Sunday

Not a lot happening this Sunday. Just a couple of links:

Mark Evanier, with a couple of thoughts on Blazing Saddles, including attending a screening with Mel Brooks in attendance.... (Blazing Saddles is one of the absolute best, and one of my personal top 5 favorites).

Bill McCabe went to a geekfest this weekend. I always enjoy the folks who are dedicated enough to a movie to emulate it in their dress. (Note: enjoy is not the same thing as admire, or even agree with).

But in the abstract sense, I'd like to see a few folks in Jedi robes walking around in every day society. Just for kicks.

I'm going to the Atlanta Comicon in April. Not nearly as big as DragonCon, which is the biggie in Atlanta. But you make up for the relative lack of media guests and some of the sideshows by having a lower number of nerds and geeks who lack even the simplest social skills (washing daily....not picking their nose while they talk to you....not walking in front of you when you're looking at something.)

But it's cool just to go and hang out with friends. The Braves are in town, too....might just make a cool weekend out of it.

And can I just say: March Madness...Pfah.

This basketball shit's getting old, and in a hurry. Baseball season's, like, a week away. And it's about friggin' time.
