It’s funny how a song you don’t normally like can suddenly sound good. It’s the middle of the night, I’ve got my headphones on, and I decided to play some Elvis music from the 1960s. The first song that came up is “A Little Bit Of Green,” a track I normally skip. Yet, tonight, it sounds like a great song to me for some reason. Just a random thought to start out a random post.

Playing now is “Don’t Cry, Daddy,” always a favorite. Maybe it’s the headphones, not that they’re anything special. Even this one sounds better than normal, though.

Anyway, I can hardly believe that summer is nearly over. Oh sure, I guess there’s another month or so, officially, but I’m back in school again starting Monday night, so that means summer is effectively over.

“Power Of My Love” is up now, another winner that sounds even better tonight. Maybe I’m just in an Elvis mood.

I’ve been taking one class a semester, but this semester I’ll be taking two. Actually, one of my classes was canceled as of yesterday, so I had to pick another one at the last second. Even one class a semester was an awful lot of work, so I can only imagine how bad two classes are going to be.

I’ve liked my recent update routine for The Film Frontier, confining my work on the site to Friday through Sunday. I’ll try to keep that up as best I can, though I’ll no longer have every Friday off effective September. I should be able to sneak at least one post in per weekend, I would bet. I actually miss this place when I’m not able to post. This blogging thing can be quite addictive.

When it comes to movies, what a summer this has been. My favorite film this summer was The Dark Knight, putting me on the same page as most other bloggers out there – but sometimes the majority can be right, you know. My next favorite was Get Smart, which was actually the one I was looking forward to seeing the most. A fine movie it was, but not a masterpiece like The Dark Knight.

We even had a decent Indiana Jones movie after a 19-year wait, not to mention a minor league Star Wars movie via the animated The Clone Wars. I wish they would just re-release one of the live action Star Wars movies every summer. They would make plenty of money, I guarantee it. Especially if they didn’t tinker with them too much.

Ah, well, this post kind of turned into a dud. I got distracted reading some other web pages, not to mention listening to the music.

Until next time, try to enjoy your daylight. . . .
