hopelessly devoted to deconstructing popular culture and conventional wisdom, one blog at a time

Busy working, posting on Jokers Wild

Yeah, yeah, I shoulda coulda woulda posted all of the things on my mind this morning, but work pays the bills unlike Blogger.

Get psyched up for Superman Returns with some light reading (note: I also had a big Sunday charticle -- fancy Herald speak for an article in chart form -- comparing all of the actors who've played Superman but it didn't make the hyperleap online)...

-- Catch up with where we last left Superman in our rendition of "As the Kryptonite Turns."
-- Shaquille O'Neal has more songs name-dropping Superman than he has NBA title rings. Go figure. That's just the nature of Superman songs, of which there are hundreds. What's your favorite? I posted a shortlist playlist of songs for a mix CD. Favorite song I didn't include: XTC's "That's Really Super, Supergirl."

I've been posting daily about comedy on Jokers Wild, the Boston Herald-approved blog. So if you clicked here today (or any day) and haven't found anything new yet on Popular Thinking, you're almost certain to find some new reading on Jokers Wild.

My cruise around the Bahamas finally found its way into print last week, too. Take a look at Grand Turk. If you don't look now, you won't recognize it next year.
