Right now I’m loving/hating…
Loving everything that encompasses the giant ego of William Shatner. Despite having always claimed a love for him, it only ever went as far as an affection for his role in Star Trek and the collaborative album with Ben Folds, Has Been. More recently however, the GF bought me his autobiography Up Till Now, (which I can’t recommend highly enough) and my eyes were opened up to the greatness that is William Shatner and his current alter ego Denny Crane. Hating that it took reading his autobiography to realise that Boston Legal is actually a spin-off of The Practice and that the last few episodes of this show introduced the likes of Denny Crane. I originally was of the opinion that the first season of Boston Legal started far too abruptly and I hadn’t continued watching it, until now that is.
Loving taking a trip down retro science fiction lane. I recently came across the blog of Adam “Mojo” Lebowitz who works as the visual effects supervisor on Battlestar Galactica, having previously worked on Star Trek Voyager and Babylon 5. Not only does he have interesting insights into his current work, he has also been posting some great behind the scenes stories and images about the visual effects from Babylon 5 and Voyager, making me want to go watch them all over again. Hating that I don’t have either of them on DVD.
Loving how easy Spiceidipity has made baking mouthwatering treats, without even having to worry about evil additives, because everything is 100% natural. Over the weekend the GF, Katie and I went to work on the Brownie Mix and the Oatmeal Chocolate Chip Cookie Mix. By literally just adding some eggs, butter and a little icing we ended up with all of these amazing treats. Hating how completely addicted I am to the cookies, though I do now have a whole new appreciation for oats!
