Huzzah! In celebration of sitting at my own desk, using my own computer, for the first time in many days, I bring you tons of useless links and miscellany. Huzzah! First off, “What goes bang, thud, bang, thud, bang, thud, … Continue reading → Continue reading →

Get up, come on get down with the geekness!

Posted on January 4, 2006 by Solonor

I understand and accept my geekitude by doing goofy things like running a fantasy computer baseball league, ranking Dr. Demento songs, creating Oscar do-over polls, cataloguing banned books, etc., but every once in a while, it’s nice to wander around … Continue reading → Continue reading →

Buh-bye, 2005

Posted on January 2, 2006 by Solonor

I started to do a list of blog highlights for 2005, but this was the year when I pretty much gave up blogging anything of substance. The blog went back to its roots of being a brain dump of links … Continue reading → Continue reading →

Posted on December 12, 2005 by Solonor

We went to see The Chronicles of Narnia: The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe at a very late showing on Friday night (got home around 2am). It was very nicely done. I think it will be one of those … Continue reading → Continue reading →

Goblet of Fire

Posted on November 20, 2005 by Solonor

This installment of Harry Potter, in case you don’t already know yourself, is great. I thought the beginning was a little rushed, and I wasn’t completely happy with the ending (it varies from the book a great deal, I think). … Continue reading → Continue reading →

Curse of the Were-Rabbit

Posted on October 10, 2005 by Solonor

Ah, yes, Wallace & Gromit: The Curse of the Were-Rabbit was everything I hoped it would be. It was cute. It was punny. It wasn’t bowdlerized by Hollywood execs. It made me want to dig up the old W&G tapes … Continue reading → Continue reading →

Something wicked this way hops…

Come on… time to robot!

Posted on September 25, 2005 by Solonor

We went to see Madagascar again tonight (have I ever mentioned how much I adore the dollar theaters?). This is the third time for the Mrs and me, and the second for Pepperkat, but Whiny still hadn’t seen it. And … Continue reading → Continue reading →

Corpse Bride

Posted on September 24, 2005 by Solonor

I think I can sum up my feelings about Corpse Bride in one word: disappointing. Yes, the visuals are stunning, and it is a technological marvel. You could easily mistake it for computer animation, rather than old-fashioned stop-motion. But the … Continue reading → Continue reading →

Posted on September 6, 2005 by Solonor

Have to get that last bit off the top of my blog. You’ll be glad to know that the “all Katrina all the time” show is about over here. Not that we’ll be forgetting about those that need help, but … Continue reading → Continue reading →
