Metropolis and Hiroshima

Friday, March 15, 2002

I saw the anime Metropolis the other day and I have a lot of thoughts that relate to it, but I’ve been revising a review for moviesareawful.com for three days now and it still isn’t coming together. Let me just say this: my eyes were in Art Deco heaven; the soundtrack uses a jazz repertoire […]

Leavin’ weather.

Thursday, March 14, 2002

Sometime this morning I woke up fevered from another nuclear holocaust dream. Sometime last week my neighbor got robbed. Sometime tonight I have to take out the garbage; I don’t think I’m gonna even though it’s spilling over the rim of the can; I’ve been sleepwalking through work so bad I didn’t even recognize the […]

A Reason To Call For The Separation of Church, State, and Entertainment

Tuesday, March 5, 2002

Am I the only one to whom the song Attorney General John Ashcroft wrote and which he is apparently trying to force his staff to sing bear more than a passing resemblance to “Eyes of a Child,” the final credits song from the South Park movie? This coincidence might be eerie (John I-don’t-want-to-hear-nuthin-bout-not-birthin-no-babies Ashcroft watched […]

Oooh… Capatown!

I’ve posted my first review to Neil’s site, movies are awful (formerly movies show limited promise). Should show up in a while, pending approval. If you’re leftier than me, don’t read it. If you like trashy campy films, go for it.

Jesus Christ, this is news?!

Thursday, February 28, 2002

I can’t believe this story on AOL’s news ticker. Yes, Nixon wanted to nuke North Vietnam, but this isn’t “news” — I sat in the Hampshire dining commons four years ago and listened to Daniel Ellsberg tell us the exact same thing; it’s not new, it’s not a revelation at all. If that’s news, the […]

White Collar Crimes

Thursday, February 28, 2002

The rule in my house was you do your homework first, and then play. So I learned to steal time from myself.

YOU SEEM TO BE HAVING AN ALLERGIC REACTION TO MANNA

Tuesday, February 26, 2002

Somehow I thought the market for stupid cartoons had dried up. I mean, before September 11th we had a nearly-inexhaustible reservoir of postmodern angst. I didn’t think anyone was buying Family Circus-style comics for anything aside from camp value. But Reverend Fun claims to have been “too popular to remain on the Internet,” and actually […]

I’m becoming the person my geek friends hate.

Monday, February 25, 2002

This morning Lee Spector, best-quality-finest-kind artificial intelligence professor at Hampshire, sent out a note requesting that alumns working in technology drop him a line. Apparently, the college wants to list its techie alumns on its website in order to convince the young people they are trying to lure into wasting four years that Hampshire is […]

Sucks To Be You, Andrews!

Wednesday, February 20, 2002

So yesterday James asks me why my blog is blue and white… knowing full well it wasn’t, I duly freaked out. Turns out all my files were moved to yada, and thus into the maw of my formerly dormant Moveable Type blog. So here we are, in a sterile layout I won’t stick with if […]
