I seem to have this problem...

I keep on having things I want to tell people but they slip right out of my head. It can't be a good thing. There was going to be something I was going to write here this morning but I've forgotten that too.

There were slugs on my walk into work. That was odd.

Oh! I remember now. It's amazing how many people comment on the book I'm currently reading. It's called "The Battle of Salamis" by Barry Strauss. It is the Athenian naval battle to accompany the Spartan land battle at Thermopylae during the same war. The Greeks had some amazing luck. It is also one of the few recorded battles in history where one of the admirals was a woman.

People seem to think that I have to be reading this for a class or something. I've had people look at me strangely or call me an 'intellectual' for reading this sorts of stuff for fun. I am really enjoying the book. Not only is it well written but it is written in an easily accessable tone and manner.

Anyway... I remembered. Go me.

Whoa... What the hell was that?

I was just sitting here typing and blood started pouring down my face.

I haven't had a bloody nose in years and that was... kind of scary.

I feel kind of weird now.

AUGH!

It is looking less and less like there will be a hockey season.

I'm going through withdrawl /now/.

A whole year?

Man. It's time to seriously look into Thunderbirds tickets.

Entertainment-y things...

So.. It looks like Joss' campaining for X3 has paid off. Right now he is the favorite to get the movie since they're still looking for a 2005 or 206 release date. Nothing official has been announced but the rumors are coming from the right places.

Mark Hamill had some interesting things to say about Episodes 7, 8 and 9. Essentially there /is/ a Star Wars TV show coming and that Lucas asked him a long time ago if he wanted to be an Obi-Wan sort of figure in Episode 9. Apparently he says he wouldn't mind.

Smallville looks to be interesting this season. We get Lois Lane and the woman who played Lois Lane (Margot Kidder) in the movies. We're really hitting up the mythology pretty hard here. It's still fun. So far.

Ocean's 12 is getting some unhappy reviews from prescreening. We'll see.

Aquaman is supposed to be a funnier sort of movie... I'm still not sure why we're going to whole Aquaman and Namor route right now. I like the characters, I do but I think there are better places to go. We've barely touched the surface, here.

The House of Flying Daggers is showing at the Toronto Film Festival. When I hear how it has gone over, I'll let you know. I'm hoping this one gets released widely much faster than Hero did.

Nathan Fillion is doing a JLU voice later this season.

I think that is it for the moment.
