The greatest ten seconds of my recent vacation... In person, she's nowhere near as cute as she was on "Firefly." And she's nowhere near as hot as she is in certain glamour shots.

Darkened Vision

Posted by Jay Tea · Published: March 19, 2008 · Comments (12)

The term "visionary" is tossed around a lot. It's become overused, and is pretty much ruined for those people who truly deserve it. Like the late Arthur C. Clarke. Clarke is often considered one of the "trinity" of great science-fiction writers -- authors who were not only superb storytellers, but... [Full Story]

Hollywood pays tribute to the military the only way they know how

Posted by Cassy Fiano · Published: February 25, 2008 · Comments (19)

Well, last night was the Oscars. I didn't watch -- I don't find it particularly entertaining to watch already-smug actors, directors, producers, and the rest of the Hollywood establishment rub shoulders and celebrate their profound awesomeness, which is all the Oscars (and every other award show) really is about.
