I Must Be Getting Better

It's been... probably three or four years since I've voluntarily seen or read much of anything that smacked of hard realities. Admittedly I went to Biloxi and New Orleans and got smacked over the head with them, but I could DO something about that, even an infinitesimal amount of something, but it was something. On the most part, I've been only watching and reading more escapist stuff, and probably needed to.

But in the last week, I read 1 Dead in Attic and saw Slumdog Millionaire and I really enjoyed both a lot. They're feeding all kinds of things I realize, now, that I might have been really hungry for.

( No spoilers, but definitely longer. )
