Wednesday Ramblings
Apr 2nd, 2008 | By Brian Leon | Category: Film, USA Elections 2008I think it is a bit surprising that the Final Four in the NCAA Tournament are all number one seeds. First time ever. If you had picked them for your bracket that would have been very conservative but given past tournament years not something that would have been expected. Perhaps a 2nd or 4th seed would be up there. Needless to say my brackets look threadbare now…. Three more weeks until the Pennsylvania primary. Obama has been slowly but surely moving up in the polls there. Two polls released today showed significant jump in support just from a few weeks ago. A victory may still be out of reach but keeping it close will definitely still help him sustain momentum into the following campaigns in North Carolina and Indiana….. Been raining pretty steady for the past several days. That is encouraging in helping alleviating the drought conditions that persisted from last year. Still not out of the woods yet as most of the state is considered to be in a dry condition but that is an improvement from the extreme drought from last August…. Tax return is coming soon and I have yet to do the taxes but then again I already calculated that I will be paying in this year so rush yet to do them…. I think this summer movie season is the year of the comic book hero: Ironman, Batman, Hellboy and the Incredible Hulk will all take bows. I hope to make it out for some of them at least Ironman and Batman (The Dark Knight)…. If the weather holds this weekend, maybe I will get out and get some new photographs. The itch to be creative is getting to be intense.
