Chi-Raq

— I tried, really I did, and the darn Netflix disc sat on my counter day after day taunting me, questioning why I was avoiding life in a gang-ravaged Chicago with a Lysistrata plot. Well, I just didn’t want to go there and I ended up sending the disc back unwatched. Maybe I’ll be overcome with guilt and have it sent back to me a year or two from now but, in the meantime, I’m breathing a sigh of relief to have it out of my house.
