random rant arranged in a semi-list
let's start with a random quote:
"If Juliet was stupid enough to fall for the enemy, drink a bottle of poison and go to sleep in a mausoleum… she deserved whatever she got." Meredith Grey
and now the awesome stuff I stumbled upon lately due to the amazing people here on lj:)
· genesis of a music piece
this is an amazing inside look on the evolutions of the hauntingly beautiful emmy award nominated theme for Stargate Atlantis which sold the series as a worthy companion of Stargate SG-1.
· Bear McCreary Battlestar Galactica BLOG
for the last 4 weeks this proved to be a worthy read, providing much insight into making of a television series. this is on my must-do list after watching a new BSG ep each Sunday morning together with RDM's podcast.
· MIT student prank
damn, are those guys inventive!! brilliant!!
· book on LF Nikita
if only I had some extra cach... *sigh*
· 6-word stories
here's the 411: Hemingway once wrote a story in just six words ("For sale: baby shoes, never worn.") and is said to have called it his best work.
there's quite a lot of'em. but they all provide a good read. I've chose the ones I think most unique. I have to confess though, that I may be biased, because I like Joss' the most:)
6-words masterpieces by authors from all around the genre:
"Computer, did we bring batteries? Computer?" Eileen Gunn
"Gown removed carelessly. Head, less so." Joss Whedon
"Epitaph: Foolish humans, never escaped Earth." Vernor Vinge
"K.I.A. Baghdad, Aged 18 - Closed Casket" Richard K. Morgan
"Nevertheless, he tried a third time." James P. Blaylock
