Had a really good weekend. Hung out with the wife and relaxed with the animals. We haven't really had a weekend to just unwind in a while, so it's kind of nice. I started to watch Once Upon a Time in the Midlands which was quite entertaining (the over abundance of British accents doesn't hurt either). Saturday we watched Bolt, one of those computer animated Disney movies about a dog that thinks it has super powers. It was really cute, we both cried at the end. I'm curious if I'll ever grow out of silly Disney movies.

I've decided to try and finish a couple of books before moving on further with the couple I've started in the past few weeks. On the top of my "to finish" list are:

Last Exit to Brooklyn by Hubert Selby, JR.
The Castle in the Forest by Norman Mailer
Slapstick by Kurt Vonnegut (I admit it's a re-read, but still)
War is a Force that Gives Us Meaning by Chris Hedges (yet another re-read).

I would also like to finish Absolute War by Chris Bellamy, but I'm finding After the Reich by Giles MacDonogh to be so much more engrossing that it's hard to put one down for the other. Unfortunately After the Reich is such a heartbreaking book, it's hard to really get too much into it without starting to feel low. Alas darkness is the thing we remember most in history.
