i've been listening to an orson scott card story on cd in the car for the last few days. finished the story today. can't say i really liked it. actually hated it at first. i was just starting to warm to it when i found out that the characters in the story are supposed to be 8 yr olds. just too dumb. story had two readers. one of them was so mannered that he was really off-putting. generally disappointing.

dinner

blt sandwiches (2)
potato salad
iced tea

we watched a star trek:tng episode from the seventh season. worf episode in which paul sorvino is worf's brother. lots of prime directive blather but an interesting story on the whole.

we watched the last half of chariots of fire after that. great cast. wonderful costumes. gorgeous locations. and that nutty soundtrack. had a good time watching it but the sound drove us nuts. if you made it loud enough to hear the dialog, the music blew your head off. if you adjusted to make the music comfortable you could barely make out the conversations.
