Gender-reversed castin for Star Trek 2.0
great concept, though I don't agree with all the choices. I'm still working on a list, and I'd like some help. Don't take it personally if I don't agree with your suggestion - I'm quite picky, and you can always prove me wrong in your own post.
here's what I'm thinking so far:
Kirk- Katie Cassidy (the original Ruby on Supernatural) While I like Strahovski, I don't see her quite as Kirk, and Katee Sackhoff's Starbuck is a bit too close in character to Kirk for me to want Sackhoff to play a similar role
Spock- I have nooooo idea
Uhura- don’t tell me Chiwetel Ejiofor is too old for this
McCoy- If Natalie Morales were older and less skinny? Maybe Carla Gugino is the right age. I like Lena Headey, but her face looks too skinny and I'm still not sure about her accent
Scotty - Ashley Jensen (Extras, Ugly Betty). I think she can pull off slightly spotty genius engineer. And she's got the accent. 'nuff said.
Sulu - Anna Tsuchiya. More skilled (if not fluent) in English than most other Japanese actresses, and that voice. Physicality and voice is what's key for Sulu. She's tough and can probably fence like George Takei in his prime. Also, it'd be awesome for her to pull one of her non-standard Japanese accents/dialects for this.
Chekov- I guess I’ll go with that person suggested byliviapenn in that post
Pike - Lena Olin? Michelle Forbes? I also like that one commenter suggested Angela Bassett, she'd be awesome
and I really like the OP's suggestion of Jennifer Connelly as Nero
give me your suggestions! I'll put together a post with more proof of suitability (pics/vids) later on.
also on that post: casting comment for reverse gender classic Trek. awesome.
ETA: how about a female director too?
lol Agnes Varda's Star Trek
maybe Antonia Bird -she made Ravenous manly enough
not sure about Angela G. Robinson - the new Herbie and D.E.B.S. didn't do well
how about the lady who directed Point Break

Name five imaginary places you would like to go on vacation.
1)LOTHLÓRIEN
2) Ryloth (home of the Twi'leks in the Star Wars universe)
It's got these two zones: a night one that looks like you're underwater with all these neon plants, and then a supersunny sandy place to help you appreciate the other side better.
3) the Island. You know which one.
4) Discworld
5) Coeur d'Coeurs
I'm sure there are others but I did not count fictionalized real-life places

I am listening to a free audiobook of Pride and Prejudice and the experience is weird. I guess such a dense text will come across differently than a story adapted for radio and read by someone more...professional (sorry!). But it's faster (for me) than reading and...oh wait, Pride and Prejudice and Zombies comes out on April 8. Still some time. Yes, I continue my streak of having odd reasons for reading classics. Oh well, I'll just continue with the audiobook. I've seen so many bits and wholes of adaptations that I'd probably grow impatient with regular book-reading when there are so many un-adapted books to read in this world...
oh, and homework to do. yeah.

You can learn a lot about someone by the music they listen to. So here is the game! Hit shuffle on your ipod or mp3 player and write down the first 25 songs. No cheating or skipping songs that are shameful. That is the fun! Then tag your friends!
ah whatever, ( here you go, no tagging )
I've been in the mood for horror these past few weeks.
I finished reading Ted the Caver. It was alright, but I could recognize some of the tricks used in other stories.
thoughts on the story and its rumored veracity;
the original, complete story (pg 14 is where the online version stopped).
Sometimes it's better to leave things unexplained.
also finished Dionea House and its related sites. Also pretty good but I can see the gimmick. I guess, with stories like this, I want something as developed as House of Leaves.
Still, this is creepy: Those who know, we consume.
one of the commenters created a nice name for this genre: docu-horror
ETA: okay, I'm reading more of the connected blog comments and now I'm afraid of doors. what. I should be afraid of one-story houses
via IMDB:
Survive the Outbreak, an interactive zombie movie. Anyone want to try it?
the use of sound in horror film
Some of the best analysis I've seen on the "torture porn" genre, and very concise but informative on the topic of cinematic sound as well.
Zodiac utilizes an interesting technique when the voice of the Zodiac killer is heard over 911 lines. David Fincher and his sound team assembled a vocal track using two different actors’ voices, alternating each word, in order to create an altogether strange, but not unreal, moment.
aww cool.

some icon stuff made of a certain young character in Lost episode 5.3, "Jughead." Not great, but the best I can do with limited time on the better iconing computer.

List (and upload, if you feel like it) 5 songs that start with that letter.
Post them to your journal with these instructions.
croakvegas gave me "U." I'm using non-Youtube links until that UK business gets sorted out. Even if you don't like the songs, the sites provided might help with further musical adventures.
1) "Untitled" - White Rabbits
first song to hear/download if you scroll down here
you lived across the street when we were kids
as we grew older our mothers hoped we'd stay friends
ahaha I cheat. I think this song might have a name now, I forget. But I'm a sucker for the clinky piano-rock of White Rabbits.
2) "Unintended" - Muse
You could be my unintended
Choice to live my life extended
be quiet be quiet. I usually don't like songs like this, but the melody gets me.
3) United State of Pop - DJ Earworm
Mashup of US Billboard top 25 songs of 2007. Strangely works as a song. The 2008 version (Viva La Pop) is fine but not as fun and danceable as the 2007 version. But the 2008 version does have a cool video.
4) Una Música Brutal - Gotan Project
trance-tango you might have heard in a few ads and TV shows/movies. The last 20 seconds is my favorite part. cool and slinky. yup.
5) Usti, Usti Baba [Altiplano Mix] - Taraf de Haïdouks, Koçani Orkestar; Señor Coconut
An official mix! Balkan cumbia what? hahahaha. I have no idea what the screaming man and dog at the end is about. I think it's a weird CD break; it fits the next song on the album better.
I should go sleep now.

hi everyone
13 February 2009 00:25OH MY GOSH THEY MENTIONED AMEDEI CHOCOLATE ON 30 ROCK
LOOK AT THE PACKAGING I SAVED ON THE RIGHT
SO WORTH SAVING MONEY FOR
Also, found out that Hershey's is closing down the Scharffen Berger plant in Berkeley
NOOOOO
why take over a brand and then expand so much when YOU CAN'T EVEN KEEP THE ORIGINAL THING STILL GOING
there should have been something in the contract that mentioned "keep the old plant running"
they've been making much of the chocolate at other plants for a few years now, and there hasn't been a big dip in quality
okay I'll do the boycott thing
but I'll miss the nibs and specialty blends especially
and I'll still wear the shirt

Also (I don't think it's too spoilery to say this much outside of cut?): Gilbert is my favorite new character of the year so far. Even if I'm not much into 80's music and Nietzsche. I especially like how he used the leaf while dancing XD

meme questions fromacidpenguin46:
1) What is one food that you can never get enough of?
Just one food?
Chocolate, salmon, Ligo sardines, good cannoli with real ricotta, good gnocchi, flan, raspberries, fresh peaches, pluots, sinigang with good tamarind…
I really like food.
2) Your life suddenly turns into a musical, where every word you hear is spoken in song and even your friends page reads like a lyric website. How do you react?
This is most of my life already, save for the friends page business. I'm only partly kidding. I THINK IN MUSICAL NUMBERS
How would I react? I would sing and dance along, chuckling a bit here and there.
3) You're trapped in a tiny room with one person or object of your choice. Who or what is it, and what purpose will they serve for the period of time you're spent confined in that room?
I really want to grow an orchid for some reason. I remember seeing orchids since I was little and thinking “what is that crazy flower?” So I guess the room has a small hole with dirt and I have to learn how to tame the orchid fungus or something. I want a really cool one with some black in it. I remember first hearing about the black orchid in some cheap syndicated jungle action-adventure show. I’ve been fascinated ever since.
Or I could at least have my zebrina plant Ophelia back.
4) Do you have a favourite number, and if you do is there a story behind it, or is it just a random number?
16. Ever since I was four years old. Something about the numbers just seemed right for each other. Now I know about the certain references the two numbers possess, but to me it’s something about the red numbers being on a white background.
5) You find a dumpster baby. What do you do with it?
Find a responsible parent through organizations
RAISE HIM OR HER IN THE WAYS OF THE NINJA

Reach Out - Music Go Music
I've posted this song twice already, but if you haven't heard it, please give it a try. It is ABBA meets Black Mountain, people! I dare you not to sing along and pump your fist to this!
there is a fire in me
I burn w empathy
dear let compassion reign
call out my name
and face the flame!
Ready For the Floor (live on Jimmy Kimmel) - Hot Chip
pleasant electronic pop
Rich - the Yeah Yeah Yeahs
raw and dirty yay
Riders in the Sky(A Cowboy Legend) - Peggy Lee
One time, a local radio station played at least half a day of covers of this song. Each one was awesome.
Run, Pig, Run - Queens of the Stone Age
I like the high tension atmosphere in this.
Rosier - High and Mighty Color
Luna Sea cover. I like how it's both peppy J-pop and grr metal at once. Cute melody too.
Radio mix - Olga Tañon
Mix of most of the big hits of the merengue singer. Gets all the best parts while dispensing with most (though, sadly, not all) of the twinkly production parts.

I feel like bringing this meme out again.
I have a list of characters, numbered 1-20. Please leave a comment asking one or more questions about the characters, like...
"If 1 and 2 went out for ice cream, what flavors would they pick, and who would pay?"
Feel free to be creative, though anything too too too dirty will gain you an angryface.
Suggested topics:
secret agent stuff
mega-super-complicated prompts
music and band stuff
fashion
epic space westerns
to give you an idea of how cracktastic this turns out, here is an example from the previous time, with the character names filled in. It doesn't even have to be a question, just a situation:
5 (Blair) and 12 (Ianto) got married and gave birth to 20 (Cthulhu?!) but 5 (Blair) cheated with 1 (Yoda).
character identities for your questions will be revealed in several days.

to give you an idea of how cracktastic this turns out, here is an example from the previous time, with the character names filled in. It doesn't even have to be a question, just a situation:
5 (Blair) and 12 (Ianto) got married and gave birth to 20 (Cthulhu?!) but 5 (Blair) cheated with 1 (Yoda).
character identities for your questions will be revealed in several days.

12 January 2009 01:21Yesterday was the first time I didn't actively watch a major awards show. I used to care so much about these things, especially in elementary school. I guess I liked the atmosphere, liked pretending like I was there. But now, I don't care as much. I did watch a few minutes here and there. I usually don't like it when people say they'll catch the best parts of a TV show online the next day, but I now I feel that such an attitude is acceptable for a three-hour awards show. It's nice if a show or person I wanted to win did win (yay for other people recognizing greatness!), but being a fan of less mainstream-popular TV shows and movies has made me learn that an award doesn't really affect my judgement about a show or actor or actress or director or composer or whatever.

I think that last sentence needs more words to make it work.

awesome meme stolen from jetaimerai:
The rules: Put your MP3 player on shuffle, and write down the first line of the first twenty songs. Post the poem that results. The first line of the twenty-first is the title.
this is an interesting experiment.
Do you dream like a baby blackbird
In through the maze through your reflection
a new day, another morning after
at the party in your head
ah, so
Rechiflao en mi tristeza hoy te evoco y veo que has sido
shave our heads
iitai koto o sagashitsukarete kekka mudaguchi haite bakari
(Getting tired of trying to think of what to say, so I just spew out a bunch of bullshit)
fear and panic in the air
one pill makes you larger
look at him working
Now I’m empty, look empty and blue somehow
I'm in your garden now
He's a what he's a what he's a newspaper man
you do something to me
I started out a jungle MC
The witch is on your trail
this is just banter
I certainly haven't been shopping for any new shoes
welcome
should you plan to travel way down South
Porque no voy a luchar por tu amor
the most interesting thing about King Charles the First

Hey hey I finally finished House of Leaves. Pretty good, with the right mix of horror and warmth. It didn't astound me with brilliance, though, more settled and lingered in my mind. I totally freaked out, though, when I was looking at the mirror in the bathroom while turning off the light, and the sudden change made me see something dark looming right behind me. Of course it was just eye light flash things. yeah. I tried it again, and it'd didn't happen. I guess my eyes adjusted to the on-off thing.
You know we've never gone inside the attic here? First of all, we don't know how to open the door.
I was inspired to read the book because of a Penny Arcade comic. I tried looking for it again, but archive and Google searches turned up nothing.
ooh old meme. I'll get to some others later.
