Satie Sundays…

So, I know the title is rather uninspiring, but that’s what I get for wanting to write a new post RIGHT after the last one. This is about all the cool links I have spent reading today on the ‘net.

First up is a dissection of Fight Club as really Calvin & Hobbes grown up. It may be quite a stretch, but man is it an interesting read. It definitely speaks to me in a lot of ways which may be why I really enjoy it. You might wanna try it for a read it’s quite interesting. Continuing on the Calvin and Hobbes line which will eventually veer away we see them as grown-ups in this delightful drawing. Now, we can go and veer off towards Peanuts.

In our beloved Peanuts world, I have discovered so many awesome links today it will be hard to synthesize them all. Of my favorites I have but two. This one in particular combines my love of Peanuts and anime. Finally, coming at the right time for The Watchmen movie’s release on March 6 is one cool version of the Peanuts cast as The Watchmen. We will all watch this movie to prepare to be disappointed, but I just ask you all — just enjoy it for being able to see the Watchmen with really awesome graphic effects.

A nice short read that makes you think because we all read sentences that are way too long is this post that linked me to Sci-Fi stories in six words. Other Sci-Fi that is longer, but I will gladly give props to is Tad Williams’ Otherland series, Herbert’s Dune, and anything by Philip K. Dick.

Interesting article that combines the usefulness of internet activism and the insanity of lolcats cuteness/banality. I won’t pretend to analyze the article here nor will I. I expect all of my readers to be used to doing analysis on their own, and in fact, if they want my analysis will ask for it personally. Either way, this article was intensely interesting.

All of these wonderful posts come from MetaFilter, a wonderful community weblog. You have to pay $5 to post for the rest of your life and register, but it’s more than worth it. So much information has come my way from MeFi that it’s insane. On the other hand, don’t be an ass. It’s for intellegent commenting and such. Anyways, here are the links: Peanuts, Six Word Stories, LOLCats Activism.

Ciao for the second time today,

Cesare.

P.S. I should really learn to stop absentmindedly closing windows and thank the Flying Spaghetti Monster for autosave.

P.P.S. Also, Satie is the last name of one Erik who wrote what he titled “furniture music.” The reason he’s part of my Sunday is well his last name is alliterative, and that’s what I’ve mostly been doing today…furniture writing.
