Little betta man's name is currently up for vote on FB: Skinner or Frohike. So far, Frohike is winning 2-0.
90% of the time I'm a book-before-movie person. Sometimes, however, you need the movie to appreciate and/or get the book. Latest case in point is Our Mutual Friend. I tried to read it a few years back, and gave up 90 pages in. Dickens loves to have a million characters in each novel, at least in three of the 4 stories I know. After finally watching the OMF miniseries, I'm hopping all arouund the book. The books I've been reading for 4 years now were written before movies existed, so they weren't written with screen aspirations. I'm able to go back and read the details even a 6-hour movie can't completely convey. What John sees in Bella, how Gaffer died, and the feelings behind Lizzie's facial expressions make sense now.

The clean floor seriously makes my evening. I keep looking over at it. Now, I must go check the name votes.
