London Marathon

Here are two very English photos from the London marathon several weekends ago:

Enders Game

It sounds like we'll have to wait a bit longer for the movie production of Enders Game. Although supposedly the script is written, producers are searching for another director. Yet, for those of us who are sci-fi fans, fear not, Marvel Comics (with input from Orson Scott Card) should be releasing a new Ender's Game and Ender's Shadow comic book series later this year. Woo!

(And geekdom shines through)

Caught in an afternoon rain shower

And then the rain cleared. Hyde Park last weekend:

Billy Jean

Sorry David Archuletta, David Cook has become my new favorite American Idol. Combined with a little Michal Jackson and Chris Cornell, this is pretty good stuff:

Adventure

"The Road goes ever on and on
Down from the door where it began.
Now far ahead the Road has gone,
And I must follow, if I can,
Pursuing it with eager feet,
Until it joins some larger way
Where many paths and errands meet.
And wither then? I cannot say."

"Not all those who wander are lost."
- J.R.R. Tolkien

"I may not have gone where I intended to go,
but I think I have ended up where I intended to be"
- Douglas Adams
