Geek lust: jackleg

Zubin Mehta, Israel Philharmonic - Beethoven, Symphony No. 5. God Damn it. I had most of the post written in another window and I copied it to post it here but in the meanwhile I copied something else to paste in the music entry and lost my post. Stupid Stupid Stupid. Sigh, I'll rewrite. Anyway, this post started out as a response to the previous jackleg post about Morgan Webb, but then I decided it grew long enough to stick it in its own entry. All of the woman in the Playboy poll. Sure, why not? Seen h...

On Joss Whedon...: jackleg

http://jackleg.livejournal.com/6659.html

Here's something Trav and I were discussing. Joss seems to have the same main character in all three of his shows- the insecure hero who is doing something that is technically wrong, but who is really working for the greater good. Had you noticed that? And now, I'm going to return to watching Firefly. Ah, bliss. Post a new comment. We will log you in after post. We will log you in after post. We will log you in after post.

Casting Decisions: jackleg

Who would play you in the movies or on TV? I'm thinking this guy. Anyway, who would play you on TV? Here's another question: Who would play one of your favorite actors in a biographical film? Who would play the part of Harrison Ford, or Tom Cruise, or Toshiro Mifune, or Cate Blanchette? Here's a real-life example: Jason Scott Lee played Bruce Lee (no relation) in Dragon: The Bruce Lee Story. Jennifer Love Hewitt played Audrey Hepburn. On TV Jim Carrey played Andy Kaufman. You get the picture.

Banned Books: jackleg

I also italicized tose I saw as movies and/or TV series. So it's cheating, in a way, but I do want to convay that I did encounter some of these stories in some medium, if not in a book. Scary Stories (Series) by Alvin Schwartz. These are the books with the spooky red, black, and white covers, right? Daddy’s Roommate by Michael Willhoite. I Know Why the Caged Bird Sings by Maya Angelou. The Chocolate War by Robert Cormier. The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn by Mark Twain. Of Mice and Men by John Steinbeck.

Kid's shows...: jackleg

http://jackleg.livejournal.com/7113.html

So lately Trav and I have been reminiscing about shows we loved as kids. Personally, I LOVED Sesame Street.I was madly in love with Grover, and The Count is just the shit. (ah-ONE-ah, ah-TWO-ah.) Both of us were also huge fans of Mr. Wizard. So here's the question: What was your favorite show as a kid? Post a new comment. We will log you in after post. We will log you in after post.

Productivity is COOL!: jackleg

http://jackleg.livejournal.com/4559.html

So I actually did stuff today. No shit! Here's what I did:. 1) went to class. THREE TIMES! 2) took a test. 3) turned in scholarship forms. 4) mailed in my dues/acceptance to Phi Kappa Phi honor society (yes, I know it sounds greek, but I don't have to pledge, screw you, it looks good on my grad school app.). Ok, so 5-8 are lame, but I did do SOME stuff! Oh, and in case you're a huge loser like me and you care, Morgan Webb of X-Play won the "hottest woman of Tech TV" poll. Rock on, Morgan!

A truly great quote.: jackleg

http://jackleg.livejournal.com/4334.html

Johnny Cash - Wreck of the Old 97. A truly great quote. This is one of my favorite quotes EVER, bar none. I wanted to share it with you. Robert A. Heinlien, Stranger in a Strange Land. I love that book. I highly, highly recommend reading it. Give it a shot. Post a new comment. We will log you in after post. We will log you in after post. We will log you in after post.

Those silly Japanese: jackleg

http://jackleg.livejournal.com/5116.html

If any of you out there are fans of Penny Arcade and all (or some) things Japanese you should check out the Penny Acrade Remix Project. It's what you get "when an English teacher in Japan prints out a bunch of PA strips with blank word bubbles and asks his students to fill them in." It's . odd. And sometimes truly amusing.
