Nice video, too. Sun Glitters – It takes me from Victor Ferreira / Sun Glitters on Vimeo.

All I Want To Be Is A GIF

Kieron Gillen unwittingly provides the slogan for the Tumblr years.  (via) It’s not a bad one, as accidental slogans go.  (Though I am still sad that “It’s all about control, Luigi” never caught on.  It could have been the new “son i am disappoint.”)  Though it’s interesting to me that Tumblr’s own gif tumblr hasn’t [...]

New Who Review – Journey to the Centre of the TARDIS

She’s the only character on the show to appear in almost every episode.  She’s the TARDIS and she’s as important to the series as The Doctor himself.  So it’s nice when we get a story that features her  in a major way. JOURNEY TO THE...Show More Summary

The New Who review – “Cold War”

You’d think we’d have learned as a people – if you find a large humanoid form frozen in the ice, don’t thaw it out.  And really don’t thaw it out if you’re cut off from humanity, like in an arctic research base, or as in this episode,...Show More Summary

John Ostrander: A Little Less Funny

I was something of an odd kid growing up so it may have made sense that I liked odd comedians. My memory was that I was the only person in our household who liked Ernie Kovacs; I must have been about 7 or 8 when his TV show was on. I...Show More Summary

Emily S. Whitten: The Little Things

I love tiny things. Love them. Tiny things, filled with tiny details. This is why, somewhere in my closet, I have a box of random tiny dollhouse items that I’ve bought in various places or made myself, despite not ever having owned a dollhouse or the dolls that would accompany it.

The New Who Review – The Bells of Saint John

John Ostrander: Getting Old in the Comic Industry

On his blog last week, Jerry Ordway wrote bravely and feelingly about being a pro in comics when your age is over 50. Here’s a man who has been a comic book star of long standing and now finds it hard to get any work. His skill, ability, and desire haven’t diminished; he’s just older (and more experienced) than he was back then. Show More Summary
