I think my mask of sanity is about to slip
once again my lazy base nature has strapped me to my couch for the last three weeks…
and what an eventful three weeks it has been, my sister’s birth day, a good Star Wars prequel , my mini vacation(during which I did just more than nothing) and read three books(a record for me)
I’ve been teasing gnut by taking the mask off and whining about how Obi Wan doesn’t under stand me. he doesn’t get it but he will eventually…
as with any good american pounds mean nothing to me. so I hunted down a currency exchange calculator, and it turns out £6.99 is about $12.67. so a £19.99 dvd plus £4 shipping can be a calculating pain and almost fifty bucks.
this all leads into my next subject…
bravo showed a couple of episodes and I managed to catch a couple of other episodes elsewhere. so a few weeks ago I broke down and bought the region 2 dvd off of amazon.co.uk. £21.99.
this is basically a show about a bunch of twenty-somethings that are fully entrenched in sci-fi and movie culture. I managed to get most of the movie references as most are from movies I had cultishly watched and hunted down my self. it is the craziest 7 hours of tv
it’s hard to describe as a show, and when I have time I’ll probably do a really well crafted description. but probably not, I’m a lazy bastard, and unless you’ve got a region 2 dvd play I can’t even lend it out.
altonbrown.com – website for the most informative tv cook since gareth blackstock.
bruce-campbell.com – website for the greatest American actor, ever!
tedraimi.com – a pretty good website for the second hardest working actor in b-movies.
Spaced – fan run website for Spaced lot’s of info and extras for the sitcom, plus a homage guide for people to cool to get the allusions.
Dominic Deegan – the first webcomic I really started following and since it is now a daily comic I wake up to a new comic everyday. go back to the beginning and read all the back comics and you’ll get hooked too.
Bunny – also a daily, this one panel comic focuses on a mostly silent bunny that with a warped sense of humor
Instant Classic – this one is pretty new to me, I just started reading and it doesn’t get a regular update, but it has a great outlook on the world a movies and movie making and good character interaction. read the prologue to get the basics.
DeviantArt – every type of art you could think of: written, drawn, computer generated and of all styles. set up a free account and surf the multitudes.
Alamo Drafthouse – the main page for the only real way to see all the really good cult films in Austin when you can’t or won’t afford the membership fee for the AFS.

Darth Tattermonths ago I put a link to something I saw on cnn.com and then about two weeks ago at my sisters birthday party I got a gift of this amazing Darth Tatter.

coffee tablesomething I had been meaning to show off, because my older sister almost never comes does to Austin to see her brother. I like it and it let me pull my comics off the top of my bookshelf, and I can also display my dogma and mallrats in-action figures. also I would have candy in my candy bowl, but I had some bastard ants decided they could take over my peach flavored candies, and I had to toss them out. damn ants…
$ for £I don’t like US tv, in the last five years there has only been three shows I had any interest in watching. Firefly and Enterprise have both been cancelled and Good Eats just doesn’t put out new episodes often enough. so I got into british tv, the bbc does finance some really good television. but it is hard to see all the really good stuff, because they do have to edit the shows to suit american tv so I have start checking out amazon.co.uk for dvd versions of the show I had come to enjoy, here’s the crux: amazon.co.uk only has prices in pounds.

Spacedlast year I was introduced to a little foreign flick called Shaun of the Dead. and after see the Dawn of the Dead remake I wasn’t too sure what to expect. Shaun is by far the funniest movie that I had seen in a long time. I got the dvd and the commentary mentioned the sitcom that the writer and director had worked on be for Shaun. the sitcom was called Spaced.

IZthe most moving version of Somewhere Over the Rainbow ever, and I know that I’m about a decade behind on this one, but I haven’t watched network tv since about the time DS9 started so my knowledge of modern music is limited to alternative, angry white-boy rock and enya. so a huge hawaiian and a ukulele has ‘til now stayed under the radar. I now have the CD and listen to it all the time.
go here…alright as the summer is opening up people will start having more time to do the important things in life. so after you scout out your favorite porn sites here are a few other sites that make the internet worth keeping around.
