Ebert gives Watchmen four stars. Wow. Maybe it won’t suck after all.
Edited to add: He’s already gone back to see it a second time on IMAX and has written an essay about it.

The Biggest Liar
One of the recently eliminated contestants on the American version of The Biggest Loser was shown to have completed his first marathon in under four hours. Inspirational, right? Except it was a big, fat lie. His real time was actually six hours, and he and his wife were driven in a van by producers for several miles towards the end. Everyone involved has issued an apology, but runners are pissed off and calling for him to give back his finisher’s medal. I totally agree. I’m going to run one of those suckers someday, and I’m not gonna cheat when I do it.

has finished four punishing workouts in four days. Muscles feel like overstretched rubber bands.
is wondering WHAT IN THE HELL is up with the buses tonight?! I’m going to be late for Fin’s birthday dinner!
@tim0th Update on the blog. He’s doing great! Doesn’t seem to know anything’s missing. 🙂
is groaning. All-you-can-eat Korean BBQ is not compatible with diet. Uuuuurrrrgh. (It was so good though.)
@henrytapia It wasn’t technically AYCE. It was just that they brought out way more food than we could ever eat. (I reek of garlic today.)

Petey Update
He’s fine, just as the vet said he would be. Snookums took him into the house while I was parking the car, and he said that he seemed really excited to be back at home. We weren’t supposed to give him any food for a while, but he didn’t seem in the mood for eating anyway. He hid under the futon for a few hours to recuperate. Then about 8:30 he emerged, gave a stretch, and was back to his old self. I might be imagining it, but he seems more affectionate now too. He cuddled with us for a while when we went to bed, and he sat on my lap for a while this morning at breakfast. Dr. Amy, of course, was rather put out to discover that the interloper had returned. So we had to give her some extra cuddles too…

Knitting Apps
Venks just sent me this list of knitting apps for the iPhone. I knew about StitchMinder, but the others were new to me. I did a search on the App Store and there are even more now! I just downloaded Yarn Pirateer, which is a free stash organiser.
