There's a lot I could say, but...mmm, I don't really have time today to get into it. There's work and Arlekin's game this evening, and rozberk is coming down this weekend (hooray!), so I don't know if I'll have the time until Sunday. Either way, thanks for all the thoughts and wishes, and especially the comments about the minefield topic on racial...you know, ideas. It's given me a lot to think about the past few days.

Anyway, here are memes.

Speaking of movies, bamboofae and I saw The Corpse Bride last night. It was surprisingly good; the story itself was incredibly straightforward and the villain was inconsequential (really, they could have explored the idea of loving two women a bit more and that would have been fine), but the characters were really endearing and the songs were pretty damned catchy. Stupid Danny Elfman. :)

We also saw this little documentary called My Date With Drew, which was so so incredibly sweet. This fellow decides to spend $1100 he won from a game show (in which Drew Barrymore was the winning answer) to try and get a date with her in 30 days. He's had a crush on her since the age of 7, and he figures that the serendipity was no accident, that it's finally time to go for it. Throughout the movie he tries to angle it as an 'average Joe reaches for the unattainable' kind of deal, and within the context it really works. I don't want to give away the ending, but I will say the look on his face at one point, when all the work pays off (when he least expects it to), is just priceless. :)

Good night last night.
