Double Reading

Well duh! But at least Entertainment Weekly finally figured it out!! In the August 5, 2005 issue they have a “Summer’s Must-See Movies” feature which included a blurb about 2046.
I love that they commended Zhang Ziyi on her acting ability and noted made a connection between the film’s title and Hong Kong history.

Yesterday my coworker asked me what I thought about the idea that Jesus was a time traveler. Being a fan of Coast to Coast, ideas like this don’t really strike me as extremely odd or absurd.
Then I started to really contemplate the implications of Jesus Christ being from the future. The whole thing made my [...]

The story about the guy from Brazil who was shot (8 times!!) and killed in London on Friday is probably one of the most upsetting pieces of news I’ve read in a long time… probably more upsetting than this whole Karl Rove scandal.
Thank god we have The Huffington Post’s “A Death in London” to really [...]

On Sunday afternoon, when it was sunny and in the 80s in Seattle (during a relatively cold and rainy summer), I went to a lecture by Robert Horton, the curator of The Frye Art Gallery’s The Magic Lantern “talks on film and art” series. I mentioned the talk the other day and gave some excerpts [...]

It’s been over a week since I last got my West Wing fix, so I’m feeling the need to do something West Wing related until my friend returns from vacation and I can resume season two (so far we’re about eight episodes into that season). As promised, here are some of my thoughts about things [...]

In November 2004 I purchased a new notebook computer. I had always used desktop computers in the past, but figured that it was time to get a nice, portable computer. I didn’t even contemplate where to get the computer — I immediately went to the Dell site and bought a Dell Inspiron 1150 (note the [...]

I’ve been trying to use the phrase “you all” or even “y’all” for quite a few years now, mostly because “you guys” is, while not sexist, gender insensitive? I don’t know. I just felt stupid saying, “What do you you guys think?” when none of the people I was talking to were guys.
That’s why I [...]

I consider to be myself a pretty big Missy Elliott fan. I’ve purchased …So Addictive, Under Construction, and This Is Not a Test the days they were released. For Elliott’s latest, The Cookbook, the situation was the same. I got it on Tuesday. I now feel ready to comment on it.
First, I think Elliott’s best [...]

For everyone (all 100,000 of you) who wanted more information on the song Genesis sings in Suicide Club, it’s called “Suicide Kiss.” You can download an MP3 here. Although the song is in Japanese, I found a translation of it (though I can’t figure out how to permalink to the post, damnit!!). I love that [...]
