Ewan and Eve (and The Belt) out and about in Washington, DC. It's lovely to see them looking so happy.
Ewan McGregor, the Scottish star of “Star Wars,” “Moulin Rouge” and “Trainspotting,” said he thoroughly enjoyed the dinner — especially being in the same room as Obama.
"It was quite magical. I felt the hairs on my neck stand up," McGregor said.
McGregor and his wife didn't get to meet the president, but they vowed to return to Washington in the near future to tour the West Wing. (They did drive around to do a little night tour, seeing all the monuments lit up, they told POLITICO.) More info here (including the identities of those other people).
Ewan is scheduled to appear on the following talk shows:
Late Show With David Letterman, February 17 Live With Regis and Kelly, February 19 The Ellen DeGeneres Show, February 23 (so says my TiVo)

In the last couple of days I've finished one book, Under The Dome by Stephen King, and started another, My Sister's Keeper by Jodi Picoult. I've found typos in both of them. What's up with that?! There was a sentence in Under The Dome which had clearly been reworded, but the unnecessary words were left in, so basically the sentence was gobbledygook. There were also at least two instances of words left out, which was the case with My Sister's Keeper a few minutes ago. Where are the editors and proofreaders? Sheesh.
