• Between Books (Claymont DE) now has 10 copies of SHIMMER. Tonight, I'll be watching Being Human (BBC A) and Infestation (SF), might be good. #
• @amy_grech If you hear it's been resolved, let me know. I'll do likewise. in reply to amy_grech #
• Watching the Phillies vs. Marlins… so is a case of "dropsy" contagious? #
• Infestation was one of the most enjoyable SF channel movies I've seen. Gotta give 'em props for that. Ray "Reaper" Wise was fun. #
