Random Facts

Here are some random facts that have recently come to my attention:

-Ted Leo (yes, the man) produced Jejune's This Afternoons Malady. I wonder what else he's produced.

-Kickball can be played even with broken-down 12-pack boxes of Coors Light as bases.

-Taking in a second dog doesn't automatically yield to jealousy and fighting with the other dog. Mostly they follow each other around and want to eat each other's food.

-Chances are good that the next new CD I will buy will be My Morning Jacket's Z (out on the 20th of this month).

-Holiday=day with no obligations

These eleven films (along with a couple of animated shows, a holiday special, and a couple of live action shows) continue to mean something, even when they come out to mixed reviews. The Star Wars saga itself is bigger than those reactions, and I’m happy to see the saga transcend generations. I’m only a few days removed from seeing The Rise of Skywalker for the first time. I thought it was a fantastic film in the Skywalker saga. And since I’m not a filmmaker or a producer, I’m not one to make a bold claim about how I would have done it better. Because Star...
