Good, Funny, & Upbeat (RIGHT!)

Some days…

Let’s not dwell on the negative. There have GOT to be some good, funny, upbeat things today, right? I said, “RIGHT?!”

There’s another incredible new trailer for “Gravity”, opening October 4th, which may be the movie I’ve been most excited about seeing since “The Fellowship Of The Ring” or “Star Wars”. WARNING: Do not read the comments on YouTube! Except for places that strictly moderate the comments, like Whatever or here, you should probably NEVER read the comments, but it goes double for this batch. They are full of bile and hatred from misogynistic trolls and will make you hate a significant portion of your species. Just watch the trailer, it’s amazing.

If you’re on the US east coast on Saturday night, September 7th, about 11:21 PM EDT, between Maine and South Carolina as far inland as Montreal, Buffalo, Pittsburgh, or Winston-Salem (maps here), watch for the LADEE launch out of Wallops Island in Virginia. The closer you are to Virginia the higher and brighter the launch will be, but it’s not that often you get to see something being sent to the moon, so take the chance if you get it.

Today ABC announced the cast of this new season of “Dancing With The Stars” (stay with me, here!) and while it contains the usual assortment of smiley-faced balloon heads who are “famous for being famous”, it also will have Bill Nye the Science Guy.

These truly are interesting times in so, so many ways.
