Yes, it's true. I broke down and bought a monocle.

Definitely a "yep".

I don't say this very often but you want to see this one on the big screen. The cinematography was gorgeous.

My only complaint was the previews at the theatre we went to were much too loud.

We also saw it with open captions which greatly improved my experience.

Don't read the rest if you're worried about spoilers.

So today I get introduced to the wonderful world of colonoscopy.

Started the laxative last night. Last night wasn't so bad.

Second does needs to be finished in 20 minutes. This is hard. Have to suppress my gag reflex.

All new music to me except for Jefferson Airplane. Which is strange. Somehow I managed to never listen to Something Else by the Kinks until this week.

This is really great if you're vegan and miss ceviche: Hearts of palm fills in for the seafood in this plant-based ceviche.

My only complaint, and it's not even a fair complaint, is that hearts of palm have very low protein content compared to fish or shellfish that you might normally use to make a ceviche.

Today's takeaways: if you've never listened to
  • Lady Gaga - Born this Way
  • Richard and Linda Thompson - I Want to See the Bright Lights Tonight
  • The Stooges - The Stooges
  • Linda Ronstadt - Heart Like a Wheel
Go do that.

And if you've never heard Black Flag and you want to find out what they're about, pick up Wasted and not the record on this list (Damaged).

"Feel my heart beat" she said. I tried. I placed my palm between her breasts. I felt nothing.
