I wanted to reread Blankets. I am appreciating this reread. It definitely is hitting me different.

Made it throught the Spanish Civil War and World War 2. Now I am reading about post-war Germany and the people who kept football alive. Also 1950's Hungary as the capital of Total Football and how they humbled and humiliated the arrogant British FA. I love this stuff!

Matt Bailey is 40% done with It Seemed Like a Bad Idea at the Time: The Worst TV Shows in History and Other Things I Wrote
I love Vilanch's wit and humor. He talks about the cult TV episode of The Paul Lynde Halloween Special. I enjoy a good Paul Lynde story and he has a few. He also talk about his time with Ice Pirates, a crazy early 80's cheap sci-fi movie that was playing off the popularity of Star Wars. I have seen this thing years ago as a kid. I definitely need to do a re-watch.

In the first chapter he talks about helping write The Star Wars Holiday Special. Absolute camp at its finest by a group of individuals who did not take themselves too seriously.

Matt Bailey is starting A Brief History of Earth: Four Billion Years in Eight Chapters
I am excited to read this one. I used to dislike science so much when I was younger, but now I can't seem to get enough of it. There is so much I don't know or don't understand about this planet. I am trying to absorb as much as I can.
