The Daily Show: Don’t you think he looks tired?
That’ll put marzipan in your pie plate bingo! Learn to speak English with Joss Whedon and the BBC.
Season oneish/28-ish of the new Dr Who premieres in America on the Sci-Fi Channel tonight at 9/8c! Here’s Alanna’s list of Six Reasons to Watch.
*jives*
I am pleased to inform you that your film, “Zeyen & Nazia” has been accepted into this year’s Ivy Film Festival. After careful deliberation, out of nearly 200 applicants, 36 films were selected, all of which feature an extraordinary level of craft and ambition. (etc)
Yeah, we kind of rock.
WOO! Got an A on my Crime Cinema paper, worth %30 of my grade.
And as for the tapenade? It’s not fancy if you get it from a jar. It is, however, delicious.
I so win at college student cooking. Penne with alfredo sauce + kalamata olives + sun-dried tomato tapenade. I am ded from delicious!
Whedonesque fails for not informing me that Adam Baldwin was on Bones last night. Of course, it’s probably a good thing I didn’t know to watch it. Given the number of people on my flist that love the show, I don’t want to risk finding another show I might want to watch on a regular basis. :D
Umm… Happy 35th Birthday to Alan Tudyk!
Luke Skywalker, the early years? Dude, all Luke did in his early years was whine about not being allowed to go to the Academy, whine about not being able to visit the Tosche Station Radio Shack, shoot vermin from his hovercar, get bad haircuts, farm moisture, drink blue milk, and get his butt kicked by Sand People. Such does not good drama make, much less Star Wars drama. Luke doesn’t even know what a lightsaber is until ANH! You can’t make him “cool”, because he has to grow up into the farmboy we meet in Episode 4. He’s still got to be at Major Arcana Square One.
I can’t agree more with the author’s final comment: “It may well be that the world is hungry for more space opera. In which case, we can’t help but think that resurrecting Firefly might be a better option.”
One Got Fat, a highly disturbing and rather hilarious bike safety video from the 60s.
And Lieberman wins the Bill Napoli Golden Coathanger Award:
In Connecticut, rape counseling activists say a recent study concludes that about 20% of state hospitals routinely refuse to offer emergency contraceptives to rape victims who are determined to be ovulating at the time they’re attacked. A proposed bill would require them to do so.
Lieberman said he believes hospitals that refuse to give contraceptives to rape victims for “principled reasons” shouldn’t be forced to do so. “In Connecticut, it shouldn’t take more than a short ride to get to another hospital,” he said.
What a creep. Whatever happened to “First, do no harm”? A doctor should be a doctor first and foremost, not an evangelist. Change parties already, Lieberman!
And dude. Regarding my cough, I just realized that I had it when Little Shop was cancelled on 2/8, and that I’d had it nearly a week beforehand. Therefore, I’ve had it 5 1/2-6 weeks, a week longer than I’d previously thought. I have an appointment with Student Health this afternoon to make sure I don’t have anything more serious.
I love the Geico gecko, but what’s his accent supposed to be? Ko an I are flummoxed. Australian upper class?
Keith Olberman on The Colbert Report makes me a happy Cellie. His occasional bits on Crooks and Liars are worth a smile, if not a great, appreciative guffaw.
Pat Robertson continues to be an idiot. Instead, I will think about his nominal spoonerism, Robert Pattinson, who is hilariously ridiculous, but at least pretty. Or I could look at these new James-Marsters-on-Smallville photos, but Mars Jamesinters isn’t a person. And I think I need to go to sleep before I write something else I’ll go “wha??” about in the morning.
Also surreal is this month’s The Onion horoscope for Saggitarius:
Despite the niggling feeling that you require medical attention, you will continue to leave the symptoms of schizophrenia untreated this week after management at Pixar awards you yet another raise for the facility and inventiveness with which you anthropomorphize inanimate objects.
