Watching and reading

Miracle - My family can't stop watching this since we checked it out from the library a couple weeks ago. It's not great, or even that good, but it sounds like home. And little Mr. Eli's favorite game is now "hockey guy!" all over the wood floors in his stocking feet. The cruel irony of moving 1300 miles from Duluth Minnesota only to become a potential hockey mom is really not be borne, but we have promised him skating lessons next winter if he's still interested by then.

Word Wars: Tiles and Tribulations on the Scrabble Game Circuit - So glad this did not come in glorious Smell-o-Rama. That Scrabble circuit is full of guys who are so into the game that they look like they don't have time to, well, shower. Fascinating, if you're interested in geeks (and who isn't?) but lots of those moments (not unlike Trekkies, say, or The Lifestyle) where you gotta wince and look away.

Has anyone else read Never Let Me Go by Kazuo Ishiguro? I'm dying to talk to someone about it. So creepy! Yet, so sweet! And so sad!
