They are Napa kappa.

Earthsea original trilogy, or Left hand ofDarkness. The Dispossessed changed my life.

All I could think about the dolphin exist, was change the damn name. It’s like a burger place place saying, “Yeah, it’s beef, but around these parts we call it roast baby brains. We keep the name on the menu for cultural reasons.” Granted not being able to tell IHOP from a fish joint is dumb.

I saw this headline, then realized, “Oh wait, Kanye West is already married.”

Okay, I’m guessing a Bolt bus is an East Coast thing. Is not pulling over to be sure the passengers are safe & help block traffic—is that an East Coast thing too?

Check out https://nikonhacker.com/wiki/Main_Page. I keep meaning to hack mine for video. I've been reading that Magic Lantern themselves are looking to make a version for Nikon.

This chart is also useful when shooting video with your camera. Turning up the ISO when shooting in the dark can give a very noisy image that you might want for telling a specific story.

Dog attorney is apparently pulled from Shelock Hound, a fun series with several episodes by Miyazaki! That part is real.

How did you turn out normal?

Time for my yearly rant. It makes no goddman sense to allow in films that open wide in January! If they can't release in 2014, it's not a 2014 film!

In the comic Ménage a 3, one of the main characters, Zii, tracks down a child troll and threatens to out him to his mom. Its a great strategy, and a great comic, if a little risqué.

Keep in mind Moore doesn't believe it's the character he puts forward, but that it tells a better story to be the character he names. He wants to indict an era, and does so successfully.

I sometimes work with kids & music, and it's a great app for youngsters getting started. The auto play features are something they enjoy, and it's got a fun sampler built in. I can't tell you how many little boys switch on when you show them they can make fart noises then play it like a piano. Plus it's free! A great…

Hammet is amazing!

Heard of? 9/10 (who's Adams?) Read? 4/10—Lewis, O'Neill, Milay, and Frost. Really liked? Frost & Milay. Frost is amazing & Milay was a real kick-ass. I think Dos Pasos was writing before this. No one reads him outside of college, but pretty good! I have to agree Wolfe & Hemingway should be there, though I'm not a fan…

Most people don't know Pynchon was also "The Unknown Comic" on the The Gong Show.

Flare on at The Crucible in Oakland.

Children's Fairyland in Oakland. The oldest children's park in the country (1950) and an inspiration for Disneyland. Oldest continuously running puppet theater.
