You Sunk My Battleship

We cancelled rehearsal tonight because of the snow. I am trying to quiet the control fiends inside me by assuring them that there was nothing I could do to control the weather, and that really--everything will be fine.

With a newly acquired evening I was finally able to watch MASTER AND COMMANDER which is actually extremely relevant to AFTER DARWIN as it is about ship life in about the right era and they some spend time on the Galapagos Islands.

In fact, when all is said and done, they use the principles of Natural Selection to defeat the French battleship.

I was also quite taken with Paul Bettany. I mean, he operates on himself. It's pretty sexy.
