Hey, everyone. Glad to be back with you tonight and thanks for reading the blog.
The good news is this: Baggage starts their new season of TV shows on June 6th. I'll look forward to that.
The Memorial Day weekend is zooming in fast. I haven't checked the movies that are opening but I do know that The Hangover 2 premiers. The first one was really funny but a bit crude in places, even for me. I was hoping for a blockbuster film this weekend but usually there are two weeks, at least, between the big films. I know that X-Men, First Class comes out a week from today, Friday. I'm looking forward to that and to Green Lantern, which comes out a couple of weeks after X-Men. When we were kids, reading these comics, who among us would have believed they'd go mainstream and be the subject of flicks that cost 150 million dollars to make? It looks like the guy playing Hal Jordan, (Green Lantern) is going to do a great job and be funny.
Which of us did not dream of getting our hands on a secret power or two? I remember a guy that thought he had super powers because he could make his eyes cross. Not many super bad guys would cringe in fear before that incredible ability. Well, perhaps a optometrist.
The other day I was eating lunch and I was about to play a song on my I-Pad. As my finger approached a song listing and tapped it, I had a mental vision. I saw my fingers, holding the needle arm of my old record player and I was carefully setting it down on an old 33 and a third. Then I touched my I-Pad and immediately the song began to play with no scratching or noise. It was beautiful and clear. All things concerning the good old days were not so good.
I noticed that Wilbur Smith has a new novel out. I downloaded the sample tonight. In my opinion, Wilbur is one of the top authors of all time. In fact, I plan on doing a book review of his excellent novel The Eye Of The Tiger, in the very near future. But has he invited me to Africa for a guided tour? Noooooo. If you haven't read it, you should read his series of books about ancient Egypt and the magician named Taita. They are most entertaining. It's a toss-up whether one would call these novels science fiction, fantasy or historic fiction but they are terrific. The first in the series is called River God. Don't allow yourself to be cheated out of reading these 4 novels. I think I just talked myself into re-reading them.
Do you guys ever re-read books? I often do. There are some Zane Grey books that I have read 15 times. I can say the same for several of the books by Edgar Rice Burroughs. Even my own books, I have read multiple times.
Well, its time for all good little boys to be in bed. I guess I can go to bed too. So I'll bid you pleasant dreams, from the author's green retreat.
I'm CE Wills.
P.S. Please note that I have added Touch Arcade to my list of favorite sites. These folks are real professionals. It's a great site for gamers to browse. You'll like it. http://toucharcade.com/
