Beautiful weather. Bright sun, not a cloud in the sky, 89 degrees (31.7 degrees Celsius).

Watched a Canadian movie last night -- Passchendaele. It wasn't bad. The romantic sidestory was pretty predictable, but I thought the film did a great job depicting the filth and utter horror of trench warfare. Paul Gross was okay, but I really liked Joe Dinicol as the kid who wants to prove himself a man (cliched, but still good) and Jim Mezon as the Major. The scene where he shames the young, draft-age men at the recruiting event ("Eyes wide open," he says, and smiles a cold, cold smile) was just awesomely done. He was absolutely terrific, and I will look for him again.

Working on the Riververse story and hope to have it up for real in a couple of weeks. :-)

Must run a couple of errands today. Also donated to Planned Parenthood this morning because of this jackass. Pathetic state of affairs is pathetic.
