Teeth and Knobs
 by Fëanor

  • I hadn't really had much interest in Spielberg's new movie, Munich, but the trailer (via The Movie Blog) is pretty impressive. Maybe this one's worth paying attention to after all.


  • Well, Dracula Blogged finally came to the end of the novel yesterday. I make fun of Bram Stoker a lot, but I read the entire book again this way, and the ending is really gripping and even genuinely moving. He builds the suspense and tension until your heart is in your throat, and then brings everything and everyone together in one final explosive rush. And then there's the concluding death scene, which nearly brought a tear to my eye. Good stuff.


  • Thanks go to Sarcasmo for linking to this lovely little movie called An Eye for Annai. It's cute and sweet and beautifully animated. I particularly like the octopi.


  • Wow. Apparently there was a Ten Commandments musical, and it is now becoming a movie, starring Val Kilmer as Moses. Sometimes the world is a strange and perplexing place.


  • There's always rumors of a Genesis reunion floating about somewhere, but this time it's Mr. Phil Collins himself who's starting them. Well, I'll keep my fingers crossed, but I won't hold my breath. (Thanks to Todd for sending this information my way.)


  • Bush Orders Ethics Training for White House Aides - Ah, that'll take care of all those scandals and ethics violations! Nice work, Mr. President!


  • Bert?! Aw, man. I'm not sure there's any muppet I'd like to be less. I guess it might be pretty accurate, though...but I think they've overestimated the extent to which I'm an anal clean-freak. I'll admit that impulse is in me, but it's generally overpowered by my natural laziness.

    Bert
    You scored 68% Organization, 53% abstract, and 61% extroverted!
    This test measured 3 variables.

    First, this test measured how organized you are. Some muppets like Cookie Monster make big messes, while others like Bert are quite anal about things being clean.

    Second, this test measured if you prefer a concrete or an abstract viewpoint. For the purposes of this test, concrete people are considered to gravitate more to mathematical and logical approaches, whereas abstract people are more the dreamers and artistic type.

    Third, this test measured if you are more of an introvert or an extrovert. By definition, an introvert concentrates more on herself and an extrovert focuses more on others. In this test an introvert was somebody that either tends to spend more time alone or thinks more about herself.

    You are very organized, both concrete and abstract, and both introverted and extroverted.

    Here is why are you Bert.

    You are both very organized. You almost always know where your belongings are and you prefer things neat. You may even enjoy cleaning and find it therapeutic. Bert is a big neat freak and gets quite annoyed when Ernie makes a big mess.

    You both are sometimes concrete and sometimes abstract thinkers. Bert is probably a bit more concrete in his bottlecap collecting addiction and his love of the weather. He does show his abstract side when he sings and performs his "Doin' The Pidgeon" song. You have a good balance in your life. You know when to be logical at times, but you also aren't afraid to explore your dreams and desires... within limits of course.

    You are both somewhat introverted. Bert is probably more introverted, because he spends most of his time either with Ernie or alone. Still he has no problem being around other people in his role as chairman of "The National Association of 'W' Lovers." Like Bert, you probably like to have some time to yourself, but you do appreciate spending time with your friends, and you aren't scared of social situations.

    The other possible characters are
    Oscar the Grouch
    Big Bird
    Snuffleupagus
    Ernie
    Elmo
    Kermit the Frog
    Grover
    Cookie Monster
    Guy Smiley
    The Count

    If you enjoyed this test, I would love the feedback! Also if you want to tell me your favorite Sesame Street character, I can total them up and post them here. Perhaps your choice will win!
