Since I can't remember half the stuff I spewed out this year (I barely know what I'm writing half the time anyways), here, instead, is a few of my favorite things. Best TV Show (drama)- "Battlestar Galactica" Why I like this show is because it thinks big-- big themes, big action, big drama, big story, big music, big everything. At times (like the episode where they finally get off New Caprica) the show feels almost movie big. But the best part of it is that it's also small in it's way. Shows like "24" or "Lost" might have interesting characters, but for the most part, the characters react to the action. That's not necessarily true on "BSG" because often the action comes because of the characters. For instance, the driving force in the Cylon's occupying New Caprica was partly because a few characters discovered what love means. Which yes, sounds kind of lame until you consider that the whole occupying thing was kind of nasty and that one character plotted the destruction of mankind, another shot Capt. Adama, and the third blew herself and her ship up with a nuclear warhead. Awesome. more ›

The Year 2005 has finally come to an end, and none too soon. It kind of blew. We have higher hopes for 2006. more ›

Blogs. They're either what's right or what's wrong with the Internet specifically and the collective media consciousness in general -- depending on whom you ask. Me, I kinda like blogs, but then I like to read and I like to write, and really, is it much more complicated than that? I'm the kind of person who's constantly finding a new favorite medium. But at about two years, this is the longest relationship I've had with any one in particular. Oh, I still like to flirt with printing, photography, audio and video. But if I'm a media technology whore, then the blogosphere is the abusive pimp I just keep coming back to. more ›
