the gamblin colors website is amazingly useful. i'm pleasantly surprised. among other things, they make galkyd. i found the site doing a search for info on flake white.
thus far, over the past few months, my cd-r drive, zip drive, hard drive, and most recently, my keyboard have all died. this has not been my semester. come to think of it, i think this string of bad luck all started with my car dying at the end of the summer.
looks like new evidence out supporting the Out of Africa theory of human origins. this news (ap report) does not concern you if you are a creationist. *snicker*

so, i just finished watching the first part of the new dune miniseries, and i'd be lying if i said i wasn't disappointed. for a while i suppose, i've had my expectations unrealistically raised based on the wrtier/director's comments, parroting about sticking close to frank herbert's original and all that jazz. well, unfortunately, even with 4 extra hours, the miniseries ends up chopping/changing almost more important stuff than david lynch's version. many of the characterizations are just plain wrong. i guess the main problem is that it's such a shallow, surface interpretation of the work. it sure looks nice, but it just misses the point on so many of the characters. you sorta wonder what the time was spent on instead (that's my otehr big beef, the pacing and direction suck). pretty lights though.
