No surprise on Of Gods and Men, winning the PTA race by a 3-to-1 margin. Amazed that G&J is holding quite this well.

Lot's of flopping around now that the actuals are in...Hall Pass skips to #1, while I Am Number Four slides up to #4...Drive Angry still stunk it up (glad I picked that up on my BK slates).
