The coming up calendar.

I return to work part time, on May 4th. The coming two weeks will see me having one last mad dash of fun before I get back into it.
This weekend I’ll be in Madison, Wi Friday-Sunday for Oddcon. Every one of these trips I make now knowing I probably won’t be returning to these towns for a long long time, since we are moving back east this fall. It’s kind of sad, but not heartbreaking.
Then next week, I’m hitting the Picador Wed the 29th for Mc Chris yes, of Aqua Teen Fame. Then on Thursday the 30th I’ll be in Chicago for a special advance preview of Star Trek! Sure it’s just a week early, but if you know me, then you know how awesome it is. Friday May 1st, the first summer movie comes out in Wolverine and I wonder how seeing Star Trek first will affect my opinion of Logan and his mutant co. On Saturday It will be a morning decision between driving to Demicon for one day, or staying in town and hitting Daydreams for Free Comic Book Day!
I love my life.

The Wackness.

Yesterday I watched the Mummy Curse of the Dragon Emperor. That movie is awful. It feels like every shallow attempt to make a summer blockbuster crammed into one. Jet Li’s Mummy form is kind of cool, but otherwise I couldn’t believe how bad the script was. On the other hand the Wackness has one of the best scripts i’ve seen on screen in a while. It doesn’t hurt that we have reached the point where they are telling stories about my High School years with the time it takes to reflect those times properly. I love the soundtrack, and Ben Kingsley is great as usual, but I wonder how he ends up in these roles. One of the better movies I’ve seen lately!

Creepy Robot

I keep bumping into creepy news stories about robots and then this robot ‘baby’ in Japan. it’s two years old. The creepy thing is, even though it hasn’t evolved too far, it is learning things like walking that it is programming itself for. Laugh away science boys. Your baby robot will remember.
