A not-inconvenient movie

Tonight we went with our friends M & B (and their friend C) to see An Inconvenient Truth. I don't know if it would be entirely accurate to say that I enjoyed it, since it was rather disturbing, but it was brilliantly done. I would strongly encourage you to go see it, both because I think it should be seen, and because high ticket sales may raise awareness that people do care about this issue. (Though based on current movie rankings, it's getting a lot of attention.)

It also made me desperately wish, once again, that the 2000 decision had come down in favor of Al Gore... (sigh)

Furniture adoption

A neighbor of ours is buying a new entertainment center, and is asking around as to whether anyone would like her present unit. I offered to pass the word. Here's her description:

The entertainment center actually comes in two pieces, one side holds the television (the one I have is 32"), vcr and cable box and the other side just kind of displays things - this second side has two glass doors. It's a light wood and stands about 4 feet - I'm probably way off but can get you exact measurements if you want them. It's really nice, I'm just ready for a change.

If you're interested (and able to pick it up in Allston), let me know, and I'll pass it on!
