Moby- Wait for Me

Yes, I have been rather quiet lately on my blog.  Damn.  And I thought I was on a roll… Well, I was on a roll, but not for blogginess.  First of all, I was trying to finish up my last week at the Gnomon School.  This involved making a final project for my dynamic FX [...]

A Funny Thing Happened on the Way to the Oscars

Taken by Taken

My friends and I have been watching the miniseries “Taken” that was on the SciFi channel a while ago. I had already seen it, but watching it again has really made me appreciate the writing, especially for a show about aliens! I have gathered some of my favorite quotes, spoken by the character Allie Keys [...]

Please Say Something

My friend Pericles sent me this by way of Twitter by way of These Are Those Things (all of these interconnections- it’s how the interwebs work).
