I saw "Legend" just today while I was out with my dad. Not Oscar-worthy or anything, but a pretty good movie nonetheless. As for Matheson's original novella I have it here at home on my bookshelf. A great read and I highly recommend it, along with "No Country For Old Men", by Cormac McCarthy, if you want another awesome book that was made into a good movie.

As for a hand-written journal, I have one, but it takes a backseat to its electronic brother. I guess when I can't use the laptop anymore I'll have to dust it off!
