• I spent most of Monday either waiting in an airport concourse or cramped into a tiny seat on an airplane. The rest of it was eating dinner with my mom and dad and his brothers, and sitting in bed being generally insomniacal, watching cable TV.

  I don't have cable so all this stuff is candy to me. The most interesting thing I saw last night was on Cartoon Network's Adult Swim block, 'Reign: The Conqueror.' It's an anime version of the story of Alexander the Great, but it's set in ancient Mesopotamia in the same way that Fellini's 'Satyricon' is set in ancient Rome. Which is to say, it isn't. I'm a big fan of 'Satyricon,' and now I'm a fan of 'Reign,' even though they could have thought up a better title.
