It snowed sometime overnight, which I have to say, I find wholly unacceptable, having only just<\/i> become accustomed to having things like grass and roads and such back. But there wasn’t too much, and there’s not a whole lot I can do about it. Our dog certainly seemed to love it.<\/p>\n

In other news, I spent the day reading again, interspersed with a little television here and there. Since Friday, I’ve read about seven different graphic novels, of varying quality and subject matter, culminating today with Marjane Satrapi’s Persepolis 2<\/i> and Rutu Modan’s Exit Wounds<\/i>. I think the former was a lot better, and having read it means I can now safely watch the movie version of Persepolis<\/i> without threat of spoiler.<\/p>\n

Last night, I watched The Town<\/a>, the Ben Affleck-directed (and starring) crime thriller. It was very good. Stars Affleck and Jeremy Renner turn in good performances; Jon Hamm is really quite good; and Blake Lively, though she’s not in the film a whole lot, steals the show whenever she is. (I’m never seen an episode of Gossip Girl<\/i>, so I wasn’t familiar with her before this.) It’s not a great<\/i> movie, though it occasionally reaches towards greatness, and it’s quite an entertaining picture. And, if nothing else, it’s a better showcase for the late Pete Postlethwaite than the dreck that was Clash of the Titans<\/i>.<\/p>\n
