I saw on the news the other day that one of our favorite restaurants in JP, El Oriental de Cuba, was firebombed with a Malotov cocktail. That sucks. The food there was so good, and so cheap, I have no idea why someone would firebomb it. I hope they catch whoever did it and force him to eat bland prison food for the rest of his life.

Ann and I both read the new Harry Potter this weekend. We each read 3 chapters at a time, although there were definitely times when we wanted to keep going. It was great and very sad and leaves many unanswered questions for the final book, which probably won't come out for at least 2 or 3 years. I won't discuss anything here, in case some of you are still planning on reading it, but if you want to chat about it, post in the comments.

There was a Garbage Pail Kids Movie?!? Why didn't anyone tell me?

This would be funny if it wasn't true:
