Real life is kicking me in the face, taking my lunch money, and making me sing while hoping on one foot at the moment. So until things calm down a bit in meatspace, I'm stepping away from this here blog. I'll probably be away for the next week or two.

If you know where to find me in my other online haunts, I'll be popping up there from time to time.

See y'all soon.

It's been a while since I paid close attention to how movies perform at the box office. Years ago I was pretty avid about following those numbers, and I got very good at estimating what any given film might gross during any given frame. But like visitor stats on this here site, it's just not something I keep tabs on anymore.

However, Thursday night I was having a conversation with a friend who'd just seen Star Trek and we got on the box office subject. Specifically, my friend wondered what Trek's debut might mean for Wolverine's numbers. Without hesitating, I said Wolverine would fall off by 70%.

I just checked the numbers. Wolverine did $27 million this weekend, after pulling $85 million its first weekend. That's a drop off of roughly 68.5%.

I still got it.

I missed it when it happened Wednesday, but Pundit Kitchen did indeed front-page my LOLpic of the President and a baby mind melding.

Response is mixed in the comments, but the rating is pretty high (4.5 Lincolns). Not bad for my first outing on the site.

I'm heading out to see Star Trek tonight. In preparation for this new take on the legend that is Trek, I've just watched the below tribute for what is probably the 100th time.

If you're planning on seeing the movie soon, and you love this universe as much as I do, take a few minutes and remember what has come before:
