Stream of Consciousness / Good News

« on: February 02, 2005, 01:29:23 PM »

This topic is for exactly that: news that makes you feel good. Stories that have a happy ending. Events that make you think: "Hey, maybe there is justice in this world!"

Like this for instance- say you're an actor/model and you posed for a pic back in 1986, made about $250, and then went on your way until eventually you give up your dream of being a star and got a teaching job.

Now imagine that the photo you took back in '86 had actually been used by a company but you didn't get paid for it. You didn't even know about it until a few years ago when you actually see your damn pic on the product.

Stream of Consciousness / Michael Jackson

« on: February 01, 2005, 08:49:14 AM »

So, I saw that VH1 The Secret Childhood of Michael Jackson thing- wow. It was amazingly lurid. And poorly written.

And, of course, I couldn't stop watching.

I've seen about 2/3rds of the Bashir interview when it originally aired here- so I've seen the young man's face whose accused MJ.

Guilty? Yeah, I'd come to that conclusion given the evidence. I'd also have to admit that said boy & his Mom aren't exactly naive hayseeds.

Bad scene. Not gonna end well for Michael no matter what. But, you reap what you sow.

If he's found innocent (doubtful) he should move to Scandanavia- where they think he's the greatest thing ever.

From time to time we all come across wacky stuff on the 'net that we want to share.

Found this animated gif while trolling around at FameTracker. It concerns a telephone conversation between 2 celebrity friends...

Because the papers want to know "Who shot you where?",

NOT whose shirts you wear....

Stream of Consciousness / Beej's Gallery

I thought I'd make a place to post the various nutty pics I've made and/or found over the years.

All this talk of Magic Flutes & Whodoo & Witchie Poo reminds me of a pic I created for a Television Without Pity Pixel Challenge. The topic was: create a tabloid magazine cover based on a TV show....

Stream of Consciousness / A Poll

« on: January 21, 2005, 10:53:40 AM »

So, are we going to stay here or what?

Please note: I just set this up to show y'all the slendor & wonder of the 'poll' function.

I've become used to this type of forum-software what with goofing off with the Brits over at CG. So, I can hang here no problem.
