Hey kids- hope you're having a good weekend.
It's not too shabby on this end- a good crowd for Saturday Night Karaoke last night and now it's time to make sure the imprint of my ass on the couch is in good shape!
I was on the way over to a friend's this morning to help with clearing out their basement of stuff and I couldn't help but notice it was a beautiful day outside, and there were plenty of people out in the downtown Norcross parks enjoying it.
And they all make me sick because I'm jealous that I can't do that without a monster headache because of pollen!

The Man in Black's childhood home is now a landmark.
The Arkansas Historic Preservation Program announced Friday Johnny Cash's home in Dyess- near Tennessee- had been added to the on the National Register of Historic Places. Cash and his family lived in the house, built in 1934 as part of the Dyess Resettlement Colony by the Federal Emergency Relief Administration, from the time he was 3 until he graduated from high school. At least two of his compositions- Five Feet High and Rising and Pickin' Time were based on his life there.
The Arkansas Democrat-Gazette reports Arkansas State University, which owns the house, spent just over half a million dollars to buy, restore, furnish and landscape the property.
Mad props to everyone involved in Infinity Wars for it's so-far-fucking-incredible haul over one billion dollars in just one week, but cool your jets, fans. Though Marvel may own six of the top 25 "highest grossing titles", once those numbers are adjust for inflation- they don't even crack the top 10.
The all-time champ in that list remains Gone With The Wind, with an adjust take of $3.44 billion.
The adjusted-gross top 10 (as of 2014):
1) Gone With The Wind (1939): $3,440,000,000
2) Avatar (2009): $3,020,000,000
3) Star Wars (1977): $2,825,000,000
4) Titanic (1997): $2,516,000,000
5) The Sound of Music (1965): $2,366,000,000
6) E.T.: The Extra-Terrestrial (1982): $2,310,000,000
7) The Ten Commandments (1956): $2,187,000,000
8) Doctor Zhivago (1965): $2,073,000,000
9) Star Wars: The Force Awakens (2015): $2,068,223,624
10) Jaws (1975): $2,027,000,000
Seeing as it's only been one week, though- I'm thinking Jaws will be bumped out of the top 10 before Infinity Wars ends its run. By the way, this list reflects box office only. Video sales (VHS, BetaMax, LaserDisc, DVD, BluRay, etc.) aren't counted.
