  1. Dik Od Triaanenen Fol (Finns Ain’t What They Used to Be) March 28, 2008

    A bit of silliness here. A few months back, Prairie and I went to see Monty Python’s Spamalot when it was here in Seattle. In the programs, where you’d expect to find the show information and cast/creator bios, there was instead very Pythonesque information about ‘Bin Faaarkrekkion’s New Moosical, _Dik Od Triaanenen Fol (Finns Ain’t What They Used to Be)’. The actual Spamalot information was a few pages back in the program, of course. Here, though, for those who may not get to see Spamalot onstage, is the skinny on ol’ Bin Faaarkrekkion.

  2. Random Updates March 27, 2008

    It’s been a while since I’ve actually said anything on here, hasn’t it? So it goes, sometimes. This past school quarter was a rather unpleasant one, and online babbling became a pretty low priority for me. So, some random updates on the world around me…

  3. Medieval Fanfic March 15, 2008

    Robert Henryson, a 15th-century Scottish writer, went so far as to write a sequel to Chaucer’s earlier work, Troilus and Criseyde, in which he punishes Criseyde for all the things Chaucer had her do to poor, noble Troilus.

  4. Archie vs. Pulp: Common People March 14, 2008

    I’ve long been a fan of Pulp’s song ‘Common People’. A couple days ago, comic reviewer Chris Sims, in an inspired bit of silliness, set the lyrics to a bunch of altered Archie comic panels. Continuing the silliness, I spent a little time tonight combining Chris’s strips with Pulp’s song…enjoy!

    Generally, I’m not a fan of car commercials (there are a few exceptions, but they tend to be few and far between). However, this one from Pontiac is just all sorts of awesome.

  6. Headline Humor March 13, 2008

    A wire story in Monday’s Seattle PI: Man acquitted of murder in Othello. My first thought: ‘Y’know, that’s not how I remember that play going….’

  7. Sick Boy March 10, 2008

    Generally speaking, I don’t get sick very often. The occasional sniffles or light cold, but not much more than that. I made up for it this weekend, though, when I managed to come down with some nasty 48-hour-ish flu bug.

  8. 50 Gayest Songs of All Time March 7, 2008

    I figured I’d run down the list and figure out just how many of these camp classics have made it into my music collection over the years. So, under the cut — does my music collection make the grade? How’s my collection of gay anthems?

  9. I Am Legend Original Ending March 6, 2008

    For some reason, the last ten minutes or so of the film completely diverge from everything that had been set up until that point, taking what had been an interesting apocalyptic zombie film and ruining it for us with an ending that didn’t make any sense.

  10. The Last Galactica March 4, 2008

    The fourth and final season of Battlestar Galactica approaches, and even though they almost lost me during season three, that season rebounded well and ended so strongly that I’m really looking forward to BSGs return.
