Turkish Delight via Instagram This weekend, I: Took in a midnight showing of Battle Royale.  2 tickets to see a bunch of teenagers murder each other, please! Ate a scotch egg, chatted up a man in a kilt Shared some bittersweet Turkish coffee, some teeth-achingly sweet Turkish delight, and had my coffee grounds read. Apparently all the roads I travel lead back to the same place.  This is basically what the reader told me.  That, and I don’t collect a great deal of mental flotsam, which is evident by all the blank spaces between the grounds.  But maybe she just meant I was simple minded.  I wonder.   Caught The Black Lillies at a lovely free show on Saturday night.  And their album is still a free download over on bandcamp - if you like bluegrassy americana, I highly recommend giving it a listen. Braved a rainy Sunday matinee of Brave; despite a theatre full of screeching monkey-children, I thoroughly enjoyed it.  I thought it was a spirited, gorgeously animated tale.  Also, in an attempt cross another off my “list of movies I should have already seen by now”, I took in a semi-tipsy viewing of Krull.  Hrm.  I probably could have lived without ever seeing Krull.
