Just finished watching "Beowulf" the new movie which is an almost complete waste of time. The graphics and fantastic, however, they are clearly anti-Christian and make that plain without even knowing the original story. The movie is not true to the text more than half of the time. They show a burning cross, attribute "Christ God" to the death of "heroes" and upholding the martyrs, and state that Jesus Christ shouldn't be added to the pantheon because basically only you control your life/ destiny anyway.
Read "My Lobotomy" by Howard Tully. A sad, true story of a 12 year old boy that received this transorbital lobotomy because his stepmother thought he was too hyper. An interesting memoir.
Started reading "World without End" by Ken Follett - the sequel to "Pillars of the Earth". Very good so far with interesting characters.
Visited the Melting Pot yesterday. Very good food. Though it does make me wonder why it is MORE expensive when you even have to cook it yourself. The Bananas Foster Fondue was super yummy.
On a sad note, Patricia Thomson passed away on Monday and I was informed on Tuesday. She was 19 years old and the daughter of Bill and Cecilia.
