interesting

This is random yet profound, so let’s just say it’s a profandom moment — For years I had seen references about the man who was alone, and loved books. Then when he finally was alone and had a chance to read he breaks his glasses. Well it finally “clicked” as I did not know the source of said reference. Sci Fi has been playing Twilight Zone for hours today, the original b&w versions. Anyway they JUST played the episode where the man who never gets to read because his work and wife won’t let him, survives an A bomb and is the only one left. He finds a library and thinks he’s hit the best thing that could ever happen to him, now he can finally do what he has always wanted. He has the rest of time to sit at the library and read books. Just as he go to read his first book, what should happen? His glasses fall off and the glass breaks…. *click* it all makes sense now 🙂

  1. The Twilight Zone has been in the news a lot lately. I think because they are prepping to release them on DVDs (all 3 versions). This is also the time of year when the original screenwriter Rod Sterling died. (Actually he died on my birthday (tomorrow), which is kinda a weird thing to have to think about.) I know that because I got in a cab the other day and the driver shooshed me from talking to him, so he could hear them talk about Sterling on the radio. He was a really odd-ball cabbie too, and you don’t want to hear guys like that talk about the twilight zone, when you are putting your life in their hands in the middle of the night. *shrug* but I survived fine… or did I? do da do da…
