I’m not in a particularly good mood today and the weather (hot, muggy, stagnant) isn’t helping. Neither is this:

I was kind of excited about this movie, because last year, a few weeks before I saw the first trailer for this movie, I’d read Umberto Eco’s Baudolino, and Hypatia features rather, erm, heavily, in parts. But, oh well!
