So glad to be back home. Now I can try to forget about work and wind down by eating leftover congee from Big Wong and watching one of the two Netflix movies I get every month. This time it's Herzog's Encounters from the End of the World. I will take advantage of my time home alone to watch this one since I think the last Herzog documentary I made Neil see (Grizzly Man-- quite grizzly indeed) was probably one of the strangest things he's ever experienced... Well, perhaps it is a bit odd that I could watch 8 hours of Ken Burns straight, but I find documentaries so calming! From the folksy violin soundtracks, and the grainy clips of old footage, to the neutral, soothing voice-over.
