So...Uh...

Guess who hasn’t watched any spec fic TV this week. Yeah, that will be me.

What have I been watching?

Recorded science panels from Balticon.

Midsomer Murders, which I enjoy, but not as much as Death In Paradise.

Auto racing.

All fun, none of it what I would feature on the blog.

However, I did find out…in a today I learned…about John Carpenter’s first movie, which was co-written by Dan O’Bannon.

Dan O’Bannon was one of the writers of Alien. Apparently, Dark Star has some elements in it that were reused in my favorite horror movie.

So I definitely want to track that down and watch it at some point. I just have to get the Balticon stuff I want watched before it’s taken down. They give a time limit. (I can hold off on the Nebulas panels because they’ll be up until next spring).

Promising more soon, but I need to watch presentations on why only female mosquitoes bite and the like first ;).
