I have decided I want to Return to the Thon next year. It's probably been ten years, but it is still the best thing to do in the middle of Darkest February, and I miss it. I don't have a bucket list -- I have a "resume in the coming year" list.

There's at least one shlocky 50s movie where there's a woman scientist and the local sheriff's daughter and I bet they talk about something besides the dudes -- but I can't remember if it's the one with the giant ants or the incredibly lame one where the space "monster" is something that teaches sand to become giant crystals that rise up and fall over on things. I'm sure Garen would know.
