View From the Bushes

Hopefully sometime before I go to bed tonight we'll have another adventure for you. Although the 4th was busier than I thought so it may not make an appearance until Monday. You can never tell with these fly-by-night PDF publishers we're always pushing things back as much as 48 hours, not like video game publishers. Which leads me to make a prediction, Blizzard's "World of Warcraft"? Not until spring of 2005. You heard it hear first.

In fact the fourth was so busy that I completely forgot about doing a "View from the Bushes", but I figure that most of the rest of the country took the day off so that's as good of an excuse as any. In fact I'll probably take Thanksgiving and Christmas off as well, so right there you can see what kind of a huge slacker I am. The big reason for my dereliction was that my brother and wife talked me into going to see X-Men 2, which I hadn't seen yet if you can believe it.

The only place still showing it was an older multiplex that's probably going to be out of business by this time next year. When we arrived the theater seemed totally abandoned. After walking around for awhile we managed to find a single employee, a young girl who looked happy to see another living person, though to be fair there was one other person in the theater, though it's possible that the employee was glad we had shown up because she didn't want to be alone with this guy. If you know what I mean.
