The Thing From Beyond the Vom: Theatre of the Absurd, twenty-first century political culture, and a guy who fell off a seven-storey building last December. Related to that last, How to Live With Dead People hits nerves.

Best room ever.

It's Clocky, an alarm clock that runs away after you hit the snooze button, so that you actually have to get up and find the thing to turn it off. "A good way to come to full, rage-fueled consciousness every morning. . . . I hope it becomes a buyable thing! Even though I hate it already!" --[livejournal.com profile] prog

I had about a zillion other things to link to, and then I killed the power to my computer. Doh. Today's lesson is: update yer LJ more often than once a week!

Finally got around to watching the Hitchhiker's Guide trailers on apple.com. I am guardedly optimistic. The Vogon ships do, in fact, hang in the sky in much the same way that bricks don't. Mos Def is an interesting choice for Ford. Alan Rickman will make a wonderful Marvin [though I'd expected the actual robot to be more angular]. Zaphod's extra head is, um, interesting.

The new Sin City trailer is also bloody gorgeous. "It's time to prove to your friends that you're worth a damn. Sometimes that means dying. Sometimes it means killing a whole lot of people." And of course there's A Scanner Darkly and Batman Begins and Charlie & the Chocolate Factory and Serenity and, uh, I think that's all the movies I know about that I'm interested in, through September at least. (And I still haven't managed to see Ong-Bak, and at this point probably won't be able to 'til it comes out on DVD. Le sigh.)

I feel myself burning out on school something fierce. Part of it is design lab [huge time sink, small reward in terms of both grade and YAY THIS IS DECENT] but there's also a desire to just be done. Summer will be a challenge.

My ten-year high school reunion is scheduled for Thanksgiving weekend. I now have an urge to watch Grosse Pointe Blank again.

Having watched all the Hitchhiker's Guide trailers that were out a couple weeks ago [with Chris], it looks like it has a lot of potential to be good. Here's hoping. [i've only seen part of the BBC version, because the one time Chris tried to show me installments at his parents' house, i kept falling asleep on the couch.]

Yeah. That sounds about right.
