Geeks!

To Me, My Geeks!

Other than the Imperial March, what good supervillain music is there out there?

Ummmm

To Me, My Geeks!

Montrealers: If one were looking for affordable polished gems (ie not faceted, glass is better than plastic but plastic will do in a pinch), where would one go? Previous to their bankruptcy I would have gone to Excalibor (just to give you an idea of what I'm looking for here).

Gratzi!

Edit: I'm looking for something roughly the size of a robin's egg, if that's any help.

To Me, My Geeks!

Fantasy set in the Victorian Era: Recommendations?

Open to - but not exclusively - Steampunk, of which I can find few examples.

Geeks!

To Me, My Geeks!

Specifically those of you who are old enough to remember the 80s...

What movies and/or tv shows specifically 'define' that era for you?

EDIT: Okay, I'm locking this post because people can't play nice.

Geeks!

To Me, My Geeks!

Post-apocalyptic spec fic: Recommendations?

Hit me!

(Doesn't have to be nuclear holocausts, either - zombie holocaust, vampire holocaust, alien invasion holocaust, you name it. Go!)

Assume I've already read THE STAND and WORLD WAR Z.

Thanks!

Geeks!

To Me, My Geeks! Again!

Okay, let's open up the "theatre experience on film" to any era, shall we? I'm thinking Shakespeare in Love, Looking for Richard, All That Jazz, Bullets Over Broadway, Cabaret, Waiting for Guffman, The Producers, The Dresser, Chaplin, A Prairie Home Companion, Slings & Arrows sort of stuff.

Hit me with 'em, folks!

Thanks!

Geeks!

To Me, My Geeks!

Tell me about movies and/or television series and/or books concerning theatre in the 19th Century, a la Topsy Turvy or Moulin Rouge. Even Tombstone touches upon the subject a little.

Squirrelly Wrath

Medical assistance

Okay, so... anyone have any home remedies for canker sores? I've had one for far too long, and the usual "rinse mouth with salt water" isn't working.

Website

I really need a new look for http://www.talyesin.com - any suggestions?

Mar. 20th, 2007

Ummmm

To me, My Geeks!

Health/dietary question:

Since everything good for you is also, somehow, bad for you, what's the deal with dried fruit?

Good for you?

Bad for you?

Specifically, dried:

Strawberries
Bananas
Dates
Apricots


Thanks!

Geeks!

To me, My Geeks!

Anyone local have a copy of How to Draw Anime/Manga they could loan me?

Or else link me to sites offering something similar?

I figure if I'm going to Anime North, I might as well sell some stuff in the Art Show and maybe defer some of the cost a little.

Ad Astra 2007 - Notes

FINALLY getting around to transcribing my Ad-Astra notes )
Ummmm

To me, My Geeks!

Anybody know how much it costs to rent a car for a weekend and drive down to the US? (And back, obviously?) Most of the rental sites are singularly unhelpful.

To me, My Geeks!

Okay, an uncontroversial topic for a change:

Are there any small local sci-fi/fantasy/spec fic bookstores left in Montreal, or was the late lamented Nebula the last of a dying breed?

Feb. 20th, 2007

Ummmm

To me, My Geeks!

Quick! What kind of wine goes well with an Indian curry chicken?

Feb. 5th, 2007

Geeks!

To me, my Geeks!

Barring a Blackberry with the fold-out keyboard, what's the smallest, lightest available laptop?

I can't seem to find one less than 5lbs/8x11x2.

Dec. 19th, 2006

Ummmm

Medical advice?

Quite possibly TMI )

Dec. 17th, 2006

Ummmm

Going to the mattresses

Anyone know how much a halfway decent double mattress costs? I need a new one, or at least, a semi-good condition used one, because the one I have now is killing my back.

Dec. 4th, 2006

Ummmm

Talifornia II: The Xmas Xtravaganza

Anyone have any idea what the new carryon regulations are for flying to the U.S.? Can I bring contact lens solution? What about my AlphaSmart word processor?

Oct. 17th, 2006

Ummmm

Scheduling woes

Okay, so, is there a computer scheduler/calendar that allows you to see more than one month at a time? Ideally, an entire year on one screen?

Sunbird and Google Calendar only show one month.
