Dave was adorable on Becker last night. I just sat there, adoring him. Rolled-up sleeves AND freckles; was it my birthday or something??

I forgot to take my Gleemonex this morning and I was already 20 minutes late so today will be an Experiment in Dizziness.

Since I left late I walked with my dad to the subway and we rode a few stops together. We walked smack into Grandpa Al, who, despite the early hour, was puffing away at one of his signature cigars. So I got a delightful wake-up of cigar smoke in the face as we exchanged our neighbourly pleasantries.

To deflect the course of conversation from Boring Stories of The Old Days of Sci-Fi Fandom as we walked, I asked my dad, "So, are you looking forward to the Lord of the Rings movie?"

"No!"-- the immediate and forceful response.

"Oh! Why not?"

Followed was an incomprehensible rant-- something about taking a minor background character and making her major, whilst giving a major character no screentime, and betraying the fans, and hogwash, and all sorts of stuff that is only interesting to Tolkein Geeks.

"Wow. I think it looks kind of good, and I didn't even read the book. I found it boring."

"That's because you didn't get past the first hundred pages..."
