller... I don't know. It was pretty muddy and in the end people showed up without explanation carrying things that didn't make sense and you never got to find out what happened to the building. I enjoyed the movie remakes quite a bit, but I'm guessing that most viewers are going to come away with the same feeling that I did - namely that there should have been more movie remakes and less story. Not a waste of time, but a bit confusing overall.

No country for old men.

I really liked this movie. It is very violent in places and it does have Woody Harrelson who I don't usually care for. Woody did a great job in his later scenes and I was pretty impressed with his acting. I enjoyed the dialog overall even though it was somewhat sparse. Just like in 'Be kind, rewind' there were people who just showed up from time to time without a valid explanation of how they got there and the ending was far from any kind of closure. Still and all, it was a great way to spend an evening in a hotel away from family and friends.

Next week I'm off to Tampa again, and then who knows...
