...something fairly crappy happening, which in this case involved the spilling red alcohol all over my carpet (not to mention the various papers and pieces of mail nearby) just three minutes after 11 PM. Not a huge deal, but still. SO CLOSE! Bleh. 😐

I don't feel like doing anything today.

Today, 25 years ago, my life began!

Well, nine or so months prior, according to the good pro-life folks.

I will now celebrate with a couple of drinks and a trip to outer space. 🙂

I couldn't resist. An official shower gel-filled Dalek will be mine!

In other news, Bill Clinton freaking rocks, as the folks at Sore Thumbs have aptly summed up in this comic. He's f**king Bill Clinton, fool.

I watched New York Minute last night. Oh my god. OH MY GOD. The latest Crayon Haiku says it all, and see the attendant SC blog entry for a mini- review of the film. Oh my god.

In other news, my Dr. Who DVD box set finally arrived yesterday! So far I've watched Dr. Who and the Daleks, which isn't terribly interesting or exciting despite the presence of everyone's favorite salt shaker-shaped cyborgs. Part of the problem stems from the fact that it's adapted from and adheres far too closely to the second "Doctor Who" serial (which itself was fairly boring, the introduction of the Daleks notwithstanding), so there's nothing new here except the draw of seeing Daleks in color. I guess that alone made the movie worth seeing back in the 60s, but considering that one can not only see Daleks in color but see them in color and molesting naked women the thrill is all but gone at this point. I do like Peter Cushing, though, and the lengthy text bio of him in the DVD extras was a rather nifty read.

However, because the film does have Daleks, I now have an excuse to finally add images of them to my random DVD screencap script. Hurrah!

I added a bunch of others as well... click the following link (or just scroll down if you've already done so) to see 'em. See if you can guess what DVDs I snagged them from! Some are pretty easy; some are not. (more...)

Okay, here are drawings of two people that I promised to draw like over a year ago and have just now completed. See if you can guess who they are just by looking at the pictures without looking at the image titles! Running your cursor over the images and looking at the status bar (or clicking the images and reading the filenames) will let you know if you're right. Click the display picture(s) below for the larger and/or undithered images.

I'd like to say that I hope it was worth the wait, but there's no way that it could be because being drawn all goofy-like by me is in no way an exciting or memorable or life-changing experience. Still, in a feeble attempt to try and make up for the delay, I've also created individual pics with some additional details that will hopefully amuse today's models: (more...)
