I finished watching 'The Wizard of Oz' yesterday, then watched 'Meet Me in Saint Louis' which was good, though I didn't love it. I'm glad I saw the movie though. Seeing 'The Wizard of Oz' again, on DVD was interesting. I picked up on lots of details I'd never noticed before, like the Scarecrow carrying a gun when coming to save Dorothy from the Witch, and the Witche's reference to the Jitterbug (a cut sequence that I've known about for decades). There was also a behind the scenes documentary with (gag) Angela Lansbury that was recorded for the 50th Anniversary, which I saw when it was new back in 1989/1990. The 70th anniversiary is next year.

Instead of taking 1 of my Zombie capsules, I took half of one, mixing half of a capsule with my food. It seems to have worked so far... But these things can be tricky.

My new Star Trek book should be here today, though I'm not sure exactly when that will be; probably not until this afternoon. I'll probably begin reading it as soon as it arrives; that's the plan at least.

I've seen some pictures from the new Trek movie, and I like the costumes and actors, but the inside of the Enterprise looks rather different... But everyone who's seen the rough cut of the film seems pleased as punch with it, so maybe the story overcomes these details? I look forward to finding out.

Next year seems like a good movie year for me. Star Trek. Harry Potter 6. Watchmen. I'm sure there are more. But I can't remember the last time there were 2 movies I was excited about in advance like this.

I'm going back to bed. Mark leaves for work in about an hour. I won't have the internet until he gets home.
