Yes I'm quite late. No, it's not likely to get read. But here you go anyway.


Because Flickr Uploadr was having some kind of issue, the photos are NOT in order in the photostream; you must use the Set navigation.

( Wednesy: Preview Night )

( Thursday: EW Women; Burn Notice; Psych )

( Friday: WB; Disney/Pixar+Miyazaki; 9+signing; Flynn's Arcade )

( Saturday: Lost; Solomon Kane; Extract; Zombieland; Iron Man 2; Human Target/Vamp. Diaries; Mythbusters )

( Sunday/Wrapup )

I thought maybe I'd get to more today but . . . didn't. Still almost awake but I have to be up again in 6 hours to go get second blood draw (same thing on Saturday), not counting alarm to take the medication that's part of the test . . . fun times. Have some videos from a saved file meanwhile. Though briefly thanks to people who have been supporting me, with the increasing pile of sh*t I'm under . . . don't know what I'd do without your help.

Definitely watch Oktapodi - it's very short and the animation is deathly cute. And I'm not just saying that because I'm obsessed with octopi.

Meh I'm really anxious tonight since I hopefully will hear about my test results tomorrow. :< Anyway figured I should post this so I can at least provide OTHER people with some angst-free distraction; holy backlog, Batman. Been working on this saved file for months. :P

( Simon Pegg's next movie )

( three easy-reading book recommendations )

( two movies with amazing visuals )

( film festival movies )

( four terribly cool animated shorts )

|+| Suddenly it occurs to me that the Twilight craze has gotten to the point that it will affect my Flickr tagging. D: Here's to people searching for "sparkly vampire" and coming up with "container ship" . . .

|+| Speaking of Flickr, tagging drives me batty. There isn't any good advice on how to do it well. The whole group spamming thing can get dumb also . . . though I'm disappointed there are no real costuming photo pools. (Fat white booty? Dogs on roofs? Yes.) Tempting to start one but probably no one would join. :|

|+| Your useless information for the day: apparently when referring to a certain amphibian, it used to be "an ewt" . . . not "a newt".

|+| Been watching random "educational" TV on Natgeo. (Most of it is too busy being melodramatic to have much content.) Accidentally gave out correct information about on a show on Unknown Man E regarding where he was found and why, several minutes before it was in the voice over. Reminded me I used to know stuff, largely because I used to learn stuff. Apparently may still have some brain cells intact . . . :<

|+| spiders in space. Also, bored octopus takes up bad habits: like juggling.

|+| Depressed penguins need Suntory beer; amusing Russian animation, minimal or no dialogue: "Rain Down From Above"; it sucks to be a cat in Russia; jungle love (character design SO CUTE); wayward fishermen (and a hamster).

Hah, I knew there was a reason I never do memes. Oh well lol. Substantive post is upcoming, I'm almost done with my NYCC report but I "have" to watch Lost. Also I heard from the doctor's office about the liver biopsy (after I called) - they had to send the tests out of state.

Please put on appropriate safety gear while I have a fangirl moment. OMFG. Adam and Jamie from Mythbusters are guesting on CSI: next week. Apparently it involves tinfoil hats and flaming mannequins. I knew there was a reason to live. At least until Thursday night at 8PM CST (CBS). If you don't watch CSI, when they do silly, it's pretty amazing.

Also, have an encouragement video, courtesy of vintage Sesame Street, which I was inspired to track down by the very awesome Paper Children fad thing on deviantART. Have I posted this before? Classic animation work, anyway.

I originally would have posted this to doodledawdle but I decided I spent too much time on it for it to qualify as a doodle.

( giant robots need therapy too )

( really cool stop-motion PV )

I guess it's not relevant to anyone else, but I'm going to visit my brother in NYC in April. It just so happens that I have tickets to a concert there that weekend. What a coincidence . . .

And yes, just in case anyone was wondering - Katsucon is out. Nowhere to stay. I've sworn off solo hotel rooms for both financial and psychological reasons. Sorry.
