Day 27

From lowbrow to highbrow

- I did a commando-operation download of the Survivor All-Stars Premiere this afternoon because I couldn't wait to get back to Duke to watch it. I've abstained from Survivor for several seasons now, but getting to see some of the season 1 and 2 folks again is definitely a big incentive for following this one.

- And then watched (for the first time) The Mission (Robert deNiro, Jeremy Irons). It was very skilfully filmed and not so bogged down with details as the book. Thus, the story was more sparse, but the overall effect more powerful. I don't seem to recall the book ending the way the movie did, but perhaps my memory is faulty. Can anyone confirm that?
