Zack and Miri…
Simultaneously cynical and sweet; probably Kevin Smith’s best since Chasing Amy, but as a window into contemporary US mores, the mind boggles. 3.5/5
2012
Total nonsense but I loved it, and the script was wittier and more interesting than I expected (so: it had enough ideas for an episode of Fringe…) 4/5

Trunk Music/Angels Flight (Michael Connelly)
Just noting that I’m continuing to read these, and enjoy them.
License to Wed
Unfunny and unChristian. 2.5/5
Get Smart
Well, it made me laugh. 3/5
Back in the saddle

Went to hospital on Tuesday – bit of a hellish journey, I should have gone on the bike – to the Ear, Nose and Throat Unit at Addenbrooke’s. I’ve now been recommended to get a CROS hearing aid. Having managed my deafness moderately well so far I’m really intrigued to know what difference it will make. I expect the main difference will be to my levels of energy, but we shall see. (For more info on what my form of deafness involves, go here or here.)
Dreams from my father (Barack Obama)
Nice guy; not quite up to the job. The book is an interesting read but I think he might have missed his calling.
