Please Help Us Out!

If you didn’t already know, I’m part of the Brutal Rice Productions group. Actually, Brutal Rice is me and Miss Jiwaku. And we’re shooting a film next weekend. Here’s the thing: We’re trying to make an outstanding Korean SF movie. There have been a couple of really good ones — The Host, Save the Green Planet — but… … we want to make Korea’s first really amazing SF film. And for that, we need your help. We need extras of both sexes — male and female — for Sunday, December 2, in Bucheon City. We need as many people as …

Xander and Anya, Willow and Tara, Giles and Jenny and that Woman Who’s Scared Off…

So Miss Jiwaku and I finished watching the full series of Buffy The Vampire Slayer — it was her first time all the way through, and my second — a few weeks ago. I tried to sum up the experience, but it was pretty difficult. Hundreds of hours of fairly iconic TV don’t really boil down so easily as all that. There’s a lot I could talk about, but I figure I can post a few different things as they come to me, or as they come to me.

Today, what I’m interested is “nonstandard” relationships, and how I see them explored in the show.

A Dicey Situation (Buying Gaming Dice in South Korea)

UPDATE (13 Nov. 2014): I’m guessing this is your cheapest option for polyhedral dice in South Korea now. There are also polyhedral sets that aren’t too expensive, if you poke around on Gmarket. UPDATE (27 Nov. 2012): Got the polyhedral dice. The place I ordered the six-sided dice from took a few extra days to get those dice shipped, but I’m still hoping to receive them in the next couple of weeks. I’d better, since we have some Fiasco games planned for the third week of December. ORIGINAL POST: I have a bunch of dice on order, at the moment. You might …

Collaborative Brewday: Soyoung’s Apple Pie Ale and Graf, and my Belgian Dubbel

gordsellar0 Comments

The other day, our friend Soyoung came up the hill to brew with me. She’s had the idea in mind to brew up an apple-pie-like beer for a while, so we talked it over, considered her options, and working out a kind of recipe. But I also have to get some brewing done in the next few weeks, so I did a little calculating and figured out that we could probably brew a double-batch, together, which could then be split not in half, but three ways. Well, kind of. The real split is down the middle: (basically) half the wort …

And Soon, We Shoot

You’ll have to forgive me for doing something today that I don’t often do: being (relatively) brief. I’m busy, is why. I am now grading essays from midterms — a few weeks late, I’ll admit — and then I’ll be storyboarding the film we start shooting our next short film project in Bucheon at the end of the month. The tentative plan is to get the thing shot in four long days of hard work, but if it takes an extra weekend, we’ll make it happen. To get that done, we need to be so damned organized you wouldn’t recognize …
