Sure as the stars above

I was at work a couple days ago and listened to a podcast called "making it with Riki Lindhome" where she interviewed Garfunkel and Oates band-mate Kate Micucci, it was a great podcast, I highly recommend it. I love the music of G&O and think if Kate got any cuter the world would explode.

One Man Army

Watched the Jason Statham movie Blitz last night and was greatly disappointed. I'm a huge fan of the Transporter and Crank films so I was expecting to see a bunch of ass kicking to which there was almost none. You have Jason Statham and a bad guy, how hard is this? I just want to see the dude kick some ass. I would love to see a movie titled "Jason Statham Fights Some Dudes". That's enough for me, ticket sold.

Miffbustas

I listened to a Nerdist podcast today with the Mythbusters as guests so I had Kari Byron on my mind.

And Death Shall Have no Dominion

I'm a huge fan of the 2002 Soderbergh film Solaris and I don't think I would like it as much without the outstanding female lead played by Natascha McElhone. Her hauntingly beautiful eyes just capture me in a way I've never seen before on the silver screen. She was also great in Ronin and Truman Show, love to see her in more stuff. I wanted to experiment with more of a close up angle. Not sure if I'm happy with the result but it was fun to try something new.

laugh riot

I listened to a podcast called "girl on guy" hosted by Aisha Tyler who among other things is the voice of Lana Kane on the FX series Archer. I love what I've heard of the podcast so far and can't recommend it highly enough. So today I thought I would draw the talented, beautiful Aisha Tyler.

Buy a Vowell

I watched a PBS documentary about the Marquis de Lafayette and was surprised to see a small appearance by one of my favorite authors Sarah Vowell. I have to admit that I'm not as big of a fan of her two most recent books The Wordy Shipmates & Unfamiliar Fishes, they tended to be a little heavy on quotes from her resources than her own words. I guess I'm most a fan of her short essay work, I've read Take the Cannoli like five times and I still love it.

The R Files

I've been watching a lot of the old "Rockford Files" show on Netflix instant lately. The thing I'm the most surprised by is how well it has held up over time. It's still an entertaining show and James Garner kicks ass in it.
