A to Z Challenge - A

Time to kick off the A to Z Challenge! During April I am featuring some awesome bloggers, many of whom are participating in the Challenge. These individuals offered so much support of my book, CassaStar, and assisted my blogger journey. Of course I’ll be keeping up with the world of movies, music, and pop culture stuff as well! Ninjas are just talented that way...

A No. 2 Pencil, Stat!
It’s official – RaShelle rocks! She’s a positive, uplifting cheerleader. I can always count on Rashelle for a genuine word and a smile. And her book, Distorted, will be out soon! RaShelle’s a smart, sassy, and beautiful lady, so hop over to her site and tell her “You rock!”

Apocalypse Now
Is the world ending soon? Are we enduring the final days? Well, let’s just enjoy a good laugh on our way to the apocalypse! Chuck runs a fun site that deserves ten times the followers for the weekend graphs alone. He’s cool, so go tell Chuck that he’s The Dude!

Today is April Fool's Day and the release of Source Code and Hop in theaters. Still not sure about a bunny that craps Easter eggs though. And it's only 24% on Rotten Tomatoes. However, Source Code is at 93%! Seeing that one for sure.

    Ok well I hate to be a buzz kill on movies but I saw Source Code at the premiere at SXSW and it left quite a bit to be desired and I am not a very harsh movie critic.

    Hop I have heard will be very good and it is funny. I heard this from some of my friends that worked on the film.

    I am going to go and take a look at the two you suggested. Hooray for new blogs, and pop culture ;)

    Teresa, since it looks like a rehash of other movies, I won't go in with high expectations.

    Brianna, that's just disgusting, isn't it?

    I think we're definitely in Apocalypse mode. But while the race may be difficult at times, it can also be fun. A to Z isn't an earth-shattering thing, but it's fun. At least so far (oops, we're only on A). Well, the race isn't just to the swift. The important thing is getting to the finish line!

    And that's no April Fool.

    Great post, Alex.

    Hey Alex. I don't have any desire to see Hop, really. Source Code does look cool. Happy April Fool's.

    Not that you need the comments Ninja Alex. Just thought I'd pop over to see what the Grand Master was posting for numero uno and I saw Apocolypse Now, one of my all-time fave movies so it was worth the long journey.

    Enjoy April. Wow! Over 1000+. I guess everyone thought if you can't beat 'em, join 'em.

    I thought Hop looked cool.

    I'm glad Source Code is doing so well, really gotta see that one.

    Well, I decided not to do A to Z. Love the idea, but I'd miss the freedom of blogging about whatever I want. I'll still love reading and commenting on yours and others though.

    Really want to see Source Code too.

  138. Heather HenryApril 1, 2011 at 11:56 PM

    Dear Alex,
    I almost feel bad commenting, one more thing you have to read. I imagine you've probably been busy reading all day! I am hopeful that your internet is faster than mine, otherwise it could take years.
    I love your approach to this Challenge and I am grateful for it. I am looking forward to each new letter this month.
    Have a truly splendid month and don't forget to exercise your eyeballs.
    Ciao for now!

    Yeah, Apocalypse Now is just a budding according to some people I know and it's becoming rather aggravating to be around people telling me that the world is coming to an end.

    I tell them "Why do you have to tell me that? Keep this information to yourself", because I mean really, why would someone want to mess up another person's last few days with that kind of sad news?

    On another note:

    Source Code is THE movie to check out this weekend.

    I had a chance to check it out in advance within the last few weeks but missed out on that due to work.

    Hop looks cute but I hope Source Code tops the box office this weekend, when the ticket sales are tallied up on Monday.

    Alex, congrats on the publication of your first novel! How exciting! I am also a sci-fi writer. My first YA sci-fi novel will be released in July. I'm going to check out Cassastar. Love the title!
