The Summer Movie Season
Okay, I'm already psyched for this year's crop of films, and it isn't even Victoria Day weekend yet. Here's a brief rundown (in random order) of my picks for the next few months...

Today during my morning workout the radio played a techno version of Barber's Adagio. Really? They've done this??? Even my inner gym-bunny was rather appalled.
What's next -- Don Gio: Hip Hop Opera for the Oversexed ???

Collection of Rambled Musings
