From time to time I do a digital house-cleaning, where I blog about bits and pieces of things I did and pictures I took that by themselves don’t really deserve an entire blog entry, or they have totally stopped being topical, or I never really knew what I was going to say about it.<\/p>\n

Here’s an example that fits all the criteria. A few months ago I won free tickets to see Yuen Woo-Ping’s new movie during Fantastic Fest. The fest gave him some sort of award just before the movie, which was presented from some dude from the Wu-Tang Clan (the RZA I think).
\n
\nIt was a kinda neat moment, but hardly historical or even particularly meaningful.<\/p>\n

While visiting the Sci-Fi archives earlier this year, I took this picture.
\n
\nIt didn’t fit thematically with the rest of the blog post<\/a> I did, yet I was very impressed that Texas A&amp;M is the sort of place where people can just leave their bikes lying around.<\/p>\n

Austin now has a beer co-op. Nobody is really sure what that means, but if I was the sort of person who hung around at a neighborhood bar, I might hang around there.
\n<\/p>\n

I rented Brigadoon <\/span>last week. I’d never seen it and the name keeps coming up, so I thought I would give it a shot.
\n
\nAfter watching so much Bollywood, it struck me that old Hollywood musicals are really quite slow. There’s whole scenes where they just shuffle around staring into space. Where’s the exposed midriffs? Where’s the item number? Where’s the part where Gene Kelly lip-syncs to rap?<\/p>\n

And this Thanksgiving I missed a cultural event of massive proportions. Apparently the Macy’s parade had a couple of Superflat Murakami balloons.
\n
\nThere’s a great video, here<\/a>, where we see the surreal balloons looming into view through the Manhattan canyons while a little girl starts to cry, "It’s creepy! It’s creepy!"<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
