It’s been overcast all day, but the sky just turned a pretty scary black. Like close-all-the-windows-and-cower-in-the-bathroom kind of black. Thunderstorms used to completely terrify me when I was a kid. Remember how some local television stations used to put a little “W” in the corner of the screen when there was a severe weather watch for the area? I would freak whenever that popped up on the screen. But like most kids, I outgrew my fears and the only concern running through my head is weather I should be concerned about a power surge. For the last year or two years, I’ve been telling myself that I need to get a UPS for my computer and I still haven’t gotten around to it. I would be so screwed if something happened to my system. I’ve backed up a few things, but a crash would still be disastrous. Buh-bye mp3 collection. Buh bye to all the stuff I’ve written over the last nine years or so. I should invest in a DVD burner, back up the mission critical stuff, and quit tempting the fates.
The trailer for Michael Moore’s Fahrenheit 9/11 is out. I will almost definitely see it on opening weekend. The scene at the end of the trailer is absolutely classic. It sums up Bush’s style of governing in ten seconds. Watch it for yourself and see if you agree.
And by the way, Mr. Ray Bradbury, you need to take a chill pill. Did nobody tell you there’s no copyright on book titles? Jeez, when did one of my favorite writers turn into an old coot?
