Sorry for not posting for a couple of days, I seem to be suffering from some sort of slow-acting debilitating disease that has gradually been sapping my strength. Anyway, I'll keep this to a couple of unconnected quick-hit thoughts:
- I saw Coraline in theatres, and was much pleased. You should too. It was a great little movie, and as fan of the book it fully lived up to my standards.
- Next weekend I shall be in Washington DC, ostensibly to attend a climate-change conference, but I'm really looking forward to the bit where I get to visit several old friends who reside in the region these days. It should be quite an adventure.
- I'm in the midst of re-reading what is possibly my favorite book (The Killer Angels) for the umpteenth time, and it makes me very happy. I came across the following phrase, which thoroughly reinforced my belief that it is the best book ever: "Lee watched quietly as Longstreet gloomed about." Gloom as a verb! Brilliant! At some point in my life I really hope to do something half that cool...
- My treasured beanbag is slowly deflating, much to my chagrin. Still cozy and ideal for napping, however.
- Loyal readers may recall a much earlier post when I described the way that there seemed to be a great number of dead flies in the overhead light in my room, and I have an update. I looked up today, saw the aforementioned deceased insects, and realized how amazingly gross it was. So I unscrewed the light, and found to my horror that there were many, many, many dead bugs in there. I unceremoniously threw them out, but I STILL HAVE NO FREAKING IDEA HOW THEY GOT THERE.
