I would be so conflicted about watching the movie adaptation of Odd Thomas.  Because the book was brilliantly written.  In secondary school, that's how I wrote.  I mean I didn't write brilliantly, but I felt then that stories should always be about a single point of time.  No long and drawn-out mush.  I think I was darker then and I felt that the scarcity of words to describe anything made you a better writer.  Anyways, back to Odd Thomas.  I love the book, the series.  And sure, I want to watch it come alive.  But I am pretty sure that Hollywood would probably mess it up by not getting the darkness of the story right.  Odd Thomas, for all his deadpan story-telling ways, has led a life of darkness.  And if they don't do it right....I'll be very upset.

Yeah, I'm back.  From Spain and Portugal. 

Here's a picture that doesn't tell anything:
