Movies

Watched "Hairspray" (the 2007 version), which I enjoyed more than I expected.

Rewatched "To Kill A Mockingbird". How great is the scene where Jem innocently defuses the mob on the jailhouse steps just by personalizing one of them? Best courthouse speech ever too.

Book

Finished "Ages In Chaos: James Hutton and the Discovery of Deep Time" by Stephen Baxter, which was not as interesting as I expected, but not bad.
