I don't exactly have a huge readership here, but regardless, if you enjoy graphics at all, hop on over to sg1_lims and vote in the finals for this round. Don't be scared, just put down what you think! I just love the icons people have produced. I'm thinking of entering the next round just to force myself to learn... They're way out of my league at this ( Read more... )

So my sister was out to lunch with colleagues a couple of days ago and ended up being caught on film by the "ethics situational" show What Would You Do? It's a pretty interesting story with lots of meta about how the sense we might be being watched affects our behavior and how even after doing the right thing we're afraid we'll be misunderstood...

How can SGA producer Martin Gero see things so completely differently from me (us)? He just did a long interview at GW (be warned, you have to wade through pages of the unsolicited thoughts of the interviewer, oh joy), and his views of Rodney, Keller, why people don't like Keller (it's all Carson's fault), and how he seems to confuse his feelings ( Read more... )

My fellow Californians, we're voting to let animals stand up and walk around before we kill and eat them, but not to let two consenting adults marry? Sigh. My Bay Area voted no, but LA county is voting in favor of the ban. Ironically the large African American turn-out is helping pass Prop 8 according to exit polls.

Well, a worse situation is one in which the con leads on all the actors as well as fans, doesn't tell the truth, lets the fans spend their hard-earned money to get there, then actually SHUTS DOWN on the Saturday ( Read more... )

So this weekend I caught up on 2 Oscar noms I'd missed, "Atonement" and "No Country for Old Men" (the winner). Both were incredible in very different ways. And... both made me feel pretty stupid as a movie viewer.

Does anyone besides me tend to miss some of the fundamental depths while just trying to take in a movie? Honestly, for both, once I ( Read more... )

Have people heard that Head Ledger died, apparently of a drug overdose? Yahoo story. So tragic,  I'm just speechless. I loved his work from Roar to Brokeback Mountain. Only 28... my god, why is being an actor such a dangerous profession?? He leaves a little daughter behind. :(

Finally finished my painfully complete Burbank con report with picture gallery... a few interesting items you might not have read before, and plenty of Shanks and Flanigan lurve (from me to them, not between them, fcol!)
