District 9
I watched this movie last night because I'm going to be nominating Hugo awards and this seemed like a likely candidate for a nomination. It's a surprisingly good science fiction movie. I found it very unpleasant to watch because of all the violence, so I only gave it two stars at netflix, but really, Hollywood [...]
The Lacuna
The central character in this book is the son of a US bureaucrat and a Mexican woman. He lives in both countries growing up, and in Mexico city ends up working for Diego Rivera; his wife, Frida Kahlo; and their houseguest, Leon Trotsky. Later he becomes a best-selling novelist and is hounded by the House [...]
Reading PDF files on a portable device
This is a holy grail for people who want to carry their libraries in their pockets and read without glasses or special lighting. The problem is that a lot of the people who distribute ebooks seem to think that using a page-description language like PDF is a suitable distribution method. But actually reading something formatted [...]
The Spare Room
This book is about aspects of taking care of a dying person that I mostly didn't do with Bonnie. The main character (Helen) lives near Melbourne, and has a close friend (Nicola) with cancer who lives in Sidney but has found a "clinic" in Melbourne that she believes will cure her cancer. So she moves [...]
How the Burns party went
I'm just now getting to hear the recordings from the concert on January 30, so I'll write about that later. Yesterday's Burns birthday party was quite pleasant. My sister, the hostess, read an article from the Manchester Guardian pointing out that the custom started within a few years of Burns' death, when there were still [...]
More Judith
I had to spend most of the morning producing the handout for the party, so I'll give you the rest of it today. I'm reading parts of two sections -- the one I gave you yesterday about Holofernes cutting off the water supply to Bethulia, and the one about the death of Holofernes. Here's the [...]
The Book of Judith
I'm going to a Robert Burns Birthday Party tomorrow, where people read poetry that's impressed them. We'll also song some Burns songs and read some of the standard Burns, but people mostly pick poems that mean something to them no matter who the poet is or when they were written. I thought over what poetry [...]
Bright Star
This is one of the best movies I've ever seen about a poet. The people who make movies in general do better with composers -- you're going to need background music anyway. You can actually have background poetry in some cases, as the reading of Ode to a Nightingale over the closing credits of this [...]
