Here’s a gallery of books covers<\/a> of H.G. Wells’s (is that apostrophe right? I can never remember the rule for words ending in “S”) War of the Worlds. Note the covers of some of the editions from the mid- and late 1960s. Trés trippy. Looks like a few artists were doing book covers to fund the occasional acid weekend.
\nWith the impending visit of my friend, I need to remind myself to go out and buy some real food. I think all I have in my kitchen right now is a box of Cheez-Its and some stale Pringles. Oh, and here’s a couple pieces of hard candy on my desk. I have a deck on my building that has several grills, so I have a feeling we’ll be utilizing that a lot. As long as he’s not expecting me to bake a quiche, I think we’ll be okay.
\nHayden Christensen annoyed the hell out of me in the second Star Wars movie, but I recently saw him in Shattered Glass<\/a> and he actually impressed me in that film. He plays Stephen Glass, the reporter at the New Republic who decided that made-up stories were more interesting to write than anything real life has to offer. He brought just the right amount of whiny obsequiousness to the role to make it compelling but not grating. I hear the real Stephen Glass is now an attorney. How the hell did he get past the character fitness portion of bar admission? Believe it or not, character does count when someone applies for the bar, although admittedly the standards can be somewhat subjective.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
