Vindicated! Someone else has noticed that the Jedi Archives room from Star Wars: Attack of the Clones looks exactly like the Long Library at Trinity College, Dublin. The Snook and I saw the library a year ago and we immediately noticed the resemblance when we saw the movie. It really does look just like that,…

AU4P. Now what the hell does that mean? It’s chalked up and down all the footpaths in Newtown. Seriously, I saw one every twenty feet from the North Indian Home Diner to the high school (like six blocks). One version is followed by a question mark. I just have no clue. It’s like I’ve wandered…

Have you Domers been reading The Observer lately? Seems my old dorm, PW, is in the center of a big scandal right now. The assistant rector was fired but Student Affairs (and our rector) aren’t giving a reason. The AR claims that it was a personality conflict with the rector, but neither she nor any…

It was a weekend of extremes. Saturday night the Snook and I rocked out at the Reel Big Fish concert. Sunday afternoon we attended his grandma’s 80th birthday party. (We gave her a set of the photo marble magnets I made, which she loved.) Now I’m just tired.

I picked up my copy of Kushiel’s Dart at Borders today. (It was in the sci-fi/fantasy section, if any of you are having difficulty finding it.) To be honest, it doesn’t look like something I’d pick up otherwise. But that’s the whole point of this little exercise, isn’t it? I’m loving that we’re reading such…

Take Rolling Stone‘s Simpsons Quiz! The Snook and I only missed a couple.
