Not a lot going on today:

  • Sissy decided that I needed to wake up at 9:28 this morning. Fortunately, after a few pets on the head and scratches on her back, she was satisfied and wandered off to parts unknown. I went back to sleep.
  • Winter X Games VIII are on ESPN. From a couple of the camera angles, you could see the skier with the chase cam. I’d never really considered who followed the boarders and skiers before today.
  • : I found something that I think you might like.
  • Airport 1975 is on AMC. The flight made it’s emergency landing in Salt Lake City. This must really be “the place.” They showed shots of the SLC valley as the plane was on approach; it looks pretty… barren. There is also some interesting trivia attached to this movie (courtesy of IMDb). Given how skittish we seem to have become about “political correctness” and “homeland security” and any other catchphrase-of-the-minute, would movies like the Airport series make it in today’s entertainment market?

I should probably get moving, as we’re having company for dinner… and I need to do some cleaning. And cooking.

Namaste.
