the end of an era, and something completely unrelated.
I am very tired. We were way too busy this weekend (well, okay, too busy Saturday). The baby keeping me up past two am didn’t help either.
Luckily, I have a nice wife who lets me sleep in occasionally while she gets showered with baby gifts.
I am going to bed early tonight. I think it’s a good idea, as I actually have to go back to work tomorrow for the first time in about a month.
I’m not sure I feel entirely okay about that.
But, life goes on, and paid paternity leave isn’t forever (especially if you want to keep some sick leave banked for something serious down the road). The nose is getting a little dull, and the grindstone is getting a little lonely. I suppose it’s time.
On that note, I leave you all with this, one of the greatest things ever. Apparently, in 1978, there was a Japanese Spider-Man (Supaida-man) television series. Of course, Spider-Man was a motorcycle stunt rider when he wasn’t wearing the tights, fighting ninjas, robotic samurai and lycra-clad female giants with the help of a bitchin’ spidey-mobile, a giant robot, and, on at least one occasion, a cowboy with a machine gun guitar.
Yes, you heard that right, spider-man, his giant robot and a machine-gun guitar cowboy. Tell me how this wasn’t immediately considered the pinnacle of mankind’s efforts toward filmed entertainment, causing the rest of the film and television industry to hang their heads in shame, and just give up, knowing they’d never create something as great as this opening credits sequence:
If it ran in the States at the same time in ran in Japan, my four year old self would definitely have thought there could be no greater achievement.
