Movies

A long plane trip, so lots.

Darjeeling Limited: same old Wes Anderson. We get it, dude. Better than Life Aquatic at least.

The Bourne Ultimatum: the exact same movie as the previous two. Which was all I was expecting, I guess, so it was an acceptable soporific.

Juno: people seem to love or hate this movie, but I thought it was just pretty good.

More to come, I just forget what they were.

Books

Finished (mostly) The Best American Science Writing 2003, which had some good stuff but mostly wasn't as good as the 2006 edition. Seeing it's just an anthology, that either means that 1) science writing has improved 2) more interesting stuff happened in 2006 or 3) the 2006 version was just better edited. I hope it's 1 but suspect it's 2 or 3.

Finished "Raise High The Roof Beams, Carpenters/Seymour: An Introduction" by J.D. Salinger which was, to me, incredible. Two very different stories, but both simply outstanding. The latter half vaults this book into top ten all time status for me. I will surely read this again some day.
