Were We Leaves

karinanotcinerina: Were we leaves, I would wait with you among wet branches, fall by you on soft lawns, laugh alongside you in laconic breezes and cry for you beside cold puddles. Were we leaves, I would chase you on skittering winds, tumble skyward with you above Texas towns, lay with you in the coldest canyons and touch you along your brittlest edges. - Jac Darznieks, for his friend...

GEEK OUT WITH YOUR FREAK OUT →

This is a link to my whole Flickr set on San Diego Comic-Con. So few pictures were taken with the iPhone this year since I had my AMAZING camera (Panasonic Lumix GF-1) and the internet at SDCC so crappy, I wasn’t able to live Tumblr this year. However, I will probably post individual shots and make some prosaic commentary on how exhausting and awful and great and terrible SDCC is. Also...

Harry Potter: The Legendary Experience

This week I saw all 8 Harry Potter movies, two at a time - 6:00 and 9:00 showings, except the last night which was 9:00 and midnight. We had the same theatre in the far corner of a mall-based 20-plex, fancy badges on lanyards, and wiggling enthusiasm. My friend Kymm, who was my HP dealer in 2001 when the movie was about to come out and I borrowed the book from her, and her friend Kate who was...

Westboro SDCC Protesters got PWND! →

Thanks to Pixelated Geek, I got to see awesome coverage of the counter-protesters (who had been referenced at W00tstock but I wasn’t sure if it was more Photoshop humor on their part) who got all up in WBC’s randomly targeted hatemongering with some awesome counterhatemongering of their own. I LOVE NERDS, dude.

Forgotten SDCC tidbit!

At the end of the Tron panel, the mediator (Patton Oswalt, randomly - well, I guess not that randomly, considering Ratatouille, but still) asked the Hall H crowd “What Disney movie would you most want to see remade?” and the audience really had a huge, loud, 6500 person soft spot for The Black Hole. Actually the press pit had a HUGE soft spot for The Black Hole and the audience in...
