Pulling the starter cord of my brain
I have lots of email to write, but the brain doesn’t work well before 9am. (Who am I kidding? If it ever works well at all, it certainly isn’t before noon.) So I am journalling instead.
I had no idea that Diane Duane wrote episodes of Transformers and Batman: TAS. This awards her bonus cool points.
nviiibrown linked The Ultimate Showdown of Ultimate Destiny before I got around to it, but I’m doing so anyway ’cause I was gonna and ’cause the line about “Bill S. Preston and Theodore Logan” is stuck in my head and will not come out.
Foo. It looks like this is as coherent as I’m gonna get for the moment.
Over-revved
12-hour shift last night, the last 3 hours of which were performed in ‘panic mode’. Errrrgh. If I’m 5 or 10 minutes late this morning, somehow I won’t feel too guilty.
Here’s a movie for you – Rendezvous. 140 mph though the streets of 1978 Paris with no permits or permission, and an early gyro-stabilized camera mounted on the hood.
Harry Potter and the Dancers of Solid Gold
Found this in a comment on Kaja Foglio’s LiveJournal.

Get some green colour
Cute flash animation, with a dangerously catchy tune. A little unpolished, but it’s not like I could do better.
Re-Animator! The Song and The Animation

EDIT: I’ve discovered the creator. This is her LJ post about her creation.
Katamari Taters
After reading about the fun that kittykatya, eeedge, jsciv and impink are having, I put a copy of Katamari Damacy (PS2) on my Wish List, and raininva bought it for my birthday. This game is incredibly surreal and trippy, and has that wonderful “let me just try this level one more time” quality. The player must rebuild stars by rolling together clumps of loose objects on Earth – you have to try it out to understand it. Highly recommended.
Finished watching the Brent Spiner episodes of Enterprise. Pretty good overall, with the last episode the strongest. Despite its enjoyability, the arc hit some of the most tiresome cliches in Star Trek: “it only takes five guys to take over a Starfleet vessel”, “with the fate of humanity at stake, we’ll nevertheless give the bad guys all the access codes they want if they threaten one of the show’s stars”, “the Enterprise isn’t worth diddly in a real fight unless the heroes know their opponent’s Secret Weak Point(tm)”. Yes, they all made sense in the story context, I’m just tired of seeing them again.
The Meyers-Briggs-Trek personality test says that I’m an INFP, much like Kes or Elim Garak. Rain’s response was “Garak? Eww! Well… hm. Actually…”
“Boil ’em, mash ’em, stick ’em in a stew…” – Sam Gamgee rapping about taters.

It’s worse because one of my co-workers is named Trevor. I’ve made sure to send him the link 🙂
Foamy Flash A-Kon
A little bit of Flash video, where Foamy the Squirrel of Ill Will Press opens the recent A-Kon 15 anime con.
(Parts of this may offend some folks. I think that’s what the animator was going for.)
