missizzyThe shuttle buses seem to have given up going up Duke Street instead of King. Although now it seems their clocks have started displaying the wrong times; both my buses did yesterday. In the morning, it claimed to be past 11, which actually wasn't as bad as the evening, when it was only a little more than an hour ahead, and I would look at the front of the bus and momentarily freak out that it was nearly 6:30, before remembering.
Ended up seeing Tolkien on Sunday. It was mostly a romanticized telling on the stories that are commonly told about Tolkien, with his making his three schoolfriends and losing two of them to the war and his love story with Edith, whom the movie tried to give her own thoughts and dreams, but glossed over how marrying him led to her having to give the latter up. It also illustrated Mordor and its shadows having been directly inspired by the battle fields of the Western Front, and that part was very well done.
