Random Thursday Stuff
There’s no clear agenda today, just a variety of things I
thought I’d briefly touch on. So now I’m
going to touch on them. Briefly.
It’s F-IN’ HOT. But
you already know that, because apparently the entire country is either on fire
or dying from heatstroke. Fun!
I
was going to do either a What If Wednesday or a Star Trek
Review for the 4th of July.
Obviously neither of those two things happened. There’s no real reason for that, other than
laziness on my part, but I will point out that I don’t have air conditioning in
my house, so, you know, its 88 degrees there.
Just saying. Excuse me for not
getting much done.
HOLY SHIT HIGGS BOSON! I was in the car with my mother when
I first heard that it was official, and I freaked right the hell out. So awesome.
And then my freak out made her freak out because she didn’t realize it
was an “Awesome Science Freak Out” not a “’Oh shit you hit that child!’ Freak
Out”. Oh, mother. Weren’t you paying attention? I don’t care about the lives of grubby little
children, there’s SCIENCE to be done!
HEALTHCARE MANDATE IS A TAX, SAYS ROMNEY. No duh.
So was his. It was always a tax,
Democrats just knew that admitting that was bad optics. And Romney knows that too. Sigh.
AMAZING SPIDER-MAN DIDN’T SUCK, HOORAY! I was pleasantly surprised to enjoy it, I had
all kinds of bad feelings about it going in.
I’m not 100% in agreement with Chris Sims, but hey, I’m too lazy to
write my own review of the film, so there it is, then.
WOLVERINE, CYCLOPS, AND HOW THE X-MEN GOT HERE/JEAN GREY
SHOULDN’T COME BACK- This article got me thinking about this last night, and
although I disagree, her first point really got me thinking about the current
status of the merry mutants. I haven’t
reliably read any X-books since the end of the Morrison era (Magneto is a bad
guy, you guys), but I think it’s fascinating to think how much Cyclops has
changed over the last ten years. You
know, character development! Which is
why I disagree with her final assessment- I DON’T want a return to earlier
status quo, and I’m actually kind of interested to see how this new X-book where
the teenage original X-Men time travel to the present and learn their futures turns
out. Because Cyclops has done a total
180. When even Magneto is siding with
Cyclops, I think his younger self is going to freak out a little.
Anyway. Just thought
I’d pop in for a few random thoughts.
Carry on.
