Movies

Saw "Venus" with Peter O'Toole which was really good, and "Fur" with Robert Downey Jr and Nicole Kidman, which was not bad.

Book

Finished "A Mathematical Mystery Tour: Discovering the Truth and Beauty of the Cosmos" by A. K. Dewdney, which held my interest until the end because I'm very interested in the subject these days, but was ultimately disappointing and kind of stupid. It was arranged as a fictional set of meetings with mathematicians around the world, and I just kept wishing it had been an *actual* set of meetings with mathematicians around the world.

Also re-read Steinbeck's "Sweet Thursday", (because "Cannery Row", the first book, seems to be missing from my collection). Great book.
