Starstruck
By Michael Vance
Every artform has strengths and weaknesses. Radio fails with color. Novels cannot sing and dance, and movies stutter over richly complex issues. Any artist’s success depends on understanding these limitations and using a medium’s strengths to their best effect. Limited to 335 words in reviewing comics, I cannot begin to list the multitude of flaws in a new, science-fiction comic, “Starstruck”.
I can’t summarize its plot. Its own synopsis for the third issue alone is over 500 words long. The writer must have thought that throwing every good idea into the pot must make delicious stew. What she created was an unintelligible, confused mess of misdirected cleverness, sorry puns, stereotyped characters (and too many of those), and enormous, transparent clichés.
Especially irritating is the ability of all of her characters to say the wrong thing at the wrong time. Their responses to situations are simply inappropriate, like someone telling a sexual joke at a graveside service for their mother. Their emotions don’t match their circumstances, either.
Even inanimate objects ‘ham-it-up’ as everything in the comic seems to shout: look at how clever I am! A message sent between two women is called a “Mammygram to Mama San”. A sect is named the “Cloistered Order of the Goddess Uncaring”. The list of such abuses is too long to repeat.
Michael Kaluta's beautiful art is the only thing holding this lump of space grue together. I can’t imagine how he followed the script, and stand in awe that he almost, but not quite, made visual sense out of this gobbledygook of words.
The only thing that befuddles me more is why he ever drew “Starstruck”. His time would have been better spent doodling on bar napkins.

With stuttering, viewers-turned-participants use their entire bodies to touch and trigger activation points laid out in a Mondrian-styled grid. Move quickly, and the piece will itself stutter in a barrage of audiovisual verbiage; move carefully, even cautiously – stutter with your body – and both meaning and bodies emerge.

Day 284
This actually took longer than I thought ^_^. My laptop pretty much crashed unable to handle the RAM and my iTunes stuttered a few times haha.
Meet James! He's a Christmas temp where I work and he's been a blast to work with these past couple of weeks. He has great taste in music and an awesome sense of humour to my eccentric ramblings :) And rarely do people get my eccentricity!.
So the upcoming Monday will be his last shift EVER...with us anyway. We are also having a Christmas party tomorrow which he can't come to so I said that we'd include him into the festivities (Via the magical world of photoshop). So for about 3 minutes I gave him direction and he made the faces that would be popping up tomorrow night :P
James 1: Top Left. "I'm Hungry!"
James 2: Top Middle . "Boy am I full!"
James 3: Top Right . "Oh WOW I'm so excited!"
James 4: Bottom Left *laughs* That was a great joke man...total CRED!"
James 5: Bottom Middle . "That was a really inappropriate joke and I am going to frown at you".
James 6: Bottom Right " I had a great night! Thanks! My life has changed forever!"
So yeah! Busy day anyway today and I got my first Christmas card this year! Whoop!, and tomorrow night is the Christmas party....OHMYGAWD what am I going to wear?!?!?!

Gagueira não tem graça, tem tratamento. Entenda por quê: bit.ly/nao-tem-graca
"Embora a gagueira possa afetar seriamente a vida de uma pessoa, a atenção e o interesse que a sociedade tem dedicado a ela são muito pequenos quando comparamos com o que tem sido feito pelo TDAH, pela dislexia e pelo autismo."

It took me a while to put two and two together here, but it seems that ever since there was an update for Bioshock the game has been running pretty terrible for me. Moving around in the game is now a bit skittish, as the framerate stutters ever 5 - 10 steps or so. At first it was a minor nuisance, but it eventually got to the point where it began ruining the experience for me.
I don't know what the update was supposed to do, but I can tell you it took a game that was running perfect on my 360 and turned it into crap. Hopefully there will be a update for this update.
Good going on that one guys...
dear fearful pickpockets, i can hear you playing yr. fuzzy radios underneath yr. blankets at night; dear weary barricades, tired of grabbing on to anything you can get yr. hands on, i know how it feels to be wearing (such) awkward uniforms. so please (pretty please) gather yr. shards and beloved rags of hearts and mend them into the most sincere parade.
so take care, ye careful stranger, ye faithful daydreamer or drunk; these justified days are terrible as well.

An endangered frog in NSW, Australia. Found in rainforest and wet, tall open forest in the foothills and escarpment on the eastern side of the Great Dividing Range.Outside the breeding season adults live in deep leaf litter and thick understorey vegetation on the forest floor.
* Feed on insects and smaller frogs.
* Breed in streams during summer after heavy rain.
* Eggs are laid on rock shelves or shallow riffles in small, flowing streams.
* As the tadpoles grow they move to deep permanent pools and take approximately 12 months to metamorphose.
My street from my window. (2007/08/17)
The motion of the camera reveals a flickering in the streaks from car and street lamps. It is too quick for the naked eye.
Taken with Nikon D90, using the Nikkor 50mm f/1.8 lens, 1/100 sec at f/9.0, iso 400, one SB900 remotely triggered to the left of subject.
For at interval, Stern removed all dialogue from Woody Allen’s Annie Hall, leaving only 13 minutes of stutters, gasps, and oral fumbles.

When contemplating 'Stutter', i asked the only person i know who knows about this, my sister, a speech pathologist.
From her description of the struggles that face people with a stutter, i tried to capture a picture that would symbolise the frustration that comes with knowing exactly what you want to be able to say, and not being able too.
This shot is a single exposure, and contains both the jagged movement of the camera and the act of the mouth screaming to be heard.

Stuttered shots from typewriter keys
pt. 2 from yesterdays photo. I don't ever want to shoot any other camera now.
This would be amazing on black...
Anthony Jeselnik - I'd never hit a woman, even if she had a knife...or a stutter.
