Whatever Happened to John Hughes?
Even though he’s been absent from Hollywood for years, John Hughes’ influence remains. [via]
Vintage HBO
Remember back when we first got HBO in the 80s? And before every movie they played a little intro? Here’s a video of the making of that intro. Really supercool to see how they put it together, in the pre-CGI age.
Weekend Wrapup
Did everyone have a nice weekend? Ours was full of food and fun – my two favorite things. Saturday night the geekboy and I decided to do something different and went ice-skating. A hockey rink recently opened about a mile away and they offer public skating when the ice isn’t being used. So we went! I’d only been skating once (about three years ago) and the geekboy hadn’t been since he was a young kid. Didn’t stop us, though. The rink was nearly empty; probably due to the fact that people don’t know it’s there and being the holiday weekend. So we had a lot of room to make mistakes and flail about. It took me a few laps around to find my footing, although as soon as I let my guard down I took a hard fall right on my ass. It still hurts today. The geekboy didn’t fall at all, yay. It was really fun and I hope to return often and become more comfortable on the ice.
Happy Easter

Happy Easter! Enjoy your Sunday. Whether it’s spent celebrating or whether it’s just a regular day – have a chocolate bunny. Jesus would have wanted it that way.
South Park – Britney’s New Look

Did you see this week’s episode of South Park about Britney Spears? Genius, tragic and spot-on. Watch it here.
Michael Stipe Speaks Out
The other day, a bunch of gossip rags reported that Michael Stipe had “come out.” I don’t know what rocks these people have been living under, as he’s been out for years. Anyway, this is pretty amusing.
Obviously I’ve Died and Gone to Heaven
Joss Whedon. Neil Patrick Harris. Nathan Fillion. A musical.
Rufus Photos
I managed to get a couple of not-sucky photos from the Blackout Sabbath event the other night.
