Goodbye Angel Heart, Hello Antique Bakery

Angel Heart has run its course — 50 episodes — and a series I had declared to be the feel good anime of 2006 still holds true. Sure it got a bit formulaic pretty early, but, I still watched, mostly, out of nostalgia and loyalty to the franchise; I was not disappointed.

omgOMG

In high school, during the mid to late 80s, this was perhaps one of my favorite books. And now, almost 20 years and change later, it’s being made into a movie. Hard to believe that a book like that is this hour’s #3 bestseller on the B&N hourly best seller widget, but, not really. You [...]

On vacation

What am I doing?
Cleaned house. Four boxes of books went to the Bridge to Asia program in River Grove. Probably could have sent them to Half Price Books at Touhy Crossing, but that’s where I sent the DVDs and CDs instead (and got paid a pretty good amount for them). Three bags of clothing went [...]

Yes, I’m double posting

Professor Randy Pausch’s lecture, not just being a great talk by a great user experience thinker and practitioner, is also ultimately a story about the best of his humanity, challenged as it is by the fight of his life, with all the bravery and terror and everything on the line that he can muster, an [...]

And that’s a wrap for Galactica this year

Mid-season hiatus, and also, partly due to the writers’ strike, they only filmed 11 episodes before the strike started. While it was still a great episode, still felt a bit of an anticlimax, compared to the previous episode, but considering that this show could have served as the series finale, there was a somewhat real [...]
