I need new primary glasses, as LensCrafters is crap and the fake transitions coating is delaminating, and they’re scratched to hell. I also need new safety glasses, because the old ones are several years old and he prescriptions are off. This is going to be in the $600 ballpark. And then I’ll likely spend that [...]

The snow is falling pretty thick out there, and work is closed. IFC is running Lords of Dogtown which I had not seen but is pretty decent. Then again, I like historical movies and documentaries, and this was written by one of the guys in the movie. The soundtrack isn’t bad either. When I watch [...]

I’m watching Magnum Force, as Liz got me the Dirty Harry collection for Christmas. Already watched Dirty Harry… They did a very good job remastering it. Dirty Harry shows quite a lot of film grain – this one is much better. The enormous ’70 cars with super squishy suspensions are hilarious.

I’m watching Fast Times at Ridgemont High. I was in the mood, because I spent the afternoon listening to 80′s glam rock bands while working.

So, this article is positing that the media is really underestimating what’s happening and, at best, we’re talking massive ecological disaster along much of the Atlantic seaboard. At worst, we’re talking supervolcano leading to the end of the world as we know it. This idea intrigues me. Aside from the “does this mean that we [...]
