Really Kj? Another Picassa Collage?

September 8th, 2010

Last week I had my first day as Teaching Assistant for “Introduction to the Hermeneutical Task” at MHGS. Professor Dwight Friesen invited me to introduce myself using any images I might like. I hemmed and hawed, and eventually since it was a class about how we approach and interpret text, I decided to show a [...]

Here’s what we’ve been up to. And DFC members- feel free to amend my versions of things. I know I forget about 80% of [...]

Tiny TV Review: Mad Men

0
October 8th, 2009

Confession- this isn’t really a review so much as knee-jerk response. I gave up watching the series after only 2 episodes. When asked why, this was my answer: “Well- it just didn’t grab me, for one. The directing and pacing is really odd. And it seems way too amused by its cultural differences and historical [...]

Is Fox Playing With Dolls?

0
September 26th, 2009

Ian wrote an excellent post reviewing the Season 2 premier of Joss Whedon’s Fox series Dollhouse. While still paling in comparison to the brilliance of Firefly and creativity of Buffy the vampire Slayer, Dollhouse has the seeds of a great series. The unaired 13th episode of the first season, “Epitaph One“, especially, is a knock-out, [...]

August 2nd, 2009

What’s all that tweeting you hear? Oh, just the sounds of my fifteen minutes of fame getting used up. I’m not complaining. The following is proof that Twitter truly is the most powerful benevolent de-centralized (human-made) force in the universe. It goes like this… In August, Ian and I start working on a paper about [...]

Please come- and bring opinions. If you want (its so worth it) Watch the series first. You’ve got time. Only 14 episodes. And watch Serenity also. The follow up movie kicks hard core ass. (also- there’s a chance food will be involved- just a chance at this point. Stay tuned)

When Your Friends Start Getting Famous For Singing Songs About Famous People…

March 29th, 2009

…you must put them on your blog. Apparently my fellow Bennington-ite Jonathan Mann has been making his way up the YouTube charts and even onto MSNBC. I’ve known for awhile that he’s been writing a song a day, I’d just lost track of how awesome they are. Here’s his paean to Jon Stewart. It’s incredible. [...]
