Election: the Gathering
I would say "you may have seen that Something Awful recently posted a Comedy Goldmine of political-themed Magic cards," but realistically there's basically no chance that you, the person reading this entry, might have seen that.
So: Something Awful recently posted a Comedy Goldmine of political-themed Magic cards, based on a forum thread on that ( Read more... ) -
The Pie Room
I wasn't going to do one of these, because I didn't think I had any particular "style." But then I realized, to my chagrin, that I kind of do...

Clues
Over the past couple days, I have compiled a list:
bunny
coyote
dinosaur
dragon
fish
hippo
llama
owl
panda
puppy
sheep
snake
If you haven't yet seen this list, it may be a briefly entertaining puzzle to identify what the unifying theme is. Once you've got that, join me after the cut.

Les Miserables: a reaction and sort of review
We went to see the movie of Les Miserables last night, and boy do I have mixed feelings on it. Ultimately, I wouldn't recommend it to anybody who's not already a fan of the show (or at least of musical theater in general), but on the other hand many of my problems with the movie are actually problems with the show itself that the movie simply ( Read more... ) -

Go see Moonrise Kingdom
Here's what we knew about it before we decided we had to go see it ourselves: Moonrise Kingdom is a new Wes Anderson film about a boy and girl who run away from home together, pursued by her parents (Frances McDormand and Bill Murray), the scoutmaster (Edward Norton) and the police chief (Bruce Willis).

7 Things: My Favorite Video Games
This is a ridiculously broad topic, so I'm going to give out arbitrary titles, a la the Penny Arcade We're Right Awards. I'm also going to just straight-up avoid the games that you probably already know about and know you should play (Shadow of the Colossus, Diablo n, Psychonauts, Okami, Red Dead Redemption, etc.)

7 Things: My High School Life
I touched on this briefly before, but in general my high school life was pretty awesome. Not as deep or as rich as my college life, to be sure, because I wasn't as sophisticated or generally as mature a person, but I really don't have any complaints about how it went. I'm not going to try and construct an overall narrative here, then, but just ( Read more... ) -
7 Things: What sort of webcomic I'd make
As Alexa reminded me, I almost did make a webcomic, back in college, but we can all breathe a sigh of relief that it never came to anything. In the spirit of The Last Days of Foxhound, a few of us were tossing around gags for the hypothetical "Last Days of Ohtori," which of course would focus on everything that happened before Utena showed up. I ( Read more... )
