12 Years a Slave

As I was stepping out to get dinner, I saw the snow falling fast. I went right back to my room for more instant noodle, smoked salmon, and preserved duck eggs. Fortunately two hours before, I stopped by the motel office to pick out some DVDs. I had been wanted to watch 12 Years a Slave over a decade ago, but hadn’t had a chance until tonight. It is so heartbreaking and heavy. It was eye opening though. American has an ugly history. It has come a long way, but not quite there yet.
