Some slightly cool news

I'm always bitching about how blackfolk--even the smart ones--end up dead in horror flicks, right?

Well, with all the crappy stuff SciFi has pulled lately in regards to POC, at least they conceded one thing.

In Supergator, the black chick not only lives, but has some brains and proves to be smarter than her white professor (and he even concedes to that point at the end of the movie).

Mind you, she didn't get to fight the gator, and fell prey to the usual female screamfest that happens.

But.

She lived all the way through the movie, with barely even a scratch. ^^ That's something, at least.

Everyone has the resident 'pet' wild animal, right?

Here's mine.

The resident anole Unfortunately, I couldn't get a good pic of his face.

This little dude has been showing up everyday (except when it rains) between two and four pm and hangs out on the rail until he either gets bored, or finds something tasty in the bushes below to catch.

It's interesting to note that anoles (lizards in general) represent dreams, dreaming, and what you can bring back with you from them to use in the real world. Maybe my resident 'wild pet' can help with my creative endeavors. *g*

ETA Sidenote: for those of you who care (not many, I know, but I gotta geek at you all)

Vampires: Los Muertos is playing on SciFi at 12 noon central time. So, if you really want to try and catch Jon-as-a-vampire-hunter, there you go. Enjoy.
