as promised, here is the first in what may be a 5 piece carbohydrate collection. we're working on the niedlov's breadworks website, and i was able to spend a few hours on friday and saturday playing around with loaves of bread down at the bakery. it wasn't nearly long enough. the sweets consider themselves artisan bakers, and the artisan element really comes out when you start to closely examine these loaves. it sounds kind of funny, be each loaf seems a small work of art on its own. this photo is a collection of most of the different kinds of bread that they bake, from the european country loaf to the wholey whole wheat.

last night mesh and i caught the 10:15 (and only) showing of city of god. i hadn't really heard anything about it until he mentioned it at church on sunday, but its a pretty incredible film. a central/south-american piece, feels similar to some others like amores perros, and traffic. its shot with a great deal of style and a level of mindless violence that leaves one a little stunned. at the same time, mesh and i both expressed a little disappointment over how little emotional involvement the characters evoked. tonight is shattered glass, down at the bijou - the story of the fall from grace of fabricational journalist stephen glass. the show starts at 7:10 for all interested.
