Movies: I just watched Stranger than Fiction the other day, and it was surprisingly sweet and lovely. I’d only ever seen Will Ferrell in stuff like Zoolander, so it was nice to see that he can really ACT act. The rest of the cast was excellent as well.

Books: I started reading Soon I Will Be Invincible yesterday. I got it for Scott, so it was only right that I let him read it first. Good so far — I like bad-guy protagonists. In upcoming book news, just over a fortnight until Harry Potter 7. It comes out on a Saturday, so I can sit down and read it that whole day.

Music: Since my old ukulele was cheap and one of the tuning pegs broke, talk has once again turned to getting me a new one. I have to decide whether I want a soprano or a baritone. Right now I’m leaning soprano, but that may change. I’ll have to hit the local Guitar Center and see what they have that I can put my hands on.

Games: Did you know that Mercenaries is now on the backward-compatible list for the Xbox 360? Yes indeedy it is! Sadly, it does have some freezing problems. But so far it’s still fairly playable, as long as you don’t spend too much time in Pyongyang. And come this holiday season, we may have to pay full price for Mercenaries 2 when it comes out, instead of waiting for it to drop in price.
