mikailborg: I can't even remember what event I was attending, but I must have been taking it seriously. (menace)

Ocean's Twelve had some really funny parts, but it wasn't really a good caper movie. It's so busy being cute and inscrutable that the we give up on the plot too long before the Big Twists are revealed. Still worth a ticket for the good bits, but don't expect the coolness of the first one.

Continued musings on the plight of the superhero: if you have a Code Against Killing, but the serial-murdering super-villain you've just captured laughs at you and tells you he'll be back on the street killing people in 6 months - and you know he's right - what do you do? Break your code and make sure the villain can't hurt anyone else ever? Or follow your code, knowing that the likelihood is that people will die for your choice?

Morning linkage: This is a keen Smithsonian webpage that allows you to sit in the cockpit of several aircraft, from a Spad to a Mercury capsule, using QuickTimeVR.

Saw the last of the Vulcan arc of Enterprise this weekend - it did not disappoint. As usual, a few quibbles - I'd have like to have gotten farther in the head of the main bad guy, and another character did something stupid for an excruciatingly long time before stopping and admitting he should have known better - but plenty of good stuff. Trip is growing up fast, and it's great to watch; and the sehlat exchange was classic Vulcan dry humor. "You keep a pet - Porthos." "Porthos doesn't try to eat me if I'm late with dinner." "Vulcan children are never late with dinner." I'm back to being a regular watcher, I think.

I've had a cold or a bug or something for days. Sore throat and stomach issues all week, then weakness Friday and Saturday, and Boom! - Sunday was Drainage and Constant Sneezing Day. This morning, it's nearly all gone away - I am thankful.
