Aubrey and Maturin onscreen

The first reviews for Master and Commander are up at Ain't It Cool News.

That one reviewer who has not read the books says that "Aubrey has an extremely close relationship with his ship's doctor, played by Paul Bettany" gives me hope.

I'm so glad that there are movies based on favorite books coming up that I actually want to see, instead of travesties like League of Extraordinary Gentlemen. (Read the comic instead. Please. It's really really good.)

This is just a random post to say that I've been meaning to tell you for awhile now that I love your icon. I have no clue what it is or what it's from, but it's cool. :-)

Hey, thanks! Way to put a smile on my face :-)

It's a sketch by Brian Froud of the thirteen-hour clock in the movie Labyrinth, which I love with a mad passion. (The movie, I mean, not the clock. Although I like the clock a lot too.)
