The Impossible E
We’re singing some funky American earth hymnals in choir. It’s like taking boring old Jesus songs, booting Jesus the fuck out, and then adding trees and swans instead. Music is much better when it has trees than Jesus. Sorry Jesus, nothing personal, but you’re a bit of a tired instrument, y’know? I’d say it’s not you, but…it is ( Read more... ) -
Commonly Known As Awesome
I saw a Delorean on Parramatta Road the other day, and texted my housemate excitedly to let her know that I saw a Delorean on Parramatta Road, and she didn't think it was a big deal. Sometimes, I think that people forget important things, like the fact that Deloreans are cool. -
Batman Recut
The original 1989 Batman trailer, though it holds a special place in my heart (as it is, of course, one of my all-time favourite movies, and therefore can do no wrong) is not, I must confess, a marvel of cinematic genius. Half the trailer works, and half of it just leaves me wondering what the blazes the people in the editing suites were thinking ( Read more... ) -
A Rainy Ethos
I find weather patterns bewildering. Not in the way that the platypus leaves me confused (though it does), but in its fickleness. If I were the people in charge of the weather, I'd think it would be more useful to pick spots where the rain could fall harder (or weaker). For example: flooding a house that's already on an incline (my friend David's ( Read more... ) -
First Day of the Rest of Our Lives
Bit of an important day, today. Tis my last day on the job as a full-time casual. Come Monday, I'll officially be a salaried employee. Three years of busting my chops to become as fast, knowledgeable and efficient as is humanly possible within my company has led to this. It seems like it's worth noting, y'know? And the other full-time casuals on my ( Read more... ) -
Total Recall Redux
In honour of the upcoming Total Recall trailer launch, I did a bit of scouting around, to see what Recall fans thought of the upcoming remake, and came across this delightful little recut trailer, which is a vast improvement on the original trailer. Enjoy!

Surrendering to the Pen
Do you ever find yourself walking along a street, and suddenly, you just kinda, out of nowhere, know how the story you've been working on is then meant to work? That the narrative roadblock you've been struggling to overcome has just been, well, fixed? Told a friend I'd write them a story, and now it's turning into something that could be a ( Read more... ) -

The Master of the Force himself, Timothy Zahn, has a new Star Wars novel coming out, set during the classic era of Star Wars, called Star Wars: Scoundrels. Here's a synopsis for all interested parties ( Read more... ) -
Starbucks Tried to Help the World
How? By upsetting the right people, and aligning themselves with the right ones. As stated by a friend over in the UK:
Starbucks stood up for gay rights, and now the Nat'l Organization for Marriage is threatening them with a right-wing boycott in 55 countries. Can we get a ton more people to thank Starbucks as NOM Is getting to boycott them ( Read more... ) -
