Better

So happy to report - back is feeling pretty much normal. Makes me really appreciate that most days, I am not in pain and can walk and do every-day tasks without any problems.

We had a pretty relaxing weekend. The older kids (+ E's friend) and I re-watched Dune I. E is planning to go to a movie theater with buddies to watch Dune II this Friday. I am hoping to go see it soon-ish. Oh boy, I really hope Mr. Villeneuve goes on to make "Rendezvous with Rama" - his style suits that book perfectly!

E asked me if Dune was my favorite sci-fi movie of all times.

I would have to say - no... I don't know what my favorite movie (science fiction or otherwise) would be... depends on the mood, I suppose. There are  movies that made an enormous impression on me and influenced how I perceive and interpret reality, as well as fiction. But I suspect it had to do with timing (and how old I was when I watched them) as much as with the quality and the themes of the movies. 

You know what I wish would get made into movies or a TV show? Neal Stephenson's "Seveneves".

Is there a science fiction book that you would love to see adapted for screen?
