random + linkdump

linkdump is such an ugly word. Look at this cool thing, though!



it comes from this very cool page, which i found on buried_in_green.

Also, while researching the frogmouth, i discovered this:



Are you kidding me? how can that possibly exist? more here.

We saw the movie 'Daywatch" and this was my netflix note about it: "This second part of Russia's impressive but overrated fantasy trilogy is better than the first. When it's not confusing, it's very fun. It's confusing a lot of the time." i suspect, like 'Bladerunner' that it only makes sense if you've read the book.

i poured some coffee into the laptop yesterday morning (about an hour before i got to work and discovered i left a co2 tank open, wasting it all--i rule!) so the left hand shift key doesn't work. That's why all my right hand capitals are small. not because i have low self-esteem (but, you know, i do anyway).



Finally, if i participated in something called "BOWLING FOR RHINOS" would you support me?

i'll have more details soon, but the gist of it is, i bowl, other people give me money, i give the money to the charity that protects rhinos and rhino habitat. i haven't figured out if i should ask for pledges by the frame, with bonuses for spares or (ha!) strikes (it's candlepin, so strikes are rare to shockingly rare) or if i should just ask for regular old donations. hopefully the person coordinating it at work will give me more info about it today--the event is a week from Friday!

New Soylent Screen Up!

Hey, this time around I reviewed an absurdist Czech movie, based on a fairy tale, about a hideous chunk of root brought to life as a voracious infant that eats everything, including the frightening Eastern European cuisine that the camera lingers on, horribly. It's called "Little Otik," or "Otesanek" ("Greedy Guts") and was directed by stop-motion animation whiz Jan Svankmajer, and you can read my review on Blood, Blade, and Thruster.

On this day in 365 Urban Species: Tomato. Yes, tomato.
