I really should not sit at my computer with black jelly beans within reach.  They're addicting.

Amy and I watched the old BBC versions of Prince Caspian and The Voyage of the Dawn Treader last night.  PC is awful.  I about died laughing at poor Glenstorm the Centaur (an effects fiasco if there ever was one) and we were not very surprised that they ( Read more... )
