The mysterious Quote Number Four was from The Puppet Masters. Partial credit for people who guessed the wide variety of other movies that that line has been in. [Edited to add in the next two lines, which maybe make it a bit more distinct.] Puppet Masters was a pretty good Heinlein adaptation [though almost its only competition is the goriest episode of Beverly Hills 90210 I ever saw], but sticks in my memory mostly as the movie that inspired me to call Donald Sutherland 'the poor man's Sean Connery.'

Went over to Nathan's place and played DOOM [the boardgame] with him and Urchin. Quite fun, though [as expected] Nathan the invader managed to squash us poor little marines. [Stupid frickin' hellknights.] New car handles quite well in the snow/ice, though I didn't go out on the highway at all. Yay front-wheel drive.

Scratchy throat and sinus headaches. Probably cold/flu/what have you. Picked up some Tylenol sinus on the way home, and am now rather woozy. Goodnight Gracie.

You can probably find the DVD in the cheap bin at Wal-Mart or Best Buy. It's easily worth $6, though [of course] not as good as the book.

You must have better cheap bins there than around here--I rarely see better than 2/$20, occasionally 3/$25. :)

I'm always too tempted by those bins to poke around--I'd come away with 20 DVDs in hand and $200 less in my checking account. ;)
