Wish we were all in Fargo, snowed in at Ralph's for New Year's. But, since we aren't, here's a bitchin' Prince party song.

The Troll Hunter - Official Trailer

Finally got Those Comic Sketches



Hey Deutero Isaiah - I finally got those sketch cards that I ordered back in April or May of '09 - I think they're totally worth the wait - pretty bad ass. Did you ever get that Thor one you ordered? I know at some point I emailed him to update my new address... maybe you did too. If you did get it or if you do get it please post it. I'd love to see it.

First Trailer for Thor



Looks good. I hadn't realized Anthony Hopkins would be Odin. That's a nice choice.

So this big debate on science and ethics happened at Arizona State. Some heavy-hitters on the philosophy side took part (only one participant was from ASU, and I don't know who that guy is, but the visiting philosophers Peter Singer, Simon Blackburn, and Patricia Churchland are all bigshots). I haven't watched all of it yet, but it looks pretty great.

Dirk Gently



It looks like they're making a tv series out of Douglas Adams's "Dirk Gently" books (which are pretty great books). It looks pretty good. How do I get BBC 4?

I Have Mixed Feelings About This



It's mostly a mixture of lots of different very uncomfortable feelings, though.

The Maria Bamford Show



Kelsi pointed out some good Maria Bamford stuff to me recently. I highly recommend all 20 episodes of the Maria Bamford Show, all easily findable on youtube. She was also on an episode of Marc Maron's podcast WTF.
