Tonight's music: AIRtest.
found via Warren, who has this description: "It’s techno, played by a jew’s-harpist and a vocalist/beatboxer from Hungary and a didgeridoo player from Germany. Acoustic Goa."

My usual Sunday office job bailed on me today, (no one had booked the building for the Sunday after New Year's, so there was no reason to have anyone there. Scary, financially, but not unexpected), so Ray and I decided to step out and see The Golden Compass instead. Not really sure what there is to say about it, except that it wasn't as bad as I was expecting. I like the idea of a children's movie that's anti-indoctrination, but was not particularly thrilled with the formulaic, predictable plot or the overly drawn out fight scenes. Oh! And the bear! Ian McKellen playing a warrior polar bear prince, that's great! Now could you please not let his character lose gravity every time he runs? Basic animation principles, people, basic!

Ah well, I also pointed out the poor copy and flawed marketing in the Earl's drink menu booklet, too, when we went to dinner before the movie, so perhaps I'm really not in any position to be attempting to discuss design like a normal human being.

Dan Johnson says,

Three weeks from today (Sunday the 27th) is Lewis Carroll's birthday, which means once again it's time for your LiveJournal to fall down a rabbit hole and document a different sort of day from the ones you always have. Get away from the same-old and be someone else, somewhere else, doing something else for a change!
