netflix

Taking advantage of a free trial right now.

I'm liking the 'watch now' streaming video thing. The selection isn't huge, but I won't look complete runs of Kolchak the Night Stalker and Johnny Sokko & His Flying Robot in the mouth.

And the documentary section is outstanding.
We screened Hiding and Seeking last night. The production had a very casual home movie feel, but it packed a mighty punch.

I really liked the music, which was incongruously excellent for such a shoestring production. Turns out it was composed by avant jazz maniac John Zorn, and the band had Marc Ribot & Trevor Dunn in it. Wild!

fun with baby name books

last night's winners-

Dagmar

Cherokee

And my addition, presuming mixed sex twins, Comanche.

Cherokee & Comanche O'Farrell....can you feel it?


Also, Blodwyn is the new Emma.

Winterbells

cute xmas-y flash game.

I suck at it, as I do all flash games, but it's a fun time waster.

good news

Real news, not the usual bloggorhea.

Erin is six weeks pregnant, Hallelujah!


It was supposed to be under wraps until xmas, but the sound of her keeping a secret makes dogs howl for miles around and it wasn't long until people followed suit.
Arguably an even worse liar than secret-keeper, she fessed up to her nearest and dearest and now the ponies are out of the corral and trampling the carrot patch.

Address congrats to her facebook, which other than the iPod is the only technological achievement of the last 30 years that fails to excite her murderous rage.

there is a god

Hearts of Darkness finally available on DVD.

Best 'making of' documentary of all time, narrowly beating out Burden of Dreams, which started strong but faded when Les Blank ran out of money during the interminable production time.

sanity

Now this is how you fight piracy.

Some folk are finally getting the picture.

WE LOVE DEVRITSKO!

plz to watch more Black Books with us soon.

TIA.

in which we narrowly avoid being held hostage

By serial bank robber The Mutton Chop Bandit

Just before 3:00 p.m. this afternoon in downtown San Luis Obispo, a man wearing fake sideburns and a fake goatee calmly robbed a bank.

"He's around here somewhere," said one Central Coast resident, Lee Anderson.

This happened literally seconds after we made a deposit and left the bank.
