Just finished reading Watchmen. Brilliant. Depressing. Not exactly depressing. But shook me to the core. After reading Brave New World and Watchmen back to back, I wonder if, like John the Savage, like Rorschach, is it right, is it proper, is it just and honorable to pursue our own humanity in all its faults and flaws, unaided by social constructs ( Read more... )

I listened to most of Danger Mouse's The Grey Album on my way to work the other day. I liked that it remixed Jay-Z's tracks with rock and acoustic stuff you never hear in mainstream rap.

I worked in concessions today. I got a $10 iTunes gift card from a random customer guy, $5 cash from a big flashy Filipino family w/ their Ed Hardy shirts and Louis Vuitton purses and glittery makeup, and a quarter from another guy's change ( Read more... )

The only reason I finished it was because I had gone through most of it so quickly I figured at this rate I might as well see it to the end. Had I known that it ( Read more... )

Yesterday, I picked up ducks on set. There was a number of them on set. A couple dozen I'd say. (I tried looking up the definition for a group of ducks just now, but it took much longer than I desired.) The scenes entailed camping and other outdoorsiness near a pond. We PA's took turns wrangling the ducks with crackers and bagel crumbs and bread ( Read more... )

I'm voting for Obama. (SURPRISE!)

And I'm voting nay on every proposition except 5. My pocketbook can't afford such things.

All of them practical ( Read more... )

Played around w/ Facebook blog import to note feature thing. Tried before. Trying again. Deleted all notes. Reimported entries up to 7 mos old. Hopefully, there won't be anymore confusion. Well, I hope there won't be. Misuse of adverb "hopefully."
