With all the fanfare that is January 1st, I began wondering does January 2nd have anything going for it, or does it get lost in the holiday shuffle?
As it turns out January the 2nd is National Science Fiction Day. While sci-fi is not my favorite genre there are some works that are a member of the family that I like.
Thus to commemorate it we have a poster of Steven Spielberg's Close Encounters of the Third Kind.
I haven't seen it since it first came out (Yes, I was once young) and probably should watch it as an adult as I am sure I would comprehend it more now.
However twelve year old me remembers being awestruck by it. I'm sure it was mainly the visual aspect of the film, but hey, whatever works.
So today grab your favorite sci-fi novel or play one of those movies you have in your collection and blast off Minions!!!
