Bunker Archaeology

movies: Constantine -- comic book adaptation... not having read the comics and worrying about universe-Canon , I can say that the movie was pretty good.

books: Children of Men by P.D. James -- The movie is better. In dubious Battle -- depressing but very good Steinbeck. Makes you wish WWII had never happened so that the Great Depression would have inexorably sparked a socialist revolution in this country.
Pleasure of Ruins by Rose Macaulay -- Great exploration of ruins around the world.

The site was down for a week as I was switching web hosts. Took longer than expected to get it mostly sorted. The Drupal installation is pretty easy to switch to a new host but there may still be a few bugs to work out...

Dreamhost has these crazy rebates... up to $97 off for a year's hosting plan. And gigs of space and bandwith.

We'll see in the next year if the saving in price is worth the level of service. At this point in the game it seems that all web hosting services are pretty much the same.

movies: Pan's Labyrinth, The Producers.

books:
Time Traveler's Wife, by Audrey Niffenegger: weird romance with a time-travel complication. Kind of depressing.
Golden Compass, by Philip Pullman: Steampunk with familiars/daemons. Like the daemon idea of human/animal friendship but the plot could be better. Nice to see some new steampunk fiction.
Fatherland, by Robert Harris: Nazis win WWII in Europe and seek detente with USA. Detective story set in Germany. Very well researched especially architectural details.
