Wallace And Gromit [permalink]

I love Wallace’s desire to use inventions to do stuff he could easily do himself.

Voltron [permalink]

I’ve been rediscovering this television series from when I was a kid. Does anybody else remember Voltron: Defender of the Universe? Anyway, I found that Netflix has all of the series available for streaming online, and it’s like finding my inner-boy again.

Lacking Personality? [permalink]

I try to let my photos do most of the talking… but somehow I feel that my blog still lacks some personality. Jeannie tries to make sure that I’m as non-offensive as possible, which is good, but can be a little bland. That said, it’s not like I’m going to go try offending people now. I just thought I’d try to inject a little bit a pop culture from one of the best sitcoms every created/executed - The Office. I love The Office because I’ve worked in a cubicle as an engineer, and almost every character reminds me of someone I have met at a deskjob environment… and yes, I do know a “Michael Scott”.

This first clip is someone taking Office clips and turning it into a Halloween trailer. Well done.

I was also debating putting in a clip of Michael Scott with his second head costume, but I’m going to opt for Jim imitating Dwight instead.

Happy Halloween, everybody.

“Arrested Development” - Season 2 [permalink]

If you haven’t seen this show, it is amazing. It starts a little bit slow because it takes a few episodes to build the premise, but once you get going, the show is hilarious. I have to admit that it is much better in DVD form than as a tv show, especially if you are a channel flipper, since stuff doesn’t make sense if you miss anything at all. Winner of numerous Emmys, SAGs, and a Golden Globe, it’s a shame that it only lasted 3 seasons (see awards list). I’m only up-to-date through season 2, but so far, the writing is incredible, the acting if flawless, and I can’t think of a better sitcom I’ve ever seen. Mitchell Hurwitz is a friggin’ genius.

“Friday Night Lights” [permalink]

I’m really into this show right now. It has almost everything I want in my photography - gritty, intense, passionate, messy, and weirdly beautiful. All the characters are completely twisted, with agendas that they don’t even know they have. Yeah, I know that it’s totally unrealistic, being high school kids and all, but I guess I find myself connecting to the disfunction and resilience of relationships that the show conveys.
