I know Charis posted it too, but for those of you who've missed it: Worrying developments in Fantasy Movie-Land. The movie industry, having gobbled down Shakespeare and Jane Austen (Shakespeare in Love and Becoming Jane respectively) now wants to gobble down poor old Tolkien and Lewis.

...I can't believe that I'm learning about Aboriginal ESP in a law course.
Dad's coming home from his round-the-world trip tomorrow! He's seen the Seven Wonders of the Industrial World and has lots of souvenirs...nuts, bolts, tiny plastic powder-injected tools.

So, I got a whole carload of new icons, including The Awesome Napoleon Dynamite Dancing In Edoras Icon. Because geekage like that is just so hard to find.
What else? Oh, I spent most of today curled up on the floor reading my Agatha Christie thriller (her murder mysteries aren't a crack on her thrillers).

My Shakespeare essay, which I am slightly proud of in spite of a howler in the second paragraph and the weakest conclusion in existence. But I'll fix that tomorrow.
