Beth has mononucleosis. I'm not worried about getting it so much as I'm worried about her recovery. She could hardly pick up her hair dryer this morning. Scary.

Speaking of scary... Panic Room looks pretty intense. But it leaves me with one real question -- why is Dwight Yoakam trying to get Jodie Foster?

I just heard the Gate on some MTV show. Rock. Should have called Thux, but I think they're in Minnesota right now.

Go placidly amid the noise and haste, and remember what peace there may be in silence...
