Just finished reading:
A Short History of Nearly Everything by Bill Bryson.
Should be compulsory high school reading. Just brilliant and interesting, and I so love his writing style and humour. A broad overview of science and the history of science. A good general education, especially in areas like biology and geology which I don't know a lot about.
In 1781 Herschel became the first person in the modern era to discover a planet. He wanted to call it George, after the British monarch, but was overruled. Instead it became Uranus. - Giggled like mad and wondered whether this was related to Bugs Bunny with the Abominable Snowman and "I'll hug him and sqeeze him and call him George."

My season 2 Gilmore Girls dvds arrived yesterday (Amazon is remarkably fast at times). The cover is so pretty. And a film by kirk - lol!
Season 3 is apparently released in May. The way it's going season 4 may be released before Nein finishes showing it.
