The dear little rabbits (aw, bless) have been eating the books on the bottom shelf in the back room. These books were quite valuable- once. 

The whole house is a mess. You live with mess and you get used to it, but coming back to it after a break, the full ghastliness hits you in the face. The dust, the grit, the piles of stuff!. And there's not much I can do about it. Not while Karl is still stripping walls and sanding woodwork.

Look at Tony, look at Gordon! Watch them fight! I don't feel entirely good about it, but I feel Biblical about Blair. I want him to go down in shame and ignominy with the sun in eclipe and liquid fire raining down on Whitehall. In an ideal world I'd like him to be put on trial for war crimes, but that's never going to happen, is it?

They're very fond of one another. And the big one is getting bolder.

Watership Down is one of my daughter's and nephew's all-time favorite books. I've tried to read it several times and can't get beyond chapter One. Kate, otoh, doesn't like Tolkien's LOTR, which amazes me.

She swears Watership Down makes her feel cozy and happy, but I don't know if I want to read about Rabbit Wars--sounds almost oxymoronic, doesn't it?

"The primroses were over...."

I don't fancy Watership Down. A bunny epic? No, it doesn't do it for me either.

There's a delicious moment in Wallace & Gromit: Curse of the Wererabbit: Gromit is nervously waiting in the truck with the doors locked, waiting for Wallace to return, and he tries out the radio to take his mind off things, and rolls his eyes when he hears the Watership Down movie theme song--"Bright Eyes..."

I haven't seen that movie yet.

Why haven't I seen that movie yet? It's a big omission
