If you’re looking for 30 minutes of amusement but have two hours to spend, Walk Hard: The Dewey Cox Story may be just the movie for you. I’d give it the arguably-generous rating of 6/10 only because when Walk Hard is on, it can be brilliant. An early Sun Records parody sticks out in particular, but it’s a high bar the movie only reaches a few more times over its, uh, 120 minutes.

Number of sections consumed: 2 (out of 9)

Articles worthy of passing along:

• Turkish Schools Offer Pakistan a Gentler Vision of Islam
• Dressed for a Meeting, Ready for Mayhem - The intricacies of wearing a suit to conceal guns, radios and other fun items.
• Frank Rich: The All-White Elephant in the Room - How Democrats, and Obama in particular, get ripped on for the actions of their preachers, while Republicans get a free pass even though their preachers rate just as high on the wacko factor.

I guess the main thing I have to say about the weekend is this: When you spill over six ounces of lemonade on your $2800 laptop, your plans can change rather dramatically.

After a few bluescreens and other unpleasantness, my ThinkPad is more or less running again. Despite a rather thorough cleaning, some of the keys have a weird click to them now, and my LAN connection appears to be toast. More ominously, though, the computer no longer will wake up after I put it in sleep mode. Instead, it requires a reboot.

I see laptop repair expenses in my future. In retrospect, I’m kind of wishing I’d spent the money for the accidental damage protection.
