    In other alcohol-related news, I'm taking a wine tasting course this semester. I'm receiving credit for drinking wine every Monday and Wednesday afternoon. Graduating in style.

    Wine tasting?! And you get actual college credit for that? How are you graded? Can you drink more wine for extra credit? Will you be able to tell where a wine is from just by smelling it when the class is done? Why wasn't this course offered at my school?

    Well done Pym. It doesn't get any better than this.

    I'm so freaking exhausted. I've been running errands nonstop over the past three days in the lead-in to the 9-hour drive to campus I have tomorrow morning. All I want to do is sleep... but first my brother and I are finishing up The Force Awakens. We can't let our Star Wars marathon go incomplete. Priorities.

    There is an old movie theater in town, I think it's been around for like 80 years, and it shows documentaries and older films now and I just saw that Raiders of the Lost Ark is playing next Friday! I'm excited as I've never actually seen it on the big screen and will be watching it in the theater it originally played at here.

    My student theater has had Raiders of the Lost Ark make it to the voting round, like, three times over the past year or so for the Classics programming block. It has never been voted in. One of the three times, an argument against it was, "It's kind of a 'dad' movie." Mary Poppins got voted in instead, I believe. I think I stopped showing up to meetings after that.

    See, this is what Anakin was talking about in Attack of the Clones when he waxed poetic on the values of a benign dictatorship. Dictatorships get us Raiders of the Lost Ark. Democracies get us Mary Poppins.

    The respect I had for your school because of that wine tasting class just took a big hit with this new, troubling information.

    I go to FSU; there should be more than enough to cause your respect to fluctuate alarmingly.

    Honestly, not all that often. This is my last semester, though, so I'm planning on attending at least a couple more football games before I leave.

    I'm a Duke basketball fan because all of the professional sports teams I root for sucked when I got into college basketball (well before the Blackhawks got good again) and my alma mater is more often in the NIT than the big tournament come March.....so I'd love to be able to go to a lot of the ACC games.

    On a sad note I just found out the local comic book store I've been going to for 20+ years is closing at the end of next month....the nearest comic shop will now be about a 45 minute drive away. Pretty not cool about the whole thing.

    And now I have a mental image of Harrison Ford trying to do a Cockney accent and singing Chim-chiminy chim-chiminy chim chim cheroo.

    I start class tomorrow, so I think I'm going to while away the hours watching the Dollars trilogy. I also finally got around to watching Krampus yesterday afternoon. My favorite horror movie is Trick 'r Treat, so I'm personally surprised it took so long, and it was no Trick 'r Treat, but I enjoyed it. Horror-comedy is my favorite variation of the genre, and always has been since I watched Abbott and Costello meet Frankenstein Meet Frankenstein with my grandpa as a little kid, so it scratched all the right itches for me.

    I started watching Stranger Things (Netflix) this weekend and holy crap! It is my new favorite show, so, so good. Anyone else check it out yet? If not I highly recommend it.
