The bunny hutch needs cleaning...

...and I was DROWNED in real-work (job-type) work today. Woe! *staples wrist to forehead*

Went to see The Da Vinci Code with quantum_witch and her hubby yesterday out in Norridge (yay for suburban excursions still within the CTA's reach!). Good time!

My expectations for the flick were fairly low - I'm one of the 26 people on the planet who frankly hasn't even cracked open the book. (Though I have read Holy Blood, Holy Grail, so I kind of knew the gist.) I found it a very enjoyable history/conspiracy thriller-ish thing as a movie, though, and anything can be made fun to watch by Ian McKellen playing fifteen different kinds of sly and crazy.

It didn't bunny me, thankfully. However, the History Channel thing on "The Spear of Jesus" did. Ah, shades of ol' Trevor Ravenscroft, the conspiracy theorist with the Rowlingesque name. (It's a Horcrux, I'll betcha).

Have a GO historical crack drabble, on the house:

Title: The Spin of Destiny
Words: 100, excluding title and dateline.
Rating: G
Warnings: The worst fashion incident of Aziraphale's existence, which is saying something.
AN: This uses the first line of this week's go100 challenge, though not any of the words, so it's not actually eligible.
