Two things.

I saw _The Host_ last night. What a very odd movie. Part political farce, part family comedy, part gross-out horror. I'm sure there are a lot of other parts I am missing in there too. It was pretty funny; at one point it seems that a lobotomy, or some kind of brain sugery, actually makes one of the characters smarter. Speaking of lobotomies, I also just finished reading _One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest_. In many ways a great novel. Though the lobotomies there don't have quite the same result.

What I'm working on now has 28 works cited in the first 16 pages. Maybe I'm a better researcher than I am an arguer. I guess that means I should've been a historian. That's right, I said it. Suck on that, historians!

One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest is probably my favorite novel. Not the best I've ever read, but one of my favorites.

In high school forensics (prose interpretation) I even used an abridged version the ending as my piece. The judges who were familiar with the novel loved it. For those who weren't, my performance as/reading the role of a large native american man was a little lost on them.
