On the ICON front, tomorrow’s outing is canceled due to Orson Scott Card’s event being sold out. Boo, hiss. In the unlikely event one of you has a couple of tickets to spare, let me know.

On the Haifa Film Festival front, we went to see Calendar Girls, which was an amusing, “feel good” flick. You can’t go wrong with British accents and breasts! (In my defense, ladypine picked the movie).

We also bought tickets to see two other movies, on Friday: The first is To Kill a King, a historical piece set in England, 1645. It meshes in nicely with the book I’m reading, Quicksilver, which takes place 15 or so years later. The second, Intolerable Cruelty is the newest Cohen brothers film. The brothers’ reputation precedes them and I have high hopes for this movie.

Well, it seems that my keyboard didn’t survive, it just took a couple of hours to die. Thankfully, I had a couple of keyboards waiting in the Magical Box of Computer Stuff I Might Some Day Need. One was even working, and I’m using it to type this now. Working, but that’s about all I can say about it. A trip to the computer store is certainly in order. There I will ogle, fondle, and eventually take home a shiny new keyboard.

ladypine and me will be going to ICON tomorrow, to hear Orson Scott Card and see the movie ‘equilibrium’. If you’re going to be there, drop me a note and maybe we’ll get together for dinner or drinks?

but it survived! and every key stroke is strawberry flavored now!
