I’m kind of digging it! Hopefully so are you.
If so get up and party for a morning music coffee break!

Whoa! The Shuttle Discovery’s last flight to be part of the Smithsonian in DC. It’s pretty cool and it was a beautiful day to take her out for one last spin.
The Cabin in the Woods is Scream for the Saw age. It takes the “wink-wink, nudge-nudge, no whatta mean-no whatta mean, say no more” snark and self-consciousness to another plane and cuts it up like a funny man. It’s so post-modern it’s back into the pre-historic days.
I couldn’t get into it. It writes itself; you know what was going to happen. Even the big “twist,” you’ll see it coming. Then you wonder if they would go there, and they went there.

Save 35mm film! That's what some people want.Bullocks to old technology! Embrace digital! That's what others want.In the end though, it's another rear guard battle in the transformation to the post-digital age. Someone's going to get hurt.http://www.laweekly.com/2012-04-12/film-tv/35-mm-film-digital-Hollywood/

Usually, I am in tune with pop culture. I know of, watched, or read lots of what’s been in pop culture. The Hunger Games came out of no where for me. Even when I spent weekends upon weekends in the bookstores, I’ve never heard of it until they started the advertising blitz last year. Should I read the book before the movie comes out? So I went in to the theatre last week blind. I didn’t even read the wikipedia page.
As I sat there I had to process the film on several levels. The first being as a film in and of itself. The second being the adaption of a book I didn’t even read. The third being the film as a pop culture phenomenon.
As a film, I liked it. It was enough action to keep me interested. Yet, I was bugged by it. As an adaption did it miss something from the book? I felt that it did, as plot points and themes that the readers of the book would figure out. I bet there was plenty I missed from not reading the book. It’s funny because my brother complained about the film and most of his complaints could’ve been handled if he had at least read the blurbs on the back of the soft cover his son was in the process of reading.
So the readers of the book could love this movie. There are points that those who haven’t can feel attached to the story, but it could be better if you know about the book before hand.

I figured that instead of frying bacon in a pan I would try baking it in the oven.
I used a large cookie sheet which I was only able to arrange six slices of bacon on. The recipes I read online say to line it with aluminum foil. I pulled out of my drawer the aluminum foil I had. There was only a small sliver! So I forgo the aluminum foil and put the bacon on the cookie sheet. Maybe I should’ve applied a little something so that the bacon doesn’t stick. Why? Won’t the bacon oil keep it from doing that?
I set the oven to 375 and plan to bake the bacon for about 20 minutes. The bacon I had (Smithfield brown sugar cured) was rather thin as I stretched it across the pan. I bet thicker cut bacon would work better. As it baked, I watched it and took it out when the bacon looked brown and crispy around the 15 minute mark.
The bacon had stuck to the cookie sheet. I had to “scrape” it out. Although it was still crispy it was in several slivers of bacon. Note to self: get aluminum foil as the clean up was one of bacon grease all over the place.
Orioles win their home opener yesterday. We could go undefeated, or wire-to-wire, but that’s doubtful. We’ve got to take it one day at a time — one win at a time; hopefully, it will be one loss at a time rather than a series of losses. There’s plenty of time to worry; we’ve got all season.

It would’ve been a tradition if only the one who help started it was still around. But still without Margaux, eating at Faidley’s before the Orioles home opener is still awesome. Plus, if you have french cuteness it’s doubly good.
(Here’s the story of the french cuteness: she was visiting with her husband a friend who worked in town.)
