In a really spooky "plate of shrimp" turn of events, I had purchased a copy of the Forbidden Planet Blu-ray on sale earlier this week. Upon hearing of the passing of Leslie Nielsen, I thought long and hard about whether I wanted to post a picture of him from the Zucker/Abrahams/Zucker projects or from Forbidden Planet, which has great personal ( Read more... )

Work on the Lord of the Rings mix continues, though obviously at a slower pace with work and a tiny bit more of a social life. I knew when I started putting together some of my pre-mixes a few years ago that I would have to compromise some of my more ambitious ( Read more... )

• Last night a tornado swept through Queens. Okay, I know you read that, now read it again, because that's a pretty crazy sentence. I mean, seriously folks, don't we make fun of people who choose to live in Florida for crap like this ( Read more... )

• No, I have not seen the new version of The Prisoner yet (it's on iTunes the day after, however, so I'll catch up to it tonight), so I would appreciate no spoilers on the topic, thank you.
• As I live in the northern hemisphere of our planet, I'm not sure I'm all that comfortable with the idea of walking ( Read more... )

• As I mentioned in the edit to yesterday's entry, iRobby has thrown in the towel due to disc drive damage and I was forced to purchase an new iPod. Given that I'm replacing one 160 gig 6th Generation iPod Classic for another 160 gig 6th Generation iPod classic, the interface is identical and so the "Ooh, new ( Read more... )
