Today’s blog will be uncharacteristically short for once. If only because there’s very little I can add to the comments I’ve made so far about X-Men 2.

All I know is that everyone in my circle of friends is still talking about it. “Did you see it?” “What did you think?” I’ve also been getting my fair share of e-mail pointing out that Gambit was indeed in the movie. Apparently a file on the Cajun appears when Mystique (disguised as Lady Deathstrike) is looking up file information on Magneto. I must be slipping in my old age because I totally missed it.

While I have your attention, can I ask you to vote for Theater Hopper at Top Web Comics. Please remember to do it everyday. I’m just kind of hovering around 18 on the list and want to see if I can crack into the inner sanctum a little further. Many thanks!

Other notes of interest.

I watched the MTV Icon Award ceremony for Metallica tonight fully expecting it to suck. I was pleasantly surprised to see the boys still have their chops. It gives me hope for their new album and makes me want to dig out all the old ones.

Of course, right now, I’m swimming in the deep end of audio bliss. The White Stripes new album “Elephant” is totally kicking my ass. It’s a little more rockin’ then their last one. Actually, you can consider it a return to form if you compare it to their earlier works. It’s very good.

I’ll be back later with more news.
