Amy cheats on the top-ten-movies meme- June 24, 2008 Geof, I'm answering your meme, but I'm cheating in doing so. The request: list your top ten favorite films (in no particular order). if you're tagged, you've got to post and tag 3-5 other people. give a tag back (some link love) to the one who tagged you in your post (Geof) give a hat tip (HT) to Dan, whoever he is I'm cheating because, technically, I'm not listing ten separate films. <!--break-- Standalone movies Princess and the Warrior (Der Krieger und die Kaiserin) I like Tom Tykwer's.http://domesticat.net/node/1513 Girl Talk is eating my brain- June 23, 2008 This album is madness and I feel like inflicting it on as many people as possible. New album: Girl Talk's "Feed the Animals." Adam described it as what happens when all of the music you've liked in the past 30 years gets in a room and has a giant mashup orgy. It's an accurate description. You can get it online at illegal-art, his label. $5 for all the mp3s in the album, $10 for flac, another $3 for having a physical CD shipped to you when they're pressed. Or go listen to it on myspace. ...http://domesticat.net/node/1512 Can I have my wordle on a shirt- June 21, 2008 I took a snapshot of my Wordle, which is a neat, artistic representation of my tags on del.icio.us: See full-size version on flickr That would make an awesome shirt... Spotted thanks to Angel.http://domesticat.net/node/1511 Eyes and updates- June 18, 2008 The good news is that my retinas are okay. The bad news None really; my vision is stable for the second year in a row and my eyes are fine. I'll call that a win in just about any playbook. I had a scary incident a few weeks ago. The vision in the central portion of my right eye blurred and began to do what I can only describe as 'sparkle.' There was no pain and no other change, just an area the shape of a crescent moon in my central field of vision that was strangely prismatic. It went...http://domesticat.net/node/1510 Your red shirt is a flotation device- June 16, 2008 At long last, it's happened -- the final two drupal modules I've been hoping would be upgraded to version 6.x have received those upgrades. I am now making preparations to make the major leap from drupal version 5.x to 6.x. In the tradition of all upgrades, this is surely going to cause cat.net to explode. However, better cat.net than my workplace's site. Fewer of you are likely to call my house in outrage. At least, I'd like to think that's the kind of relationship we have, right More...http://domesticat.net/node/1509 Photos from Burritt Museum- June 15, 2008 I hauled myself out of the house on a gorgeous, clear Father's Day and drove to the eastern side of Huntsville for an afternoon of photography. Photos after the cut, so as not to make my entire front page explode. Full set is available on flickr as usual. My two favorites: Photo: 'Table and chairs'' Photo: 'Shotgun breezeway, Burritt Museum'' I'm still frustrated with my outdoor shots. I see the potential of the wide-angle 20mm lens, but I realize I'm not getting it yet. I'd say that my...http://domesticat.net/node/1508 What is true of reservoirs- June 15, 2008 One a.m. "This is a good life," I whisper to myself. I'm not certain I always believe it, but tonight I think I do. Stephen's DCTV shoot was today; I got up this morning and headed cross-town with Jeff for a taping of scenes for a live-action version of 'Code Monkey.' I tired rapidly in the latter half of the shoot, and was grateful when Stephen rearranged the shoot order to get the backing band (read: Jeff, among others) finished up. Dinner was at 5:30 at Stephen and Misty's. We didn't get..http://domesticat.net/node/1507 |
