Me as I woke up this morning: “Wow, it’s cold, wet, rainy, and miserable! It’s a Durham Christmas miracle!”

Rocky Balboa is actually really good. Even better is getting drunk afterwards, playing video games, and watching Wayne’s World.

I know I’ve been reading a lot of heavy nonfiction, because I killed a 200 page book (the fourth Dresden Files book, Summer Knight) in about two hours. That’s normally a good 4-6 hours for me. It was a good book, and I really dig some of the stuff he’s doing with his regular characters. The downside is it kind of feels like he’s settling into a groove. We shall see.
