A story about the revived Mystery Science Theater 3000-like project Cinematic Titanic is now up at MinnPost.
I know you are not supposed to look a gift horse in the mouth, and any radio station that plays even some music I like without commercials of any kind is worthwhile -- especially in the Twin Cities' radio wasteland. But oh boy, sometimes I can't stand the Current. The CD player in my car is on the fritz, so I've spent more time than usual listening to my three favorite non-commercial stations (KFAI, Radio K and the Current) and there is something about the latter that just sets my teeth on edge. Maybe it's the bad electro-pop they seem to favor right now; maybe it's too much Nada Surf; maybe it's DJs whose taste in music I really don't agree with. Whatever the reason, it sounds more and more like a slightly more hip adult contemporary station that a rebellious station working to uncover the best music of today (while also playing lost treasures from the past).
Over the weekend I: attended a thought-provoking play at the Illusion Theater; attended two parties Saturday night (including a Chinese New Year shindig -- enjoy the Year of the Rat everyone); watched the entire second season of Dexter (not as good as the first -- it centers on a character whose fate is pretty clear from about the fourth episode) and the debut of Ashes to Ashes; finished painting a force of shiny evil Necrons; and finally got my main World of Warcraft character to Level 40, though I didn't have enough money to get my pimped-out mount (he's a dwarf, so he rides a, um, ram; got the short end of the stick there, didn't I?) No wonder I'm tired today.
Neil Gaiman wants you to pick one of his books to be posted on the Internet for free.
And here's why I have the Rats on my brain right now.
