I have been struck by the plague again.  I'm not sure what it really is, but that's what I'm calling it, the plague.  It started out with a sore throat, then a cough, then I lost my voice.  I'm just sick of feeling bad!  Anyway, that's the current running excuse for my blogging absence.

Luckily, there is nothing I have to do this weekend, so I probably will spend a bunch of time on the couch watching movies.  I'm not sure what I will watch.  There is more at the actual movies that I want to see than on my apple tv, but I'm sure I will manage somehow.

In addition to needing to get to the theatre to see Lincoln, there are actually a couple of documentaries coming out that I really want to see.  I just love documentaries!  I know, they aren't mainstream, but I enjoy them so much.

Here are a couple that I've been waiting to be released...


"Koch" looks great, if you are a nerdy political junkie like me.  Sadly, Mayor Ed Koch died today.  I've always thought he was such a lively political character.  I say always because, like many children of the 1980's, I was first introduced to Mayor Koch in, "The Muppets Take Manhattan."  I later enjoyed him in other movie and television appearances including "Sex and the City".  



On a completely different note, Dave Grohl has directed a documentary, "Sound City", that I really want to see.  I premiered at Sundance and I can't wait to see it (it has an awesome soundtrack too!)...


So that's all I've got!   Hope you have a good weekend! *update: just discovered "Sound City" is available on Apple TV already!

Europe 2024 {Day 10 ~ Munich, Germany}

On December 22nd, I departed Salzburg train station at 8:00 and arrived in Munich at 9:40.  The station is under construction and a real mess!  I finally made my way out and found it was really raining.  I made my way to a taxi and took it to my hotel.  My hotel room wasn't ready but they kept my bags for me and I headed out.   I have been to Munich a couple of times and wanted to see a couple of things I haven't had a chance to do before.  I planned to to go to the Nazi Documentation Center first since it was raining, but when I looked it up on my phone to double check the hours, I learned they had just closed for renovations.  So rain or not, I was going to have to head out to Nymphemburg Palace.  I took the tram out and then walked to the palace. I don't know why, but I didn't take many pictures on the inside. I also bought a ticket to the Royal Stables Museum which houses lots of coaches. I really found all the sleighs to be a sight to see, bu...
