It started as a tiger.. what will it become?

The following can be terribly sad and disturbing, but are also really interesting, if you are into that kind of thing. Most of these were recommended to me by either my brother, Lauren, or Felix. These sorts of things balance my Avatar-watching and fiction reading ( Read more... )

At the recommendation of our friends L&T, Tidewatcher and I watched Who killed the electric car? "In 1996, electric cars began to appear on roads all over California. They were quiet and fast, produced no exhaust and ran without gasoline...........Ten years later, these cars were destroyed" by their manufacturer despite the protests of consumers ( Read more... )

A very fun test to take. :) My result was ( Read more... )

It seems like ages since I've gamed (RPGs) with any regularity. I'd love to get back to a more regular monthly sort of gaming schedule. I've also been hoping to build confidence and experience GMing.

queenmabwords post about Uma Thurman's necklace got me thinking about the movie she is promoting. My Super Ex-Girlfriend. Generally, I don't like to downtalk people or things. And really, I'm not very picky about silly movies. I like them. And I like Uma Thurman a heck of a lot too. But the theme/plot of this movie is seriously repugnant to me. I was surprised ( Read more... )
