There's a new Jon
Carroll cat column. Also, a friend alerted me to cat
hair jewelry.

Daniel Dern notes a British
list of sci-fi movies, which includes at least one that's
already opened (and closed) here, but is still an interesting look
ahead for the most part. Also, he found more proof of how much fun
reviewers have when doing a really
nasty review. This is the first time this reviewer has given
a restaurant no stars and a "poor" rating.
