Last night, I went to see Oz at the Cinerama! It happened to be conveniently on a bus route that I was on, and I had been wanting to go there anyways. It’s a historic theater that a Seattleite rescued from destruction and updated. So, it has both the latest …
I had no idea who was playing in the Super Bowl until today, when I caught up on the ads via YouTube and other such sites. (How long before the networks and/or NFL start offering a midnight-2am commercial replay that is DVR-friendly? And seriously, why haven’t they already? More airplay …
So, there’s a show coming out on NBC called Revolution. DH mentioned this show to me a few nights ago and described the premise. I proceeded to have an intellectual hissyfit: DH: The premise is that an EMP kind of thing takes out everything electronic, and it’s 15 years later, …
