If I Ever Lose my Faith in You
Christ, last week was just one little tin god after another. Lost almost all respect for someone I used to almost consider a mentor.
On the positive side, I saw Man of Steel, and loved it. It does great things with the Superman mythos - gets in the messiah role of the character, shows his humanity, and we get gods fighting their war among us. My only complaint is with Amy Adams as Lois Lane - maybe script-related, but she didn't convince me. Not a huge quibble, and for those of you who haven't seen it, I recommend it.
Spent most of yesterday in Louisville, mixing business and pleasure. Fandom Fest is in two weeks, and yesterday was an early volunteer meeting. Not mandatory, but it was a good reason to get out of the apartment and see some people. Visited the Frazier Historical Museum and its exhibit on mythological creatures (fun, but was hoping for more), and spent some of the evening with some friends of ddneyal.
Today, I'm resting up. There's a ridiculous volume of beef stew in the slow cooker, and I'm going to do some reading and a little writing this afternoon. My Dodgers (finally above .500 on the season!) are on the radio at 4, and I have no demands on my time on this sunny Bastille Day.
