I am SO OVER Seabiscuit already. Enough Seabiscuit. Please, I'm begging you.

Another thing I've noticed a lot lately is the word: peripatetic. It seems like it should be about ulcers or digestive problems but Webster says: pedestrian, itinerant. It sounds wrong.

I haven't mentioned how fabulous The Whale Rider is -- or if I have, I forgot. But please go see it. And bring at least 3 boxes of tissues. I also saw Pirates of the Caribbean which for a movie based on a theme park ride -- is pretty damn good. But then you've got Johnny Depp, Orlando Bloom and pirates. It would be a crime if it was messed up. One story problem though: a lot of energy spent fighting the undead. Why would you fight to kill pirates who can't die?
