Life’s in a bit of a lull at the moment. This will pass.
On a Three Men Sequel
A sequel to Three Men and a Baby?!? Well, I’d been thinking about one myself, and it turns out there’s one actually in the works…
On Autumn Kiting
A sunny autumn day, the perfect sort of day to go kiting. So I did. 🙂
On LEGO Star Wars: The Novel
On TrekBBS, there’s a discussion asking Star Trek authors if they would like to write Star Wars novels. Said I in reply: I would absolutely write a Star Wars comic or novel. In fact, I know the approach I’d take, and the setting I’d use. It would be mental. Abso-fucking-lutely mental. And hilarious. Did IContinue reading “On LEGO Star Wars: The Novel”
On 2001: A Who Odyssey
Imagine a world where Stanley Kubrick made Doctor Who‘s “The Wheel in Space.” It’s not impossible. Kubrick was seriously impressed with the effects work in “The Daleks’ Master-Plan.” Imagine no more! 2001: A Who Odyssey. The Silver Carrier! The space station! The Tycho Excavation! The weird shit with the hotel room! The Star Child! It’sContinue reading “On 2001: A Who Odyssey”
On Thoughts This Wednesday Morning
Matt Frewer is coming to Farpoint! Okay, okay, many people are going to be geeking out that weekend over the winsome Felicia Day. But. Matt Frewer, people! Max Headroom! Sherlock Holmes! Doctor, Doctor! (Which so needs to be on DVD, dammit! I’d buy it. Right now!) Yes, I liked Frewer’s Holmes, from those four moviesContinue reading “On Thoughts This Wednesday Morning”
On “The Waters of Mars”
So I’ve watched last night’s Doctor Who, “The Waters of Mars.” It’s slickly made. The effects work was especially nice. Graeme Harper acquitted himself well behind the camera. I loved the mention of the Ice Warriors. I thought it was incredibly boring. The plot is rather linear. The Doctor arrives at Bowie Base One onContinue reading “On “The Waters of Mars””
On Logo-Making
A few days ago, I found a new font — Celtic Eels, styled on the Book of Kells — and I wondered what I could possibly use it for. This, naturally, set the wheels turning, and, unsurprisingly, I had an idea yesterday. I’d make a logo! For people who can’t make that out, it readsContinue reading “On Logo-Making”
On Political Surveys
Three months ago, I received a survey from the Heritage Foundation. They wanted input on how I (or rather, “Ms. Allyn Gibson,” as that was how the survey was addressed) felt about taxes. Specifically, they wanted to know how I felt about the sunseting of the Bush tax cuts over the next two years. IContinue reading “On Political Surveys”
On Today’s Font Discovery
Always in search of new and interesting fonts, this evening I found something amazing. Celtic Eels, a font apparently based on the Book of Kells. It’s a free font, designed by West Wind Fonts. I have absolutely no idea what I’m going to use it for. Except maybe to make my name. Like this: LooksContinue reading “On Today’s Font Discovery”
