It has been a month of randonimity and so here are some crazy things that have passed through the eclectic mind of Riotimus.
- Speaking of Gambit, I saw a preview that suggests that he will be in the Wolverine movie next summer. Gambit has gone through many interpretations so if any of my fine readers ever followed the X-Men which Gambit would you like to see on the big screen? Or what do you like or dislike about the character?
- I was recently remembering this post from Blog Ing about Spam. It is one of the funniest things I've ever come across in Blog Land or otherwise. Unfortunately the pictures no longer appear to be active, but maybe Ing will fix it for those of you that haven't been through his archives.
- I heard a few tunes that I thought I would share. The first, Cath, I loved everything about and was shocked to find that it was by a band I despise. Secondly, Re-Education (through labor) has the coolest name in all songdom and really appeals to my inner eco-social malcontent. Old Enough reminds me of what I was like when I was young and what it is like to have a serious conversation with a youth. It is a shame clarity takes so much time to achieve. None of these bands are favorites of mine, but the songs are.
- I'm reading The Elfstones of Shannara. I recently finished The Sword of Shannara. I don't understand how The Sword can be so painful experience to read and The Elfstones still live up to my distant memories. Is it that Brooks grew as a writer and story teller? Is it that I can't get past regurgitated Tolkien enough to enjoy Sword? I suppose I may never know.
So that's a bit of what's been on my mind. Have a Merry Monday.

Those thoughts are definitely random. Great post. I enjoyed the songs too. By the way, Gambit will surely be in the new Wolverine flick, though I don't know how they will interpret the character.
During the short time I was reading X-Men consistently, I never liked Gambit. I couldn't see what Rogue saw in him. Maybe I was just jealous. :)
I haven't read anything Shannara since high school, but I remember liking Elfstones much better. It's certainly more original, and that can only help.
