Cloudy, warm and humid. 79 degrees (26.1 Celsius). Sometime over the next few days I'm going to have to turn the central air on. Plus nighttime hot flashes have returned with a vengeance. Blergh.

Not much else at the moment. Watched American Experience: Into the Deep last night, partly because it's a great series and partly because Robert Sean Leonard was one of the narrators (yes, I am shall0w, but you already knew that). RSL looked a whole heck of a lot more at ease as Herman Melville than he does as Wilson, and he even had a five o'clock shadow. He was shot in a lovely warm light that made him look just awesome. *g*

Anyway. That's it for now.

ETA that for those who are interested, here's the first review I've seen of the new Russell Crowe 'Robin Hood'. Spoilers abound.

Heh, I'm still marveling over the cinematic craftsmanship of last night's episode -- the folding of one scene into another, the constant breaking of set boundaries. I was thinking about it last night and finally realized it reminded me of Rosencrantz and Guildenstern Are Dead, in which the players are basically ... aware they're in a play, and that their roles go far beyond what's written in the script.

I think I was born into the wrong region. My favorite vacations have always been to the north -- I should've been born in Minnesota or Vermont or Maine or the Yukon or the Northwest Territories. *g*
