It's been a while...OHkay... it has been <b><i>two years</i></b> since the last post. Embarrassing.<br />
<br />
Here's the li'l indy that brought me back.<br />
<a href="https://youtu.be/kZiyaxhPAgo">The Confirmation</a><br />
Irrelevant really... but still it beckoned me.<br />
<br />
I wanna start talkin' about movies again but I have some goofy guidelines:<br />
<br />
1.) I <u>hate</u> spoilers so I avoid trailers.<br />
2.) I <i>barely</i> tolerate: biopics, junkie movies, infidelity flix or cartoons masquerading as live action. For example computer graphic (CG) enhanced or embellished - movies that employ cartoon amonts of CG yet still call themselves 'live action'.<br />
3.) I dig foreign movies but I have to be in the mood to give my undivided attention<br />
<br />
And I am gonna wanna talk about a really cool music pilgrimage I am about to embark on:<br />
<br />
<br />
<ul>
<li>Fly to Shreveport. </li>
<li>Drive to Lafayette - stay for 8 days</li>
<li>Train to New Orleans -stay for 10 days</li>
<li>Train to Memphis stay for 4 days</li>
<li>Train to Chicago stay for 3 days </li>
<li>Fly home.</li>
</ul>
