-We have clearance, Clarence. -Roger, Roger. -What's our vector, Victor?

Note to Pop-Pop: It's Airplane!, of course, which is quite possibly the funniest non-Python movie ever made. Not to mention the first movie I saw with the upper half of the female anatomy bouncing freely, albeit for only half a second.
"You ever been in a cockpit before, Johnny?"
"No sir, I've never been up in a plane before."
"You ever seen a grown man naked?"
Truly classic. But moving on....

So it has been a pretty good long while since I rambled on around these parts. School ended for the semester, and four hours later I was jetting my way up to Jersey country for four days with Mom and family. I got back and immediately started my Maymester class, which runs every day from 9:00 until 12:30 or so, which leaves me little time to do homework and everything else that goes into making up my day before work at 5:00. So, to quote another movie, I'M BUSY! (I know dad will get that one, but anyone else? Anyone? Bueller?)

I appreciate the continued interest in my thoughts despite the lack of return, lately. I'll get better...Maymester ends next week and it doesn't look like I'll be taking any other classes this summer. Plently of time to save up money (something I lack pretty dramatically right now) and do some blogging and hopefully even work on a few stories or continue the famed "Pizza Chronicles."

Recent Observations:

--Star Wars Episode III was worth the wait. The saga is complete and Lucas actually managed to make a truly great movie for the first time since 1980. He also managed to equal the emotional punch of Luke discovering that Vader is his father (in Empire) with the scene in which Obi-Wan defeats Anakin... (Obi-Wan crying and almost screaming in agony to Anakin) "You were the chosen one! You were supposed to bring balance to the force!" Such a great moment, especially considering he had just chopped off one of his arms and both of his legs.

--Every couple of weeks on the news they announce the average price of gas across this great country of ours. The Lundberg Survey, or some such thing. Apparently, they survey 7500 gas stations across the nation to determine the average. The following thought occured to me after hearing this fact on the news the other night: When polling human beings, an organization need only talk to 1100 or so people to acheive what is apparaently a reasonable level of accuracy. This suggests a rather startling truth, which I don't think I have to dictate here. Let's just say that it seems that gas stations are more thoughtfull diverse than we are.

--The Braves need a new closer. Real bad.

--I have class in less than five hours.

That's all for now. I'll be back here more often from now on, I promise.

Goodnight all.
