I always awake before the alarm sounds, but being a man of strong values, one of those values being putting unpleasantness off until the last minute, I steadfastly refuse to rise until my alarm sounds.  And it must be said that there is a delicious quality to lying in bed in the early hours of morning.  The covers are ever so warm, and the matress far softer and inviting than at any other time, but still, it being morning, and I being a student with morning classes, I rise and array myself to do battle with a far too cruel world outside the inviting landscape of sheets and bed-cover.

Having put rising this morning off until the last minute, I rose, dressed and went off to school where I am studying the exciting subjects of bookkeeping and accounting.  Bookkeeping in particular I find fascinating as it involves three sets of double letters, and for some reason reminds me of beekeeping, a completely unrelated profession that involves rather less math, and more handling more stinging insects.

Last night, I re-watched Kate & Leopold, starring Meg Ryan and Hugh Jackman.  I was rather pleasantly surprised.  While I remembered the movie being a rather nice light romantic farce, I was taken aback by the consistency of the show's primary fantasy element.  It was no All You Zombies, but it was at least self-consistent.

Tonight I will watch The Importance of Being Earnest, the 2002 Adaption, on Hulu.  I'd previously enjoyed the earlier 1952 film, and look forward to experience how a new creative team has collectively pissed on Wilde's master-work to make it their own.  I do hope they've not butchered the poor play to harshly.  I promise to report my findings here when the curtains, figuratively speaking, of course. close...
