Random Babblings

All kinds of nifty stuff on the ‘net today and I haven’t even been poking around for a full hour.

• Episode III has been reviewed already. I have to admit, even though the guy is only going from what we all expect to happen I reckon he’s pretty close on the details. I wouldn’t even count out the Jerry Springer thing after seeing the horrible sterotypes in the last couple of flicks (the Mel’s Diner thing in Ep II, the miserly Jew and greedy Japanese in Ep I).
• One of the best articles I’ve read yet on the atmosphere of slot machines. The dude hits it pretty much on the head. It’s part of the reason I enjoy going to Atlantic City – that’s more or less rock bottom. When you’re hanging out in the Plaza at 2 AM pumping quarters into the slots without even looking up, there’s really not anywhere else to fall. Makes me happy to be alive – for all my hassles at least I’m not those people.

More to come later I expect, I know I had something to say but I’m too tired to even think just now. Here’s hoping for a day with nothing to do but read.
