Food, Flights and Colonists


It’s been a few days, but I have had to lay of the docs for a few.  The subject matter of most docs, or at least the ones I find interesting, is sadness.  I have been a little too sad in my own head, so I have been watching bad tv instead. :D 

Yesterday though, I did watch a couple.  The first was called I Like Killing Flies about a man who runs a tiny restaurant in NYC.  He has like, over 500 menu items, and the movie just discussed his deciding after 25 some years to move to a different location.  It was interesting, and the people were freaks.  He would throw people out of the restaurant if they were a party of more than four.  It was funny.

Second, I watched Super Carrier which was discussing the USS Eisenhower after it had been retrofitted, and was getting certified for combat.  It talked a lot about how carriers work, and how they fling the jets off and catch them when they come back.  There is also some accident footage, which was creepy.  One guy got sucked into an engine, and lived! Wow!

The last one was Jamestown, which was discussing how the Jamestown colony was founded, and what happened to the settlers, and who their mysterious leader was.  It was…um…very scientific.  Zzzzzzzzzzz Makes me sad when I realize how little I care about history.
