The Royal Tenenbaums

Just watched it. Fantastic movie. Brilliant cast. Incredible soundtrack that contains not just one, but two songs from the Vince Guaraldi Trio’s “A Charlie Brown Christmas” album and Paul Simon’s “Me and Julio Down by the Schoolyard.” I loved it. Cross another one off the list.

In Agony Waiting for Harry Potter 7

I challenge you to read the Known Plot Details section of the Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows article on Wikipedia and not want to find J.K. Rowling and force some Veritaserum down her throat.

Sunday Foxtrot Treat

Today’s Foxtrot is a synergy of two of my all-time favorite comics. Unfortunately it was just announced that there will be no more Foxtrot dailies after this year is over. This means that out of my four favorite comic strips — Calvin & Hobbes, Peanuts, Foxtrot, and Garfield — only one is still being drawn regularly.
