I am like an infant in that I need routines. And since I was just a victim of the economy a little over a week ago, my routines have been shot to Hades. Crap.
Mail Order Zombie, my fave podcast, is as much a victim as I am. Not to mention the 9,000 other podcasts I listen to. I will be remedying that shortly.
My Bloglines? Totally victimized. I logged in today, saw over 300 entries, and shut the entire Internet off, choosing to cower under my afghan rather than confront the angry little highlighted numbers.
Man. Even nerdgirls need routine.

Print your own fabric?
Check this site out, I'm so excited to try it that I'm going to work up a little design this weekend. Something tells me it will consist of robots or spaceships.
You upload an image/design, and you can have your own custom fabric printed. It's pricey at $18 a yard, but could be totally worth it, and I can have all the geektastic fabric I can handle.

I can't wait!

Heroes Rewinding Again
Yeah, I know you've all been waiting for my rant about Heroes this week. So here goes.
What was this episode? A platform for one funny Jiffy Pop joke, and some extra Robert Forster time. Oh, and to bring back Eric Roberts.
Yep, pretty much a treading water for no good reason episode.
What's that you say? "Stacey, you're being too harsh." "Stacey, stop trashing the flashback episode, I like to know the past."
Nope, not gonna happen.
Look, some of it was interesting, I liked to see the dynamic between the Petrelli family a little more in depth. I also thought they did do a nice job tying everything together neatly, the train bit was a nice touch. For once the show didn't leave a lot of holes.
But, for the most part, this episode didn't move anything forward. How lovely to see that Sylar, and Claire's real mom could have had very different lives. How nice to see what might have been if Linderman didn't suddenly find a little bit of a heart (or not, because he may have just been trying to screw with Papa Petrelli).
But all of these things happened in the past, and don't point us toward any direction that the show is going to take. We have these multiple future histories that are being pushed in our faces most weeks, and I don't know about you, but I really just want to know where those are going.
The fact that Sylar and Elle met previously did nothing for me. I know I sound like a jerk right now, but please. I know heads are already rolling over at the production company, hopefully the next round of people will right this ship, and give us what we want. Which is resolution, our favorites using/keeping their powers, and less of Claire's lame flame throwing mother...
Take a look at what The Sarah Connor Chronicles, and Fringe are doing. Good, and improving writing!
Okay, done...

Say WHAT?
From IWatchStuff:
Spielberg Remaking 'Oldboy'--with WILL SMITH
Steven Spielberg (Duel) is in talks to remake the Korean film Oldboy with Will Smith (co-rapper, Summertime) in the lead. Not a joke:
Steven Spielberg and Will Smith are in early discussions to collaborate on a remake of Chan Wook-park's "Oldboy." DreamWorks is in the process of securing the remake rights, and the new pic will be distributed by Universal.
In the 2003 Korean original, a man gets kidnapped and held in a shabby cell for 15 years without explanation. Suddenly, he's released and given money, a cell phone and clothes and is set on a path to discover who destroyed his life so he can take revenge.
Spielberg had been looking for an opportunity to make a film with Smith, who would play the kidnapped man if all the pieces fall into place. Spielberg is looking for a writer to begin the development process.
It's official, kiddies - Spielberg has lost his mind. What happened to actually casting a movie, rather than saying, "Hey, let's remake this good movie, but put a bunch of 'bankable' names in it and see where it goes?"
Jeez.
