mmmmm...invisible cola.
I just spent 90 minutes mesmerized by the Ric Burns (brother of other docu-guy Ken Burns) documentary: The Donner Party. In case the title doesn't give it away for you, it is about a large party of "settlers" who got stuck in the mountains on thier way to California and had to stay there the whole winter, in 1847.
Without going into lengthy and cannibalistic detail, it sucked to be them.
I bought the documentary on DVD having seen some of it on Cable in the Classroom awhile ago. It has some good vocal talent including George Plimpton, Francis Sternhagen, Amy Madigan and a few more people whose names I just forgot.
Anyway, if you're ghoulish like me, or just love history check it out.
Or don't. See if I care...
