Tim Burton's first stop-animated film, Vincent, has been one of my favorite short films ever since I saw it. And now it's available online, hurrah!
Watch, my macabre and twisted friends, and be amused.

Background: Wade and Nancy, my supervisor, are married.
Wade: You alright? You look worried.
Me: I think so. But apparently the Bank of America people think I have a $2900 balance on my card for no discernable reason.
Wade: Did you let Nancy borrow your credit card? Heck, that's not bad. [...]
Some semi-coherent thoughts on the nature of humans and information

I came across this article while doing some more-or-less random linksurfing, and am posting the link here. The main premise (that even though people know reality TV isn't real it still affects them) comes as no great surprise, but one of his sub-points really caught my attention. Specifically, when he talks about how [...]

Excerpts from IM conversations today:
Brian: Hmm. The Nintendo Revolution (which I thought was an awesome name) is now the Nintendo Wii.
Me: “Wii”?
Brian: Yep. As in, “tip the Wii out of Billy's shoes.”
…
Brian: I just realized something. “Nintendo Wii”, or in abbreviate-speak: “N Wii.”
So I made a pie last night…

…and as a result, I'm only just now awake enough to blog about it – I've been in Happy-Fun-Grog-Land for the last three hours or so, due mostly to pie-related stress and being up well past my bedtime. But let me back up somewhat.
First, as I mentioned recently, Brian has been wanting an apple [...]

…or more specifically, how it's affected my perception of my life.
Some of you may have noticed something of a blandness to my entries of late; I have things that I enjoy and things that I get excited about, sure, but as a general rule my life has settled into a pretty comfortable rut. I'm [...]
I feel cheated…

Along about 4:00 this afternoon, I was seized by a craving for a Klondike bar. In a way it was a childhood-nostalgia thing, even though I only ever had one or two over the course of my childhood; however, the fact that I hadn't had one since my childhood seems to mean it qualifies. [...]
The boring, everyday kinds of things…

Despite the predictions of various suicide cults and doomsday pundits, life continues in pretty much the same vein as before. Brian and I have been tackling Guitar Hero lately, which is a game sort of like Dance Dance Revolution with a guitar – takes a fair amount of coordination and rhythm skill. Not [...]
Oh man, the guilt…

So Brian's got the gastroenteritis bug now – and on top of that, he's in Sitka so I can't even take care of him. Poor boy had the same thing happen – roundabout 9:00 last night the vomiting started, and by now it's mostly quit but he can't move around much. He wasn't [...]

There was a man panhandling on the street corner downtown when I went to get a sandwich for lunch. He asked if I had any change, and I (truthfully) told him that I didn't. However, I bought him a BLT from the coffeehouse where I got my sandwich and gave it to him.
