When I read this bit of news this morning, I wanted to cry.
In a weekend in which Aardman Studios took the #1 spot at the box office with their claymation hit Wallace & Gromit: The Curse of the Were-Rabbit, they also took a big hit when a fire scorched a warehouse where most of their sets, memorabilia, and awards were being housed.
So much film and animation history destroyed, never to be recovered. That is terrible.
But, you've gotta admire W&G creator Nick Park who decided he had no choice other than to take it all in stride especially when he thought about this event in light of the earthquake in Pakistan and India. Despite the loss, he still feels lucky. Most people would whine about their loss (or, in my case, whine about someone else's loss... go fig), but here is Park putting it all in perspective.
And now for something completely different...
Random Act of Senseless Thought:
I don't know why, but it seemed to me that I needed a section in which I can just post random thoughts that I might have about anything and just post it to see what anyone has to say about it all. I know that most of the stuff I post is kinda like this, but these will just be brief snippets. Nothing that really merits an entire post. They will likely just be tacked on the end of a larger post. And I have no idea how often they will pop in my head. So here's my first...
If the Winnipeg Jets play the San Jose Sharks (NHL), would the organist play nothing but West Side Story tunes?
Yeah, that was bad. I admit it.
