BSG Recap 5/30 – Sine Qua Non
I know Latin too!
ad hominem; non sequitur;, post hoc ergo propter hoc; futue te ipsum et caballum tuum; salve – nemo nunc ipsum advenire ad longelocutum ad vocem tuam accipiendam potest, sed possis si velis nuntiam tradere dicendo simul ac sonitum audiveris – Memento sonitu praestolare – ave; nullo modo; pro bono.

Ladyhawk Los Angeles 05-29-08
There’s some music that makes me want to gather it up in my arms and squeeze it so tight that it sinks into my body. I want to absorb into my bones, so I can carry the feeling it gives me around with me forever. Ladyhawk’s music is like that.

Photography Tips Part II: Aperture and Depth of Field
This is the second in a series of posts I’m doing about photography. I’m approaching this as if I’m speaking to novices with no knowledge beyond pointing and shooting an automatic camera. This post will be focused on (har har) aperture and depth of field. If you don’t know what that means, don’t let it scare you. It’s actually very simple.

Apple TV: So I Finally Did It
Well. I finally did it. After my kids manage to lose yet an other DVD and I looked at what replacing a Disney DVD cost I realized it was time to get the AppleTV. The way I figure it I need only justify the cost of 12 DVDs and I’ve paid for the AppleTV. Plus I get the convenience of having all the movies handy without having DVDs in a place where prying little hands can scratch them or worse put them in the trash.

Indy IV – an actual review
The first scene of Indy IV is so shockingly awful that you wonder whether it was intended to be so. I suspect they filmed it right at the end knowing that the pile of crap they had in front of them might as well stink from the first frame onwards. That way you at least know what you’re going to expect. Hopes immediately crushed, you can then concentrate on snogging your date or enjoying silent popcorn burps. I suppose we should be grateful.
I’m not going to describe the particular abomination in question because some things should be experienced in their full, unanticipated splendour. Let’s just say that Lucas and Spielberg have opened their bladder over the Indiana Jones of yore and should both be arrested for a display of public immorality that even Binks rose above. Yes, you heard it right: Phantom Menace was better. Indy IV is a leaden, dull, dimwitted, tiring piece of cinematic Scheiss. If you are on the fence about seeing it, please don’t go. Do not reward their sorry arses.
