Hansel and Gretel

It's a difficult thing to write and watch a movie at the same time. Even a movie as terrible as Hansel and Gretel: Witch Hunters, which earned an abysmal 15 % on Rotten Tomatoes. When aggregate-review scores reach that low it's generally worth paying attention to them – why did I watch that again? At least the movie had plenty of mindless-cartoony violence.

Tomorrow I am planning an early morning bicycle tour through the birthday cakes of North St. Louis. We are two days into spring and the weather is supposed to be sub-freezing when I head out. I'm glad I haven't put my cold weather gear into storage yet.
