 Just got through an unpleasant move and getting settled in my new apartment!

I'm reading Paper Love by Sarah Wildman. This is a nonfiction book about a woman whose grandfather escaped the holocaust, and after his death found out he'd left behind a girlfriend who may or may not have survived. This kind of personal family history is one of my favorite types of history.

I'm re-reading Patricia McKillip's Riddlemaster trilogy (called Riddle of Stars in the printing I own). Out loud. Because it is the kind of book I just love to read out loud.

I watched the X-Men '97, and started the animated series it is a sequel to. I'm in the first episode of the animated series and not impressed yet. I do like the decision to make Jubilee our viewpoint character, but I thought the sentinel running around destroying everything was over the top. I'm hoping I'll enjoy the series more as it finds its feet.

So I finally got around to watching X-Men: The Last Stand. It's not a great movie, and I was pretty well-spoiled, so not much to write home about. But I did have thoughts on the Rogue/Bobby/Kitty love triangle.

Which is this: If Rogue thinks the cure is going to save her relationship with Bobby, she's mistaken. Bobby's sort of flirtation with Kitty doesn't come across as a reaction to not being able to touch Rogue. It comes across was Bobby wanting two girlfriends, and not being particular concerned about how Rogue feels about that. That's not going to change just because he can touch Rogue now. Rogue has lots of legitimate reasons for taking the cure, but I don't think it will make Bobby a better boyfriend.

I've never liked the traditional love triangle, the triangle where a man or woman is torn between two opposite-gender romantic candidates. This triangle is a simple question: Which man/woman will our hero/heroine choose?
