Last Reprieve

Due to crazy rain and flooding in the area, campus was closed today, so no department meeting! One final day to get serious about organizing all the paper that has come through my life in the past year or so.

Or, to finish watching the disc of season one of Battlestar Galactica--I hear there's room on the bandwagon.

After 12 Years...

I guess it was time for a change.

Stardust

One of the films that I've been excited to see for nearly a year is finally out! Katie, Nate, and I saw Stardust on Thursday, and it was amazing! It's based on a book by Neil Gaiman, a man who if he wasn't married I would spend every minute of my free time knocking on doors in and around the woods and farms of Wisconsin so I could propose, an incredible author. This fantasy story has a light, sweet quality to it that I can't properly articulate. It's not as serious or Important as for instance Lord of the Rings in the sense that the fate of the world or all known existence does not rely on our hero. No, Tristan is just a boy looking to be a hero for his one true love. Of course, other heroic adventures ensue along the way of finding a fallen star for his girl that are greater than him, but it basically deals with interpersonal issues and is none-the-less enjoyable because of it. So, well worth the time and trouble it might cost you to see it. And you'll get to see Bobby DeNiro like never before.
