So a couple of years ago I found this CD at the local Family
Christian Bookstore.
I called my musical expert the Tank and asked if he had
heard about this guys and he suggested I get it. I was not disappointed. Now I
own 3 of their albums and love them all. This is the single off of their newest
album The Fear Inside Our Bones
Wonder Woman
DC Comics is owned by Warner Brothers and I’ve always
wondered why they’ve been dragging their feet so much in getting their
superhero movies out there given how big the superhero movie craze has been the
last 10+ years. Since 2002 Marvel has released 20+ Superhero movies and now the
excellent Agents of Shield series. Next summer they are going to release a
Guardians of the Galaxy movie which will feature a Tree and a talking Racoon
and from the looks of things it will be excellent. Also, Kudos to you if you had ever actually
heard of Guardians of the Galaxy prior to the movie being mentioned. Extra
Kudos if can tell me the secret of Major Vance Astro without using google.
Yet despite all of this DC is still sitting on Wonder Woman
the most recognizable female superhero in the world.
I totally think this should happen Gina Torres would make an
excellent Wonder Woman. Just take a look
at her work in the Matrix Trilogy, Justice League Unlimited, and of course
Firefly to see how excellent should be in the role as the Amazon princess. However,
Rachel Nichols (Continuum) and Gina Carano (MMA) could potentially do the role
justice but none quite so well as Torres.
The Dark Knight Trilogy, Man of Steel and Arrow have given
me hope that they are finally on the right track in getting their universe to
the silver and small screens. I’ll even given them the benefit of the doubt on
the whole Bat-Fleck thing given that I (like everyone else) was completely
wrong on Heath Ledger as The Joker.
Day of the Doctor
I still hadn’t seen series 7 of Doctor Who as I am still
awaiting it to come to Netflix or someone I know buy it so I can borrow it.
Netflix is my best option since I know a grand total of 3 people in the area
that actually watch Doctor Who. However, if you happen to be #4 please let me
know. Since I don’t mind spoilers I already know what has happened up to this
point. I’m excited about the new Doctor. I think Capaldi will do well and I’ll
be curious concerning his take on the Doctor.

So, who exactly in the Doctor’s time stream is John Hurt?
The very 1st doctor? Unlikely. I think more likely is the theory
that he is the true 9th Doctor. The actual Doctor who fought in the
Time War and most likely the Doctor who had to make The Decision that ended it.
I would love to watch the simulcast of the 50th anniversary show
especially somewhere like Geeksboro. Hopefully I can make that work but seems
unlikely given it’s on Thanksgiving weekend.
Government Shutdown
As I type this the government shutdown is in full swing or
rather full stand as they watch the strikes go by. This line item exists solely
to publish these assorted funny pictures related to it. I hope this doesn’t
affect Agents of Shield.
Agents of Shield.
Joss Whedon has this ability to make entertainment that I
love, Firefly, Buffy, Avengers and now Agents of Shield. Clark Gregg as Agent
Colson is my favorite part of the show. They’ve done well with the cameos and
references to the Marvel Movie Universe. They’ve also
made a lot of very good self-referential jokes. It’s nice to see a show that
has a sense of humor about itself. So far two episodes in it seems like a nice
mix of the A-Team & Indiana Jones. How can you not love that?
Sportsball
While both of my football teams (NY Giants & UNC
Tarheels) are atrocious this year at least both of my baseball teams (Atlanta
Braves & Boston RedSox) have had fantastic seasons. Both of them are in the
post season and both have very good chances of making it to the World Series.
Maybe I can finally get that Boston/Atlanta World Series I have always wanted.
The one where I enjoy the games no matter who wins since I’m good with either
though I would prefer Atlanta since they’ve been longer without a World Series
win.Chop Chop!
I think that’s enough rambling for one day.
