“It matters not who you love …”

Bring it on, terrifying celestial portent.

I ain’t afraid of you.

Note the presence of my regular nerd glasses underneath my eclipse glasses.  The reasons for that are somewhat complicated; just move along.

My friends are talking about the Greek classics.

I know there’s a pun to be found here somewhere, but so far Odyssey it.



Oh, c’mon.  This joke was a Homer run.

I’m probably being a mother hen.

I do that a lot.  I’m pretty sure it’s gotten worse after I hit 50.

But PLEASE do not look at the eclipse at ALL Monday without eclipse glasses.  You really can go blind like that.

An earthquake and an eclipse within four days of each other?

I hope Demi Moore’s unborn child is okay.

(And I feel so hollow about it.)

My brain: concentrate on the task in front of you.

Also my brain:

My horse-fake brings all of Troy to the yard.
That’s right — its belly holds swords!
That’s right — its belly holds swords!
Gonna teach them — with a Graecian charge!

Throwback Thursday: “Enemy Mine” (1985)!

Louis Gossett Jr. passed away last week at the age of 87.  While everyone else is remembering him for “An Officer and A Gentleman” (1982), we 80’s sci-fi kids are remembering him for 1985’s “Enemy Mine.”

I am linking here to Vintage Movie Trailers on Youtube, by the way.
