The most important things today is obvious! It's my mom's birthday!!! I don't think she sees this...but if you found it, Happy Birthday Mom! Love you!! (I called her at 12:16am.) If you haven't met my mom she is, by far, the best mother I could have ever asked for.
The other big thing today, of course, is Game 2 of the NLDS with the "upstart Reds" taking on the "Best baseball team around", the Phillies! I'm excited to see what the Reds do to the Phils tonight. I am calling for a 2-run first. BP will get a double, OCab bunts down the third base line to move him over, Votto Sac Fly, Rolen cranks one out. Let's see how that works out for me! :-)
Anyway...I've kept my mind mostly OFF the Reds today to not get excitement built up to the point where I explode...so let's move on to other topics.
Batman 3 rumor of the week: Killer Croc as the main villian. I'm not a fan. Partially because Nolan has said he won't use unrealistic villains, and that sums up Croc. Second, because I want to see a story where Harley Quinn, The Riddle, and Hush are the Big Bads.* It would make for a great movie, IMHO.
Green Lantern is getting an animated series in addition to his movie. Add that to the new Young Justice 'toon, and DC is continuing it's excellence in animation.
In other DC Comics news, they are changing the price of comics...they are dropping them by a dollar! Exciting to have some of my books be a bit cheaper. Thanks to the big DC for that! I'd tell Marvel to take a hint...if I bought more than 2 books from them. (Iron Man and Iron Man: Legacy, in case you were wondering)
I have a mad love for the Harry Potter books, and this is one of the most amazing things I've ever seen! No wonder they were so good. A lot of writers should take note!
Speaking of, since maybe 3 people will read this, I am STILL working on getting through The Tommyknockers in my Stephen King read through. It's getting better, though! It's not bad...it just hasn't made me care.
Civilization V has been amazing so far, and has distracted me well from almost anything else. It's pretty much permanently up on my computer in case I get time for a turn. Speaking of which....

...and I'm back!
I LOVE Smallville and am enjoying the final season....but the plot for the new Superman movie looks horrible. If that is the plot, I don't think I will watch....ok, maybe not the first week or two...Why can't movies get Superman right? It is an EASY formula...a monkey could write a better plot outline. I know I have 20 in my head that would be better.
I may watch this after how amazing BSG was.
Not quite as confident about this, however. Unless Dave Coleman is involved, I'm probably out.
This could be hilarious, though!
I think Grilled Cheesus was possibly the best episode yet of Glee.
This has promise also. And...something moderately new.
I hope Haven is picked up for a second season.
That's a lot for today, so, moving on, time for another turn...
*Thank you, Joss Whedon, for bringing the Big Bads to us!
Happy Birthday to your mom!!
ReplyDeleteJust heard that she shares her birthday with the one the only TRACY JONES, He played baseball after all!
