'Sup Guys

Man, I don't even know where to begin. Probably the most important order of business right now is the drastic visual change we've just gone through, largely because I thought that it was time for our little site to look a bit prettier on this big, scary internet. So hopefully you guys still can dig it, and I'll probably keep tweaking it in the near future. Blogger is a bit of a pain to work with if you've got something other than their predetermined templates in mind, so I spent most of the afternoon wrestling with this sucker. Anyways, I think it's pretty cool, and hope you like it too.

What else is up? Not much, but that in itself is something. I'm back and collegiate right now, listening to Beatles RockBand in a dorm room right now, which doesn't actually translate to anything related to this corner of the internet right now. However, other than revamping the site, I've got a few little things planned for the future. I'd really like to keep the Bali blog momentum/focus going, but that would require subject matter. It's not a thematic plan, but you can expect more of these quasi-meditative posts on theme and genre and that sort of thing. I'm starting to enjoy it, and quite frankly you guys don't need me hashing out all the plot details and other obvious stuff whenever I review something. But I'm still going to try and keep up with the Tartar Sauce, once I get back and settled with the internet. And I think it'll work out; we're just different enough so that I can devote different energies to both while not cheating the other.

Cool, glad you all cared about that enough to stick with it. Substantively, I skipped a movie for probably the first time since I started the blog, "Sherlock Holmes," largely because I ran out of time and focus and all that good stuff. It's hard coming back from abroad. I might get to it in a belated fashion, but on the Tartar Sauce. In the mean time, I've yet to get to a movie out here, but I aim to (once the indie selection gets good), try and get a few more than usual in this spring. And I've been really slacking on music as of late, but I've been having plenty of epiphanies to keep me going. Problem is, I missed the new music train whilst in LA, so it'll be a while until I get something worthy of review/thought. But, as always, I aim to get back into that scene. 'Cause music is super awesome.

Right. And how are you guys, my few/proud/brave? Ready for another round of rambling reviews? Dealing with the visual transition and huge text blocks okay? Glad you could make it again. I'm looking forward to this immediate future of pop-culture shenanigans.
