And here I thought the sequence was entirely CG… The rudimentary method is quite ingenious, and I’m a bit saddened to learn that the remastered movies have replaced the manual crawl with CG versions. I wonder if the opening crawl for Flash Gordon (George Lucas’ inspiration for the Star Wars films) was done using the […]
I have always had a soft spot for architecture. I mean, who hasn’t seriously considered becoming an architect after reading Ayn Rand’s The Fountainhead? And as cliché as it sounds, Frank Lloyd Wright has always been my favorite architect and Fallingwater my favorite residential building. Visiting Fallingwater has been on my to-do list for over […]

While I am a foodie, I’m not the healthiest person in the world when it comes to eating. Alright, I eat like crap. (Don’t worry, I’ve gotten a lot better since I got pregnant.) So it should come to no surprise that I hardly ever pay attention to nutrition facts labels. Ingredients. Vitamins/minerals. Measurements. Percentages. […]

J and I have a thing for zombies. We love zombie flicks, zombie video games, and even zombie books (I personally think Pride and Prejudice and Zombies is overrated but believe World War Z to be one of the best books of the past decade). And we’re pretty sure that if there were ever to […]
(Also, a major reason I have been MIA and probably will be for the next week or so…) Final Fantasy XIII was released earlier this week. I have only had time to play two days, but in those two days I managed to log over 26 hours of gameplay. I officially reached the halfway point […]
Parker Brothers will be celebrating the 75th anniversary of Monopoly with the release of a special edition: Monopoly Revolution! Not only is the new board circular, the currency is digitized — way to teach kids about credit cards! Gone are the days of hiding colorful Monopoly money under your butt to hide your true wealth […]
Today, Apple announced its highly-anticipated tablet device. My first thought: are there any women on Apple’s marketing/branding team? It was worth taking 5 minutes out of my busy day to put this together: In all seriousness now… will you be buying an iPad? I personally think it’s superfluous; I am perfectly happy with my laptop […]
J isn’t one for extravagant gifts, but this past Christmas he gifted me with something I had been drooling over for a very long time: the Motorola Droid. I convinced J to order the phone through Amazon, since its $149.99 pricetag was a lot more attractive than the $199.99 offered by Verizon Wireless stores. (Note: […]
I like books, gadgets, spicy food, and art. I dislike shopping, hot weather, and the laws of entropy. Although I am a self-proclaimed computer nerd, I still have a love for handbags and makeup... and I am always teetering on high heels. To learn more about me, visit the "About" page.
