The Hurt Locker

I finally went to see it today down at the Sunshine on Houston Street and it's as good (and intense) as I've heard (thank you Lucius). I'm still sorry I didn't see it as a double feature last weekend with Julie and Julia afterward. That would surely have cheered me up. A great, tense, upsetting, fast-moving, well-edited and acted war film. Thank you Kathryn Bigelow. Now can we PLEASE get out of Iraq, leaving the inhabitants alone and bringing our own citizens home safely?

And I had a delicious cherry-lime ricky at Veselka's with dinner to make up for the overpriced (and not very good concoction with the same name but different ingredients) at brunch.
