Got here Tuesday morning. Jetlag was mercifully light. I think it helped that we napped for a few hours on Tuesday afternoon. There's never any consistent trick to overcoming jetlag, I find. There are just better and worse trips.

We watched a Lithuanian movie -- The Lease -- part of the "Days of International Film" festival. My best irrelevant observation so far is: if that film had been made in Hollywood, they wouldn't have used the actress's feet. They'd have used a foot model.

Before the main feature there was a short claymation movie called PIRAT, which was about a pirate. He drank a lot of rum, ate fish, and shot things with his musket. Immediately before the pirate movie was a trailer for Bowling for Columbine (including the bank/gun scene that's been debunked elsewhere), and while I was watching this pirate shooting birds and octopi, I thought: Of course, the United States is the world's source of cartoon violence.

Right.
