By way of Twitter comes this nifty little article about Asian Cinema in the US. Exit the dragon discusses the current state of Asian cinema in the US and where it all went horribly wrong. It's an interesting, if not a bit disheartening, article. Speaking of disheartening things.. No apology for CIA coup plotting? Well, how about a photo then… President Barack Obama artfully dodged a ...

FreeAgent and Supernatural

... work frowns on non-work use of work computers. Dean and Sam and Castiel are worth it, though. It's for the best, too, so I won't be listening to Supernatural while at work. ALthough, the nifty FreeAgent drive from Seagate is quite transportable, so I could continue to listen if I wanted. Not that I considered that either. I blame it all on a certain friend in Florida and on the prophet Chuck.

X-Factor: Wings And Wands.

... take care of the security." "I can make trips, but that gives them more time to find us," Kitty suggests, glancing at the motion sensor she can see. "I don't suppose you can do that nifty trick you do, Doc?" She gestures to her head, shrugging towards him. "If we could get close enough," Tom says, slanting a meaningful glance down at his watch, currently little more informative than a band of ...

Apparently, it was (is)...

...Influenza A, resulting in reactive airway (ie, asthma from the coughing, etc.) plus, most likely, bronchitis.  I have a nifty inhaler which is possibly making my anxiety worse with its stimulant properties and hasn't done a lot to clear my airway yet, and am getting zithromax today for the bronchitis. Go me!  I'm a sweepstakes winner!

New Dragon Drawing - bubbles, pipes and potions

.... This ink drawing was inspired by a drawing in my sketchbook that I did over a year ago. I took the basic dragon form and his bottle of potion, and for the final ink drawing I added the nifty steampunk-ish pipe system to the background. This guy is currently available on etsy and fun t-shirts and gifts featuring this drawing are at cafepress . If you want the original, you better snap it up ...

Nifty Wii News from E3

I don't care about the Wii Fit Plus or the Vitality Sensor, but New Super Mario Brothers and Mario Galaxy 2 was announced. I have to admit I'm more excited about New Super Mario Bros than Mario Galaxy. httpv://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XqOMinDz0mE httpv://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iO10_IbDUBU Originally published at Chronicles of a Simple Geek .

EA Active

I saw it at Costco. I bought it. Now I need to find time to test it out and see how good it is. First look looks pretty nifty, definitely another option for late night workouts or I don't wanna go outside days. Sad moment testing out game while wearing pajama bottoms/panties and a normal bra, and having to hold my belly skin and boobs with both arms during the running parts. I guess that's why I...

Book Swap - Seattlites for Skeletons

... building of the metropolis. When I arrived, all ready to read my interesting but dry history book, I see that they've restocked their "To Be Read" shelf, and now it's full of nifty-neato books. For instance, there was "Skullduggery Pleasant: Scepter of the Ancients" about a living skeleton adventurer. Not only does that sound like a hoot, it's funny and melodramatic and sarcastic ... and would ...

... 5k. The heat in Washington has been a killer for me. Seventy-five - I'm good with that. But 90s? I'm so not good for that! I was forced to run inside one day (did what was actually a nifty 5k program on the treadmill,) and as scary as this might sound, when I was running outside, I did it without a t-shirt. Yeah, I might not have a magazine cover physique, but screw it. I was comfortable with it...

HOF MOCCA Plans

... of Burden #1 for folks to look at. Any retailers reading this, please come over to take a look, I have the entire first issue and some sample pages I can fork over. We'll also have some nifty handmade HOF stuff at the show -- some of you may remember the Milk and Cheese and HOF monster pencil cases and Moleskine covers Sarah made last year for Heroes World. She's finished up a bunch more for ...
