Things that have entertained me lately, for various reasons, in no particular order:
Two Lumps;
bridge crossings;
the sad decline of epic-writing since the mid-90s;
Ewan McGregor;
a truly driven artist. Also Le Morte d'Arthur, which I am currently rereading. I'd forgotten just how plain wacky it is, and now, of course, I'm seeing them all as anime

Anakin came into the room they'd been given, and slammed to a halt and stared.
"Yes, Anakin?" Master Kenobi barely glanced at him.
"I...I'm sorry, Master." Anakin belatedly diverted his gaze.
"Ani, you know a Jedi has no embarrassment over such things as nudity."
Anakin gulped and nodded quickly. "Yes, Master. I'm not..I just... I wasn't expecting...."
He'd never actually seen Master Kenobi fully nude, before. And it was true -- Jedi had no taboos about such things. It wasn't like he'd never seen a nude person before; he was nearly seventeen and he'd spent enough time training with other Padawans that the idea of a communal shower was no more remarkable than a communal meal.
But he'd never seen his Master, naked.
"Anakin?" Master Kenobi's voice was -- amused.
Which meant he understood. Anakin forced himself to speak calmly. "I didn't expect it to be blue. Or...have feathers."
"No one ever does," Kenobi said, laughing.
Anakin nodded, and found himself hastily revising a dozen or more nighttime fantasies.
Of course, he had no idea how his Master managed, without the feathers getting in the way.

Hmm.
"It is a little inconvenient," Obi-Wan admitted, "only being able to have penetrative sex during the molting period."
Anakin tried very hard to look at something, anything, that wasn't blue and feathered, and failed spectacularly. "And, uh, when is the molting period?"
"Usually around sunset." Obi-Wan looked out the window. "It should start at any--"
A blue feather drifted slowly to the floor.

Obi-Wan: Hope is the Thing with feathers.
At least he doesn't have to wait seven years to molt.
