Book of Eli: Mad Blax
As I write this I have an existential hangover. Outside it is warm and slightly overcast, but in my heart the snowstorm that rages all over the rest of the world has taken hold. WHYYYYYYYYYY
Yesterday’s drinking started at about 2. We went to the Taco and - BULLSHIT ALERT - couldn’t get a seat at the bar. We had to sit at a table, which is rubbish. The annoyance was only slightly...
Youth in Revolt: DOUBLE UP!
Sometimes fate shines upon us and we are given *2* films that we have a passing interest in, resulting in the rare and daunting Margarita Movie Doubleheader!

Fortunately, one of the regular Hotenders showed up and got us an emergency drink just before the Film of Choice was to begin. As we got up to leave, i threw on my MM uniform - the yellow Cross...
