Star Wars: Episode III
Revenge of a Failing Prequel Trilogy
I finally got to see Revenge of the Sith last night. Admittedly it was better than the last two, which is not much of a stretch. All in all not a terrible movie, but sadly we all seemed to laugh the loudest at what were supposed to be the most serious moments. It still could not compare to any of the first three.

Fans of the show Futurama may be familiar with the methods used by Zapp Brannigan of d.o.o.p. (Democratic Order of Planets founded in 2945 whose headquarters were moved to Weehawken, New New Jersey, after a brief stint in a space station orbiting the Neutral Planet) to handle the Series Seven Killbots.

Waiting for the Bus
Line? What line?
I cannot figure out why folks in Hoboken have such a hard time with the concept of waiting on a line. No matter what time of the day, or which stop we're at, folks here all stand around in a large blob waiting for the bus.

Love & Let Die
Death is inevitable, so smile, smile, smile
Recently I’ve been thinking that I want to meet a woman, fall in love and then die. OK that sounds morbid if taken too literally. Seriously though how great is it to hear of people who met that perfect (or even imperfect) partner and grew old together?

The Song (um…Scream) of the Cicada
How are things so small so loud?
I am amazed by the insane volume of cicadas screaming outside my window lately. I didn't think there were enough trees to attract all of them to Hoboken. Behind my house, in front too. Even walking down the street! It's crazy!
