So, Yann Martel's Life of Pi won the Booker. For once, I can respond to a book award by saying "Hey, I read that." I leave my much-pilloried sour grapes concerning lit honors behind and simply remark that it was a fun read.

In other book news, a colleague pointed out this to me, which I find encouraging, as it suggests that what I had previously thought was a bad habit is actually a dietary regimen helping to make me a healthy, brain-cell building athlete. Thank god my eyes have been opened, before I turned disastrously to the horrible world of decaf.
