Update

Eighty percent packed, I think, for the Big Trip. Going to pause, head out to Paramus (little known fact: "Paramus" is from the Ramapo Indian term for "five shopping malls that ganged up and got themselves a ZIP Code") to finally catch Pirates of the Caribbean. (I think that's how it's spelled.)

I leave the populace with a question: in the widely panned movie "Battlefield Earth", was the hero a Mary Sue? (I ask, not expecting an answer, because that would mean that someone who reads this journal saw the movie, and I hope that people who read this journal have better taste than that...)
