NYC waterfall by olafur eliasson

Pretty neat writeup about a waterfall that Olafur Eliasson created.

blindness

Been awhile since i posted. I was cruising the theatre recently and saw the poster for the movie adaptation of Blindness by Jose Saramago (see: one of the greatest writers of our time).

I've been a big fan of Saramago for a long time now. The movie has notable actors such as Gael Garcia Bernal, Mark Ruffalo, Julianne Moore, and Mark Ruffalo. The director is Fernando Meirelles whose body of work speaks for itself. Despite initial critical responses, I am eagerly waiting to see this movie.

Playing Hurt

Despite my begrudged respect for the defensive prowess and overall championship-worthiness of this year's Boston Celtics, I've been reading about how torn up Tiger's knee was during the U.S. Open, and I had Photoshop running already, so I decided that the above photomontage was not going to make itself.

I do think Pierce deserved his Finals MVP, though; not only for the way he continually attacked the Lakers on defense and hit big momentum-shifting shots on offense, but for the way he carried his team through two crucial Game Sevens earlier in the playoffs. Plus, he's an L.A. guy at heart, even though he plays for the bad guys now.

Just, please — fewer theatrics next time.

The Hydra offers its condolences to the family of the man killed. Given the photo, it's a small miracle that he was the only one. As you might guess, the driver of the car was drunk.
