New obsessions

Have you all seen the show "Damages" on FX yet?  OMG So good.  Brad started watching it on Hulu and we hooked up his macbook to the TV and have been in marathon mode all weekend.  All you need to know is it has Glenn Close as a power hungry litigator queen bitch, don't ask questions, don't even think about resisting, just bow down and worship.  

I remember when I saw the lady Glenn in the musical adaptation of Sunset Boulevard.  I always admire the intensity she brings to ever role she takes on.  I mean, she defined the art of stalking with Fatal Attraction.  

I've also become obsessed with an iPhone app called Brushes.  I'm no where near as talented as this chap, but I love to doodle anyway.  I've combined my love of doodling with my new found obsession for "Damages" and created portraits of some of the main characters.

John from By The Bayou Twittered this to my attention.

This is the best piece of art I've seen in a long time. It's a beautiful thing when gay geeks make art.

Question: Is the spelling of "phur" similar to the evolution that resulted in "phat?"

Today's the day!

Battlestar Galactica returns tonight for it's final season!! Sad but exciting at the same time, my nipple even got hard.

BSG - S4

This photo makes me giddy as a school boy.

In the Wired article that this photo accompanied one of the cast member let it slip that "Hillary's the final Cylon." Who said there's no truth on TV?

If you're a fan be sure to check out Letterman tonight, the cast will be presenting the "Battlestar Galactica" Top Ten.

Found through Justin

Not the result I was hoping for.

Which Battlestar Galactica Character Are You?

I was hoping I'd come out as Six. Sigh.

Imagination Retardation

The sibling in my family that is closest in age to me is fourteen years older than I am. Basically I grew up like an only child and developed an uncanny ability to entertain myself when alone and with limited resources. This was demonstrated today upon returning to work from lunch when I took an ordinary strip of plastic, which normally serves as a shade for the fluorescent light over my desk, and transformed it into Geordi La Forge's visor.

Thank You For Being The Internet

I found this lovely piece of inspirational art on Jimbo's Flickr page. Naturally, I fell in love with it and being that I am a hot blooded citizen of the USofA I WANTED MORE!!

Google search for: "Golden Girls Inspirational Posters"

This is what I found instead.

An article about an art exhibit in Hollywood entitled, "Golden Girls Gone Wild." It all started when curator Lenora Claire purchased a portrait of Bea Arthur bearing her breasts for $110 (A steal if you ask me). Other installations include a portrait of Rue McClanahan made from pieces of trash (namely condom wrappers, hairspray cans, and cheesecake wrappers) and a portrait of Betty White in a skimpy leather suit with a whip. For those that are not familiar with the concept of camp, look no further, this is the pinnacle of the idiom. I love it.

I would totally hang this over my fireplace.

The exhibit even has a MySpace page, Golden Girls Gone Wild MySpace.

Raised on He-Man

To my delight I discovered that someone has posted several episodes of He-Man on YouTube. Last night I watched, "The Diamond Ray of Disappearance." It was nothing short of awesome.

When I was a child I lived, breathed, was everything He-Man (bed sheets, underwear, and all). I had the sword. It went with me everywhere; I sat with it at the dinner table; I slept with it in bed. I had the power.

I totally forgot about the life lessons at the end of every He-Man episode; I think they're great!

Here's 14 Life Lessons from He-Man:

Not only is He-Man a total muscle stud, he's got morals too! Swoon!

This one doesn't have it but there's one where they talk about the Magna Carta; how it's a wonderful document because it was one of the first steps in creating equality for all, and how the only way civilization can truly advance is if everyone works together. Imagine that!
