There’s something strangely appealing about some of David Chien’s quirky illustrations.

You’ve Got Wings of SteelBut They Never Really Move You
Posted in Music on Feb 24th, 2003
Here’s an experiment that you can try at home: Take one afternoon, just as dusk is falling. It helps if it’s a little cold, and ominus looking dark storm clouds are rolling in. Get in your car, and put on some heavy metal act from when you were a kid. I’d recommend Dio, Holy Diver, [...]
Ha..Ha..Ha..Ha!!!

I’ve got just three words for you: Monster Super Heros! Ha..Ha..Ha..Ha!!! The League Of Extraordinary Gentlemen is either going to be unbelievably great or unspeakably bad. I don’t care which. I HAVE to see this movie! Oh, and did I mention that Sean Connery is in it? Ha..Ha..Ha!!!!!!
Japanese Garden
Posted in Photography (mine) on Feb 22nd, 2003
Los Angeles is such an amazing place. There’re all of these little nooks and crannies. You could probably spend several lifetimes exploring and still not find everything the city has to offer. For instance, straight up the 405, just in the San Fernando Valley, off of Burbank, there is this remarkably beautiful japanese garden. I [...]
Wonderful Days

The animation in the Wonderful Days trailor looks amazing. I don’t have any idea what the story is, but it sure looks pretty.
Nation States
Posted in Fun on Feb 19th, 2003
This could be fun: Jennifer Government: NationStates is a nation simulation game. You create your own country, fashioned after your own political ideals, and care for its people. Either that or you deliberately torture them. It’s really up to you. So far, Nation States seems to be a bit slow paced. It’s a turn based [...]
Cork Dolls

Delightfully charming cork doll figures. I don’t know if these would be as wonderful if seen in person, but the photography and presentation on the Internet makes them truly amazing. Thanks MeFi.
Soylent Green is People
Posted in Photography (others) on Feb 18th, 2003
A callous appeal to emotions? Yeah maybe, but still are these the people we’re so eager to go kill? (scroll down for the photos). They’re so much like you and me. They’re going to be blown to hell, in the name of ego freedom and peace. More to the point they’re going to be killed [...]
Don’t Wait For Mother Nature

Mmmm, smell the satire: Beauty Kit for Little Girls. Quicktime video, disturbing, delightful.
Is that the Getty?
Posted in Other Media on Feb 16th, 2003
Since when did the Getty start exhibiting avant guard art? The last time I was there, I didn’t find the art that compelling (as opposed to the building’s architecture and views which are obviously spectacular). Still, Bill Viola: The Passions looks interesting. The video clips as presented on the internet don’t do much for me, [...]
