gripe

Why are parking lots still designed to include “compact car” spaces? I’ve never seen any evidence that we have the ability to self regulate this.

books used to be awesome

Warlord Of Mars
John Carter on pride:

If I sometimes seem to take too great pride in my fighting ability, it must be remembered that fighting is my vocation. If your vocation be shoeing horses, or painting pictures, and you can do one or the other better than your fellows, then you are a fool if you are not proud of your ability. And so I am very proud that upon two planets no greater fighter has ever lived than John Carter, Prince of Helium.

from Edgar Rice Burroughs’ The Warlord of Mars, art by Gino D’Achille

Be prepared for the part where John Carter, written in 1918, basically uses fiber optic technology to unlock a door.

Thomas Jane Backs Out of Punisher 2

Interestingly, Jane’s withdrawal comes a day after IDFC icon Chuck Lidell told ESPN.com that he was involved with the sequel.

I actually liked the last Punisher movie a lot more than I should. Maybe this means I can hold out hope that someone will make sure Tom Jane plays Jesse Custer in the Preacher HBO series.

travels

Since I’ve re-booted the website, I should probably mention the road trip I recently returned from.

I-90

If you’re interested, there’s a bunch of photos in a flickr collection, and you can look at my flickr map too.

Tourist

And here’s the approximate route on Google Maps. (takes a while to load)

the ending would be EPIC

Am I the only one who thinks a Dawn of The Dead musical would be sublime?

I’m half way through a musical gig (Cats), so they’re on the mind, but seriously, singing dancing zombie chorus.

Pretty much every new musical is some sort of adaptation, which I assume is the only way to get tourists visiting New York in the seats, because, come on, we have to see a musical in New York, right Honey? Ooo, I remember that Disney movie…

Also, I think we can trace the current problem of furries back to the popularity of Cats in the 80s. Early exposure people, watch for the signs.
