While we’re at it, I feel like I’ve been in the same boat as snooker for a while now - I just don’t have the willpower to not check this site as part of some boredom autopilot.

Make that three of us.

So long, snooker. May the zephyr take you high across the sky, butterfly (forgive me the poor poetry).

Plinkett cosplay.

In theory, I approve. In practice, I approve.

Iain McCaig and Doug Chiang should be working on new films, way too talented to be storyboarding or doing concept arts for novels and comic books.

I like the insinuation that novels/comics are inferior mediums to film.

Frankly, I’d love to read a comic drawn by McCaig/Chiang, and would prefer it over a movie. Wonder if either have considered delving into that artform.

Death by inundation or death by immolation? I’ll have to get back to you on that.

Jesus: Uncovering the Life, Teachings, and Relevance of a Religious Revolutionary (Marcus J. Borg)

IMHO, Borg makes a very compelling case for who the historical Jesus was and what his message really was about. Everyone who conflates conservative Christianity with Christianity in general — believers and non-believers alike — should read this for a new perspective.

The Star Wars Universe is a Lynchian hellscape of erratically diverging/converging timelines succumbing to false vacuum decay.

E. T. The Extra-Terrestrial is emotionally manipulative junk food.

Thanks for ruining art once again, capitalism.

Stargate: Rebellion (Bill McCay)

As a tie-in novel, and a tie-in novel to a movie as flawed as Stargate, no less, Rebellion certainly isn’t a masterpiece. Character development for the returning characters from the film is nonexistent; the terrestrial villains are all one-dimensional and interchangeable; and continuity with the movie is sloppy (Having read the film novelization, I can tell McCay had, too, but hadn’t watched the film itself prior to writing this book.). On the plus side, Hathor is a decent villainess (a little shortsighted, perhaps, but still far more effective and intimidating than her SG-1 counterpart); the insight into the inner workings of Ra’s empire was refreshing; and I much prefer McCay’s cynical depiction of the US military to the naive depiction of SG-1 & its spinoffs. I highly recommend it to fans of the movie who don’t care for SG-1/are interested in a more film-faithful continuation.

★★★★★★★☆☆☆

I thought getting a digital camera would reinvigorate my interest in photography. It’s certainly easier and more convenient than traditional photography. But there’re only so many hills and fields and trees and cloud formations and lakes I can take pictures of, in whatever communities I can visit, before they become monotonous and unstimulating. Because what I really want to take photos of are people, particularly women. And I don’t need an elaborate setup; an interesting looking girl in casual wear at an everyday location would be plenty for me to work with. But I don’t know anyone; I have no friends or acquaintances whom I could ask to model for me, and I haven’t the courage to approach perfect strangers. All this camera’s done is served as a reminder of how isolated and lonely I am.
