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). It’s a really great animated short called “Please Say Something” by David O’Reilly. I think it really touches upon many thoughts and emotions I and others have had concerning [...]

War of the Worlds 2.0

Hope everyone had a Happy Halloween! If you didn’t notice, my last two blog posts were a little… unusual.  While stargazing is a favorite pastime of mine, a few of the things I wrote about were… shall we say… “slanted” for entertainment purposes.  Hey, at least I’m telling you.  Hollywood never extends you that courtesy [...]

Flee? Not Me!

Exciting stuff today! Turns out last night was the perfect night to look at the stars! Check out this atmospheric weirdness: And: What is all this stuff? It’s NOT a meteor shower, I can tell you that. The quadrantids? I wish they were that cool! Not only that, but the first two burnt up like [...]

Planetary Stargazing

Don’t Vote. Wait… what?

The original sarcasm video went viral and prompted thousands to go and register to vote (reverse psychology works every time… or doesn’t it?)  This is Steven Spielberg’s remake (or a spoof remake, anyway).  I think it’s hilarious.  You know, just in case you aren’t one of the people swayed by reverse psychology: Oh, and if [...]

Magic Mirror

I think I need one of these.  The more I think about it, the more I know it to be true. Interactive Mirror from Alpay Kasal on Vimeo.

The Evil League of Evil

It’s pretty safe to assume that when I do not update my blog regularly, it is because I am working on a project.  There have been quite a few things I’ve wanted to write about: how disappointed I am in this new season of Heroes (and conversely, how NOT disappointed I’ve been in Fringe), how [...]

Firefly

That was a great show, wasn’t it? It made me love Summer Glau, who I’ve mentioned before on this blog. Her ballet performance as Cameron in “Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles” was way cool. Add that to her awesome butt-whooping scene in “Serenity” and it equals me as an uberfan. Any female who loves ballet [...]
