Movie Blunders Some pretty neat pictures on this page, although I think one or two of them might be photoshopped, but I know for sure that some of them isn’t. I’m lookin’ at you Mr. Stormtrooper.
Miss Me?
I’ll publish an actual post on Monday night. I’ve been preparing mid-term grades and haven’t had time for anything else. Until then, please take this opportunity to enjoy the video for Loreena McKennitt’s “The Mummer’s Dance.” As the hot summer days give way to the inevitability of fall’s embrace, this is the type of music […]
