    I’m Scotland-bound later today for an Easter break. They have bird-flu there. Great.

    Just been to see Grizzly Man. It’s fantastic. For those who haven’t heard about it, it’s a documentary cut by Werner Herzog, using footage shot by Timothy Treadwell on his summers living among Grizzly Bears in Alaska.
