suppenkuche

Suppenkuche is a seemingly authentic German restaurant in the Hayes Valley of San Francisco. Last night I had a great dinner with my beau and got the classic German Salat mit Karotten, Kraut, Kartoffeln, Rote Beete und Kopfsalat and some yummy mushroom soup that was intense. Very filling. He got the schnitzel, being a man and all, which he couldn't finish.

So, because the mushroom soup was out of this world delicious and satisfied me enough to the point where I couldn't finish my salad, I took it home. Lo and behold, I brought it to work this morning and wrapped it pretty shitty which led to it creating a gorgeous beet-colored lining on the bottom of my $200 Statistics book. The price I pay for being rushed in the mornings.

Factoid of the Day: KDKA is the oldest radio broadcasting station still going today. Coming out of Pittsburgh in 1922. Thank you Frank Conrad!

ss/maudegone

I've always thought Shannyn Sossamon was a beautiful soul from what I've seen from her in film. I'm a big fan of Warpaint and now I've stumbled across her Maudegone project and I'm an even happier little bee now that I've found it. The clips are small but all equally mesmerizing.

THE GIRL NEXT DOOR

A movie that's incredible tough to watch, let alone try and understand. It's very powerful. I couldn't even finish it to be completely honest here. The Girl Next Door is a film based on a true story of the torture, and eventually murder, of Sylvia Likens in Indiana during the mid-60's. Here's the trailer. Beware.

Stephen King himself referred to this as the suburbia-in-hell version of Stand By Me.
