Last night we saw Word Wars, a documentary about Scrabble. It made me want to get good at Scrabble, even if the reward isn't so good. Also, all the good scrabble players are fairly messed up.

Oh, I also saw the Star Wars movie a while ago. It made me sleepy in parts but was not as silly as episode 1. Episode 2 I didn't see, so maybe I missed some things. Space seemed to be a lot more high tech in this one than in the older (but later) Star Wars movies.
Last weekend I went to a wedding. it was at this museum. Mr. and Mrs. Backwardscity formalized it. It was nice, as weddings should be. The Wilmington airport is very expensive. $7 for a bottle of water, bottle of soda, gum and chips? I think that's more than laguardia or JFK. Who would have predicted that? Also while in NC: caught an episode of Bibleman, starring the buddy guy from Charles in Charge. I guess the daily show doesn't need to make this stuff up.
The Bibleman website also links to a site that proudly brags to be " the only national organization fighting to repeal the Brady instant "registration" check, and is alone in pushing truly constitutional CCW legislation that allows law-abiding citizens to carry a firearm without a permit." wow. There is also acually a villain named "Wacky Protester" I am glad to be back home.
Oh and another Franzen piece in the New Yorker...he must have some incriminating evidence to hold over the editors' heads...
