Carleen mentioned today how she feels bad that she’s “taking over” the blog. I have to admit my presence on this thing is not at a level I would like it to be, but to paraphrase Fiona Apple on this subject: Who wants to write when you’re happy? So I have a tendency to write only when bad things happen - the blog is my Bitchin’ Post.

So how ’bout I lighten up a little and just ramble? Went and saw Spider-Man 3 this weekend. I was sorely disappointed. Too much stuff! The entire Sandman plot was just pointless and unneeded. And it’s really too bad when the best acting in a movie goes to a black glob of CGI goo. I am excepting, of course, Ms. Bryce Dallas Howard. It was wonderful seeing her on screen again - she lit it up. She was, unfortunately, under-used. And let’s not forget to mention the now-famous Bruce Campbell cameo. This time he plays a French waiter - terrific! Is it just me or is Tobey Macguire getting smaller each time he plays Spidey?

I’ve been watching a neat little television show that Cindy burned for me called Spaced. It’s done by the same people who brought you Shaun of the Dead and Hot Fuzz. I won’t say that it’s a great show, but on a scale from 1 to Awesome, it comes in at Really Good. It’s got a quirky, very British, sense of humor that I just adore and Simon Pegg is great in any role I see him in.
