I have a soft spot for this spam/virus I just received. In fact, I love it.

Planes, Trains, and Vaporettos

Just back from 8 glorious days in Italy… jet lagged like nobody’s business, but replete…

Thinking about all the forms of travel required to get from here to Florence, around Tuscany, to Venice, back to Florence, and back to San Francisco. Looks a bit like this (not including copious amounts of time spent on foot):

taxi, plane, bus, plane, taxi, taxi, car (rental), car (friend), car (rental), taxi, train, boat(s), train, taxi, plane, taxi

All that’s missing is the rickshaw!

Sometimes Sleeping Is Hard

Christopher Null — Mon, 26 Apr 2010 16:23:15 +0000

Had insane dreams last night. People (even some dead ones) from the distant past playing major roles. Espionage and hitmen after me, holed up in a hotel room. My kids were overgrown to 5’6″ tall (but still 4-7 years old).

Things got so weird I was woken up and told that I was having a crazy dream, then went back to sleep.

But that was part of the dream, too.

The hitman/hotel story continued where it left off.

Still not sure if I’m up.

2010 Best Picture Oscar Nominees by Main Character’s Occupation

Christopher Null — Wed, 03 Mar 2010 20:52:49 +0000

Want to make a hit movie? Here’s what your main character ought to do for a living… at least per 2010′s 10 Best Picture Oscar nominees*.

* Presumes The Blind Side is actually about Michael Oher and not Leigh Anne Tuohy. If you disagree, adjust chart accordingly.

For kicks, adding in the occupation of the 20 Best Actor/Actress and Supporting Actor/Actress nominees (includes some movies more than once).

How Much to Delete this Post?

I wonder if the critic got any of the $400,000? That’s like $1000 a word… nice!

Last month, Variety panned a thriller called Iron Cross. But the review has been disappeared from Variety‘s web site, which probably has something to do with the $400,000 Iron Cross‘ producers paid to Variety for an awards campaign.
