ramblings

I am having a busy week and all my thoughts are stale.  I’ll just ramble a bit.

Picked up the book The Lightning Thief and Nim’s Island from the library.  Both appear charming and I doubt that the film versions caught the whimsical tone of either book.

Still watching season 2 of House MD.  Cameron is less annoying since the writers dialed down her smugness a bit.

Watched a Starz special on character actors The Face is Familiar.  The choice to focus on how hard it is to get roles in Hollywood films was a poor one.  I would have preferred seeing any old Hollywood actors and seeing contemporary ones in more depth.

I managed to watch 4 musicals recently (at least I think of them as musicals): Blues Brothers, Drumline, August Rush and The Fighting Temptations.  They were all a lot of fun, although I had seen Drumline and the Blues Brothers years ago.

In the middle of Pharoah’s Daughter by Julius Lester.  I have Escape from Egypt by Sonia Levitin and Temples, Tombs & Hieroglyphs by Barbara Mertz (Amelia Peabody mysteries) on hand too.  I didn’t realize the common theme until today.
