The Ides of October

Wednesday, Oct. 15, 2003 - 8:00 a.m.

Well. Golly.

Last night, I watched a baseball game the likes of which I don't remember ever seeing before, not even with the San Francisco Giants.

The Chicago Cubs had a meltdown of astronomical proportions, and it all started with a call that -should- have been Fan Interference. The fan reached over the wall and caught a ball that would otherwise have landed in the outfielder's glove.

But the idiot fan is not the sole reason for the loss -- their opponents, the Florida Marlins, had an eight-run inning.

Mumble, mutter. Anyway, now it's off to Game Seven of the playoffs; so because I tend to root for the underdog, I'm going to keep hoping the Cubbies will triumph.

It's finally COLD here in the morning. Usually, we San Franciscans don't ever have any weather in our weather -- but it's officially 'Nipple Season' now.

This is an oldie, but maybe you haven't seen this -- It's a synopsis for a famous movie.

Guesses may be left in the comments section:

Transported to a surreal landscape, a young girl
kills the first woman she meets and then teams up
with three complete strangers to kill again.

Finally, run, do not walk, to your nearest DVD outlet with decent prices, and obtain the special edition of "The Hitch Hiker's Guide to the Galaxy". The program itself is beautifully reproduced -- but the -extras- are amazing.

The synopsis is, of course, "The Wizard of Oz" -- Now, try this one: A young boy whose family is slain gets involved in a plan to rescue a kidnapped princess from the fortified headquarters of an evil lord who sounds like James Earl Jones. He is aided by a mystical little fellow he meets in a desolate landscape, and uses his father's special sword to fight the evil lord (who claims at one point to be the lad's father). Hint: It's NOT Star Wars!

Figured I'd give the peanut gallery a little time before chiming in. The movie is "Conan the Barbarian". :)

My first thought about Brin's question was Alice in Wonderland before I really thought about it. Hmmm...
