In response to an entry abuot Bill Watterson's recent interview about Calvin & Hobbes, someone posted a link to a Calvin and Hobbes fanfic. It's a story about Calvin and Susie (and Hobbes) in their teens and early adulthood. I read it and felt the need to share it here: Theories About Nuclear WinterIt may sound silly, but I actually felt kind of ( Read more... )

For anyone looking for another distraction on the internet, here's a genie who guesses the character you're thinking of. It's basically twenty questions, but he's surprisingly good at it. He has three guesses to figure out who you're thinking of, and sometimes he can get it with shockingly little information (an English woman with magical powers ( Read more... )

I'm just taking a break and logging on to wish everyone a merry Christmas. Merry Christmas everybody, and enjoy your time with your families!

In this most holy of seasons, it's easy to forget that constant vigilance is required at all times. Our society is full of criminals, and many of them will try to convince you to embrace socialist ideas like "sharing" and "brotherhood."

Just a quick link to a couple of fun things that friends and I have found online, namely a pair of literal music videos. For those who haven't seen them before, these are the actual videos of songs (usually from the '80s) that have been re-dubbed so that the new song describes the action onscreen. The results are beautifully surreal ( Read more... )

So has everyone heard that they're going to make a new Buffy movie? It'll be a relaunch of the first one, but without everything that's dragged the franchise down, like Joss Whedon. Because the first movie was a cinematic masterpiece, but once that Joss asshole got creative control over the spin-off show it really tanked any chances they had for ( Read more... )

During today's Mage game, KELLY exposed us all to an excerpt from a terrible book. A dramatic reading of said book reminded me of an article Shamus Young posted about a movie making program that allowed you to make any movie you wanted, as long as you make it with Lego characters playing with a Speak and Spell.

Naturally, I then had to merge the ( Read more... )

A lot of people have been complaining that Watchmen wasn't that great, and I agree. It was an okay movie, for the most part. They didn't seem to know how to pace it, and that led to them stitching a lot of scenes together into a patchwork that needed to be tightened up in some places and loosened in others. They also felt the need to have Dan ( Read more... )

I have a longer post planned to discuss things in my life, like jobs and my future and things like that. You know, the kind of thing that I actually have this journal for. Also Fable II. But I don't have time for that right now. What I do have time to do is share this with you. Because it's been stuck in my head for like a week now, so that ( Read more... )

Merry Christmas to all, and to all a good night!
