FYI… for those of you who care about such things, the new Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix trailer will officially go live online tomorrow at the Happy Feet site. But if you’re not patient for tomorrow, there are a couple bootleg versions at YouTube… http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MxmTaCnuMPA

Yesterday, we went to see Lulu at the Victoria Theatre. The show recreates silent film on stage. Intense makeup and costumes coupled with harsh stage lighting gave the effect of black and white film, the actors pantomimed everything and the only sounds was the original piano score, dialogue is created by flashing text onto a [...]

Since last weekend had me in bed with the plague, I’m feeling especially anxious to get out and cause some trouble this weekend. But before I head out on the town, I just wanted to take a moment and mention how great the new Anita Blake Vampire Hunter comic book series is. I know I’ve [...]

Many things I’d like to talk about, but we’ll do this in brief form. Pakistan moves closer to women’s rights. Interesting that the issue of whether or not a woman should have to provide 4 male witnesses to prove that she was raped (and therefore, not an adulteress subject to prosecution, torture and/or death) is [...]

Specifically, we were trying to recognize the 10+ year history of our organization and marking a symbolic shift into a new direction as an organization.

Okay, so spoilerific observations, but the clues are there… In the opening segment, Charlie the waitress refers to getting the Japanese phrase book for her birthday, “about 6 months ago.” In another scene, right after Eden whispers sweet nothings into Issac’s ear, we see the picture of her, alone, on her birthday tacked to the [...]

I loved tonight’s episode of Heroes. Although, in that early scene between Mohinder and the university administrator, I swear Mohinder was postively radiating gay subtext. You’re wrong, Mohinder. You have a power, too. In time you’ll learn to use it as I have. The specialness runs strong in my family. My husband had it. You [...]

Well, I’m starting to feel human again, and work didn’t completely drain me. Unfortunately, I have take-home projects to catch up as a result of my two days in bed. One of my coworkers noticed that during lunch today, author/linguist/progressive George Lakoff (Don’t Think of an Elephant) was speaking at Stacey’s books just across Market [...]

TOKYO: Tibet’s exiled spiritual leader the Dalai Lama appealed on Sunday for Saddam Hussein’s life to be spared, saying the deposed Iraqi president was not beyond redemption. “The death penalty is said to fulfill a preventive function, yet it is clearly a form of revenge,” the Nobel peace laureate told reporters as he ended a [...]

So I finally started reading The God Delusion by Richard Dawkins today. Very persuasive book, and I may go ahead a declare myself an atheist by the time I get to the end. I certainly will be a lot less inclined to give any credence to intelligent design or creationist arguments in the future (not [...]
