my summer has been going rather swimmingly, despite the fact that i have yet to go for a swim (har, har!). corny jokes aside, my returned grades were stellar, work has been going well, and i have exploited every possible opportunity to be a bum at home watching movie after movie. i have become a walking bathrobe, and i love it!

speaking of movies, i actually managed to get into the sun — without burning up like a vampire — and into a movie theatre. a review of troy has been the result of this strenuous effort.
