The only thing I have to say about today’s Watson is that 1) I’m very intrigued to see how it turns out and 2) I just love that here there are people who actually are talking about it, interested, and have any sort of feelings about it. I was all excited to tell someone when I found out and share the news, and here was my experience of attempting to engage others in conversation about...

49. The Old Curiosity Shop (2007), 2.27.12
Man, this is like the most Dickensy Dickens to ever Dickens. There are lines like, “Prepare yourself for a sad scene,” characters named Kit Nubbins, Sally Brass, and Mr. Quilp, and a character who drowns, visible through ice, while jewelry and money floats around him. And someone who made this really likes watching Toby Jones eat food as...

Slightly earlier than this time last year, I was in California. True, it was still grey and cold, and I spent 80% of the trip sitting on my grandpa’s couch reading Kushiel’s Dart (shades of Patrick Verona), but I got to eat fresh produce, wear sandals every day, and walk barefoot in the sand. I like having seasons, but I’m ready for this wishy-washy winter to be over. You missed...

Fashion It So: First Contact - 4.15 →

This might be confusing for a second, but this post is not about the Star Trek movie subtitled “First Contact,” but rather an episode in the fourth season, about a planet that is right on the verge of warp technology, which means they’re almost ready to join the Federation! If they want to, that…
The single most disappointing thing about this particular blog entry...

Word nerd post: I love the dictionary.com word of the day selection:
hircine \HUR-sahyn\ , adjective: 1. of, pertaining to, or resembling a goat. 2. Having a goatish odor. 3. Lustful; libidinous.
The hircine stink in the air that he had sucked in while running was replaced by a cool dampness. — Jonathan Wilson, A Palestine Affair

46. Bambi, 2.24.12
It was really interesting to watch this right after the endlessly complex Rango. Obviously Bambi is a lot older but man, is it simple. The background paintings were gorgeous but I was completely unengaged with the plot, which is nothing more than showing a child who grows up and then has a child of his own. The famous death scene wasn’t even treated with much depth....

Well, I’ve come upon my first function that my Mac software cannot run, and that means more will follow. I suppose it’s time to get an upgrade. I always worry that upgrades will overwhelm my system if they’re too new, but from what I can tell with my minimal support understanding, I probably have to start with Snow Leopard no matter what, so that shouldn’t be too big a...
