Continental drift

13. November 2008

My 2009 is shaping up. Continents are starting to move. Stars aligning and all that. It’s looking pretty scary right now. Charlie Brown and the football. I may go “batshit crazy.” Even though I already am. I’d be updating 14G Radio right now, but the free trial of my FTP program expired and now - even [...]

Twitter and other things

1. November 2008

A few people have tried to get me into Twitter. Now let me get this straight: it’s like Facebook status updates, only you do it all day long - and your friends do it too - so you can track the minutae in each other’s days? No thank you. I saw Let the Right One In today [...]

God bless tha internets for making me laugh at the end of a tough week. The tagline put me over the edge.

Freaky Friday; or, a series of disconnected thoughts

I don’t normally work Fridays, but this week I do. To do so, I have to get up at 6:00am. And I never get up at 6:00am. This is going to be difficult for me. Of course, I did have a four-hour nap when I got home yesterday. I’m all screwed up now. I have no [...]

Good dick

Before y’all look at that post title and accuse me of pandering to a certain demographic, head on over and check out this preview for a new film called Good Dick. Looks great! (There’s a red-band version of the trailer here.) If you’ve ever seen another film called Happy Endings, you’ll know what I mean [...]

A chill in the air

I think tomorrow is the first day of Fall. I like Fall, but the current stretch of rain/clouds here in Vancouver has me bummed. Plus I am swamped with work right now. I feel pulled in fifty directions. It’s not fun. Baking a cake in Fatty’s Palace maybe wasn’t such a good idea. It’s already a third [...]

The universe wants me to have a new TV

4. September 2008

When I moved back in July, I lost access to the Blu-ray player and giant TV that my roommates had. I’ve got a box full of Blu-ray discs too, which makes the loss doubly tragic. And so I told myself when I moved that I’d wait until November or so before buying a [...]

One thing I’ve learned in the past 24 hours

I should meet up with The Darcys more often! Judging from the explosive site traffic yesterday, y’all were captivated by the dizzying heights of my mental illness happiness. Thank you for your concern emotional investment. Anyway, tomorrow (Wed.) could be equally as interesting. That’s all I want to say right now. Other non-Darcy-related activities to come: [...]

Solaris

I watched Solaris last night, the 2002 film adaptation of Stanislaw Lem’s 1921 novel. (I had been meaning to for a long time, but never got around to it.) Although not exactly faithful to all of the subtleties and themes of Lem’s novel, I still enjoyed it. A lot. Steven Soderbergh has [...]
