Asy Book Fair: The Book of Bunny Suicides is too amusing.

I wanted to see the original before I wrote anything about it, but what the heck. I saw the new Manchurian Candidate recently. It’s not a bad movie, but it suffers from some slowness and a somewhat obvious plot twist.

I wonder if the original movie was as obvious or paced similarly. The original is supposed to be some classic film, but Frank Sinatra evokes thoughts of the Rat Pack, which doesn’t enthrall me. This happens to a lot of supposedly classic movies. Oh, well.

Everyone needs a picture of a bazillion airplanes.

Our recent trip was interesting because it wasn’t exclusively for the purposes of visiting family - We actually had other business there. Berta’s 15-year class reunion was the event of the day.
