Have been resting my hands today. Yes, really. And applying lotion to them about once an hour, because damn. I tend to heal quickly--anywhere but on my hands. Tomorrow I finally break into the uber-expensive white gold and finish a pendant for a commission. ...I am trying not to be nervous. I've done this a million times with much more difficult wire, right? ...Right? ...Don't answer that. I'll be fine, I'm sure.
Finally, if all goes according to plan, going to get to see Tron: Legacy on Sunday, in IMAX 3-D. I know because there's a rental charge for glasses. And an extra mysterious "service charge" after that. It's a racket, but I want to see me some over-the-top geeky goodness (AND LIGHTCYCLES). Even if I have many reasons to believe that I will be ranting vividly the moment I walk out of the theater. So maybe you'll stop dicking around and finally release the original movie on bluray, Disney? Hm?
I'm surprised that I didn't link to this article already (apparently), but it's good enough to link to now. The Year She Stopped Arguing Whether Video Games Are Art focuses around thatgamecompany's Kellee Santiago, the woman who sort of accidentally started Roger Ebert's uninformed opinion that video games could never be art. Interesting read. I am so looking forward to Journey.
I feel the need to point creative/artistic/crafting eyes toward Adele Sciortino's Costuming and Trim Newsletter, because I don't think I ever have before. It's totally worth signing up for the newsletter if you do anything with fabric, but specifically for "you doll people". *grin* The ideas, patterns and tips (even in PDF format, which tends to not agree with this computer) are amazing and perhaps a little dangerous. And it's free, which is, you know, good.
Emily Carroll's art is simply gorgeous. There's a lot of playfulness and women with those classic sci-fi/"intelligent vixen" smiles, and a little leading you into the dark without letting go of your hand when it comes to those dream journal images. I love those most of all. Feels a little like we may have bumped into the same worlds sometimes. *snort*
Donkey Kong Country Returns has some surprisingly gorgeous concept art.
Tron papercraft and such. It's all just so precious.
Once again Ursula Vernon manages to choose better words than I ever could with On the importance of stabbing your readers in the brain. "A vague generalization is a pile of Styrofoam peanuts, a specific example is a knife. You are trying to stab your readers in the brain."
Thank you so, so much, Steve Johnson. A YouTube channel devoted to behind the scenes footage of kick-ass movies and incredible effects that some of us have never seen. Total geek-on. So many animatronics!
Stan Lee reading "T'was the Night Before Christmas". Dude. And there is even a precious moment of almost-perversion. *grin* Spoilers: look out for the ending there. Made me laugh, at least.
