Every time I see the advert for Looper, I want to congratulate the make up / costume/ general effects teams on not making Joseph Gordon Levitt not look like himself, not in a bad way, but in a oh, it is him sort of way.

Politics:
Okay so I sometimes lurk on chemistry blogs. One recent set of posts was all about the French government managing to save a few jobs at Sanofi Aventis. Most of the blogs have mostly US-based commenters. I am amazed at the number of people who are annoyed at the French government looking after their own citizens, rather than at the US government for not looking after theirs.

TNA:
No, idiots in the Impact crowd, Chavo does not suck.
Not counting those idiots, there was actually a lot of fun crowd stuff, in between Storm getting the crowd to help him beat up Roode, and Bully Ray and Austin Aries causing havoc. Oh how I love thee, Austin Aries, even though I can see the thick, strong roots of your heel turn.

Book Review
The Science of Discworld -
Very enjoyable book, with the science clearly explained. I loved the Discworldy-insert bits, especially Ponder Stibbons. It's terribly accurate about academics wizards. The only extra thing I could have done with is a bibliography so I can track down some of the books they mention.
The Science of Discworld II: The Globe by Terry Pratchett
The Science of Discworld III: Darwin's Watch by Terry Pratchett
A Tourist Guide to Lancre: A Discworld Mapp by Terry Pratchett
The Discworld Companion by Terry Pratchett
The Unseen University Challenge: Terry Pratchett's Discworld Quizbook (Gollancz SF S.) by David Langford
Flying Sorcerers by Peter Haining
The Wizards of Odd: Comic Tales of Fantasy by Peter Haining
The Wyrdest Link: A Terry Pratchett Discworld Quizbook by David Langford
Snow White and the Seven Samurai by Tom Holt
Good Omens: The Nice and Accurate Prophecies of Agnes Nutter, Witch by Neil Gaiman
I've already read one of the suggestions and am looking to read another 2, so it's accurate. The unsuggestions seem to be mostly the kind of books I avoid reading so again, reasonably accurate.
