Well, I had a super weekend … or should I say a Superman weekend …

Yea, that’s sort of obnoxious, but it’s Monday and the clever part of my mind is still trying to turn on.

What I meant by that ridiculous pun was that I had a chance to watch the Richard Donner cut of “Superman II” which was incredible and far better than the original version. The simple fact that Superman didn’t rip off his S and turn the Kryptonians into super-powered pigs in a blanket was enough to satisfy me, but there were countless other great additions including more Marlon Brando and something like 20 more minutes of footage.

In addition, I’ve been making my way through “Smallville” again and it has tempted me to write a compare/contrast paper about supernatural television shows that use high school as a metaphor. My prime examples will be “Smallville” and, you guessed it, “Buffy the Vampire Slayer.”

I will keep everyone informed on my progress (ugh, I shuddered just typing that word).

In other news, finally finished taking down the Christmas decorations so it’s goodbye garland, lights and nutcrackers until next year.

That’s all for now, I’ll do a more extensive blog as the week continues and my mind re-awakens. TTFN.
