Reviews, Movie and Apple

(For details on using Google Reader in place of the Buddy List, look over here.)

First, let me say how delightfully itch-free I am today, courtesy of my new favorite wonder-drug, Zyrtec. I could do a freaking commercial. I was a mess yesterday, and today, fine. The human body is so weird.

Since I started my exploration into the Wide World of Apples, I've tried

• Fuji
• Gala
• Braeburn
• American Cameo
• Pink Lady

They were all pretty good, actually, but the Pink Lady and the Braeburn didn't stand out at all. I still have left to try Royal Gala (which I think are the same as Gala, just smaller), Rome (which are baking apples?), and Granny Smith, which is what K eats so we always have them around. I haven't seen any other varieties in the stores here, although there was a sign above the apple shelf that said "Empire", but none of those in the bin.

It seems to be settled, then. I like apples. It's like when the government does one of those studies that cost millions of dollars and they come up with results that were so DUH that you can't believe they did a study, like the reason that babies cry is that they're unhappy, or something like that. Anyway, apples are good. You heard it here first.

We haven't had rain yet today, but it's coming, and the skies are darkening. There was no place to go today, really, so K and I finally watched The Queen, which had come from the blockbuster online people. As we expected, it was an excellent film, and Helen Mirren's performance was really outstanding. You almost don't think so, because she's so under-stated that you can believe that she really is Queen Elizabeth, but of course, no. Very much worth watching.

Tomorrow begins the countdown for the last three weeks of school. Can't believe it's almost over. With any luck, K will get some working days out of it.

I'm going to post and give the Sibs a call. Tomorrow.
