- Isaac’s certainly not moving very quickly. Hoping and praying for as little destruction as possible on the Gulf.
- Football today! There are games five days in a row to start the season!
- The Dark Knight Rises is not a terrible movie—it expectedly excels in sets and effects, for example—but neither is it a great one. There are routine sins, like a plot hole you could fly the “Bat” aircraft through, and a little-too-obvious Subaru product placement. But the main one is what, to me, sinks more promising present-day movies than any other: excessive length. It checks in at 2:45, and should have been at least two films. Here is solid proof that Christopher Nolan can disappoint. 5/10
- After extricating myself from the blast radius of some mediocre storytelling earlier this week, I thought of a couple of stories I told when I was in college that play rather poorly in my memory. I didn’t think I was bad at it then. I hope I’m not way worse at it than I think I am now.
- I have a couple of access ramps in my commute that are long, smooth, and gentle, and I’m not afraid of law enforcement on them, so if there’s no traffic I sometimes just go as fast as I can. Had the Technical Writing Express up to 93 mph yesterday. What a daredevil!
- You know, I don’t really care, but I keep a little bit of a soft spot for Lindsay Lohan. I wish she’d figure out how to only get in the news for movies for a couple of years in a row.
- Finished the Disney dining reservations. That was the last bit of stress, I think. Now to the “gazing with childlike wonder” part!
~*~*~*It’s the most wonderful time of the year~*~*~*~
I’ve missed college football SO MUCH!
Me too! Merry College Footballmas!
