Criterion update
Watched two films this weekend: The Lady Vanishes and The Exterminating Angel. Both were so-so. Not bad, but not fantastic.

Dear drivers
Please don’t turn your car in front of me and then stop. I will punch your car.
On the same hand, bikers, don’t do things that you know piss off drivers (unless they deserve it by doing things like pulling in front of you). Let’s all share the road together.

Gay Marriage is coming to Washington State! →
Residents of Washington State - beware! You will soon discover what it’s like to find your state in total upheaval, just as those in Massachusetts found out a few years ago when they allowed gay marriage. Oh wait, nevermind.
