New TV Crush

I have the biggest television crush on Moss from "The IT crowd," played by Richard Ayoade.

Best spin on the "nerd" character I've really ever seen on TV.

That is all, my friends.

If Diane Kruger grew up in germany, why was I so unsatisfied with her German accent?
I must not be a very good jugde, or perhaps I just don't know enough about different German accents. I'll have to ask my resident German friend. I haven't talked to her in a while anyway.

Reading the first book of Frank Miller's "Sin City." I really appreciate the art style. Will reserve other comments until I've finished the whole first book, but do have a general comics related observation.

Why is that in order to be powerful, a woman must be beautiful and sexy. Whereas men come in all kinds of shapes and sizes? I mean it's one thing if EVERYONE is beautiful, that's like some idealization. But normally the male characters aren't beautiful, they are plenty of grotesque characters as well. And it even seems that not attractive is the default setting for male charaters. But the default is always perfect beauty for female characters. With a few "uglies" thrown in here and there.

Let's get with the program, ok?

more geekness

My dad on Doctor Who when asked if he liked it:

Says Buffy was better, the doctor guy (meaning Giles) plays a lot better there, and the girls had more range (in acting, well except for Buffy herself). Meanwhile my Dad never really liked Buffy much either.

Then I told him Dr Who was British, and his response was to say that it makes sense. They have a much higher tolerance for bullshit.

Oh Dad, you are too wise.

Also we watched the animated Transformers movie, and it was great.
