A day for different stuff.
I have not indulged my obsession with science-fiction and fantasy here. Well, not much. Lately. Regardless, there were two headlines that caught my attention this morning from the SciFi Channel website.
First, J. K. Rowling will be starting the final installment of her Harry Potter series in January. There’s no completion date or publication date mentioned, but they’d better hurry or the three actors who play the leads in the movies will be too old! Daniel Radcliffe’s voice has already started to change, for pity’s sake! And, don’t even get me started on Emma Watson. (Did you know there are wackos out there who have a countdown until she turns eighteen? Oh, I’m so glad I’m not her father.)
The second headline that caught me was about a show that hasn’t aired yet, called The Book of Daniel. It’s about an Episcopal priest that has a drug problem, who’s married to an alchoholic, and has conversations with Christ wherein he apparently sees Jesus and hears His response. Okay, I get why this is a headline and all, but, uh, on the SciFi Channel website? Anyway, after reading the article, I may have to look out for the show when it hits TV next month. Sounds like my kind of show.
So, there you have it. These are the things I think about first thing in the morning and queue to post late in the afternoon.

So, I’m Spiderman…

Nice to know that boozy Tony Stark (aka Iron Man) came in number two since he’s a millionaire. Cool. (Though the fact that he tied with Catwoman does detract from the warm fuzzy feeling.) Though, if Doctor Strange were an option, I’m sure I’d have tested out as him. And, yes, this is a much better topic than what was running through my head this evening when I got home from getting groceries. I wonder if Doctor Strange has to worry about groceries….
