So, today is the big day, the "Snakes on a Plane" day. The day that the hype stops being hype and the dollars start coming into the studio, thanks to all those jokesters out there who talked this movie up for almost a year. With an essentially free ad campaign, how can they not make money?
As for me, I'm still unsure of whether I'll even see "Snakes on a Plane" this weekend. Maybe it's age or something, but a not-insignificant part of me is a little saddened by all this wink wink it's actually a good bad movie nonsense. Maybe it's because I used to feel that being in on the joke made me, I don't know, special. Now everyone is in on the joke, even cable news. Leave it to cable news to ruin just about anything. Bah. Snakes. Planes. Inside jokes that everyone is in on. Who needs 'em?

"I'm struck by the narcissism and banality of so many personal blogs." - Blaise Cronin, Professor and Dean, Information Science, Indiana University. Is corn the most banal thing possible? Certainly it's not narcissistic to think about and talk about corn. Perhaps I skew 100% banal, 0% narcissistic, then. So here it is - some thoughts about corn. Enjoy. It's nutritious!
