Evansville, Out of Order
Casino Hopping is a bad idea for me. I only play the Nickel Slots, and I think I've got the Nickel Slots figured out, and I still ended up broke and stupid. So no more of that for me. Fared better than Boolah, though, he lost a fat wad of cash on Hold 'em.
I was reading the latest "Doonesbury" collected in Books-a-Zillion. It cracked me up seeing George W. depicting as a Floating Roman Conquerors Helmet, and Ahnold depicting as a giant, menacing Hand. When I was a kid, I loved the funnies, but hated Doonesbury. I knew that I was officially an adult on the day that most of the funnies bored me, but Doonesbury made perfect sense and was Hi-larious.
"The Brothers Grimm" is kickin'. It's not Gilliam's masterpiece by any means (again, see "Brazil"), but it is a fun, fast, clever flick. Awe-inspiring razzle dazzle and a funny script. A definite must see.
Didn't see any worthwhile previews ahead of the flick. The upcoming Fall Movie season still seems painfully weak.
Scored "Un Chien Andalu" (spell?) at Borders finally! I've been hunting this collaboration between Salvador Dali and Louis Buneul for YEARS! Anyway, it's everything you'd expect, which means it's completely screwed up from start to finish. Worth scoring if you're into surrealism.
Also picked up a new Mexican cook book. Can't have enough of those lying around the house.
Note: The preceding post detailed a recent trip to Evansville and was completely out of chronoligical order. The writer would like to apologize, after all, it is Sunday morning, and the brain no work so good.

I'll let you know how the mexican dish I'm whipping up tonight works out. Fish with Yucatecan Flavor. Yes, Yucatecan, not Yucatan. I had to modify the recipe a bit, because annatto seeds (from the tropical lipstick tree) are a bitch to find in Minnesota. Numerous cookbooks (like the Joy of Cooking) tell me that tumeric is a suitable substiture. Plus, tumeric stains everything a fun yellow color. Yay.
My only concern is the guessing I had to do about how much tumeric powder equaled 4 tbsp of annetto seeds. *shrug* Stuff smells good whether I got it right or not.
Yeah, Annatto seeds are not easy to find. Dan the ShopOwner orders em from some cataloge or online or something. I'd like to score some sometime so I can fix Pueco Pabil (spell?).
I think I've heard the same thing about tumeric, although the yellow shading contrasts with the more reddishness you'd get from real Annotto.
