Fighter's High returns! -

Fighter’s High is a martial arts action adventure web series produced in Philadelphia starting in 2009.  We’re about to start production on a brand new season next month, and could use your support!  Want to check out the previous episodes?  Visit FightersHigh.com!

As for my involvement, it’s been my favorite web series for a while now.  I’m actually an extra in the fourth episode—you can see me getting my ass kicked (by my little brother, no less).  For the reboot, I’m serving as 1st assistant director.  I’m looking forward to getting involved in production, and even more excited to see new episodes!

I would pay to see this made as a movie.

Time Lord Man with two hearts survives double-sized attack

At first there didn’t seem to be anything unusual about the man who,  in 2010, reported to a Verona, Italy emergency room. He was short of  breath, sweating, and had low blood pressure – cardiovascular trouble,  no doubt. E.R. doctors see similar symptoms all the time.
But this man was very different indeed. He had two hearts.
“We haven’t ever seen anything similar to this case before,” Dr. Giacomo Mugnai said in an email.
It  turned out that a few years earlier, the man had undergone a procedure  known as a heterotopic heart transplant. Unlike an orthotopic  transplant, in which one organ is removed and another put in its place, a  heterotopic transplant pairs a new organ with a diseased one.
“We see this in cardiac patients or kidney patients, sometimes,”  explained Dr. Rade Vukmir, professor of emergency medicine at Temple  University and a spokesman for the American College of Emergency  Physicians. “Surgeons might leave a kidney in place if it’s too much  trouble to take out, or if there is hope for recovery of a kidney, or a  heart, after a period of time” of being helped by the new organ.
In the case of the ailing Italian, reported in the Annals of Emergency Medicine,  the transplant team had mated his new heart with his malfunctioning old  one. Chambers and blood vessels of the two hearts were married so that  the new heart could support the old one….

I remember taping this when it first aired.  Sadly, the VHS copy has since been lost.  But I get the feeling when I watch this again, I won’t be quite as sad.

Megan Mullally has leaked the first plot details for the Party Down movie, confirming that someone, somewhere, is working towards a Party Down movie. There are maybe investors. This is all the confirmation we need to start working on our outfits for the midnight showing.

Between this and movement on the Arrested Development and 24 movies, it’s a great time for getting our hopes up.

A personal pledge re: SOPA -

I’ve said a few things here about the Stop Online Piracy Act (SOPA), which is due for a House vote once Congress gets back from the break.  You’ve all likely heard here or elsewhere about how terrible a bill it (and its Senate counterpart, the PROTECT-IP Act, or PIPA) is and how it would, with little doubt, destroy the Internet as we know it.

Marvel Comics and Time Warner (parent of DC Comics) have come out in support of SOPA.  As much as I love comics, and enjoy many books from the Big Two, I have to take a stand here.  People I know have spoken of boycotting the Big Two for far less (such as a story they didn’t like), or worthier causes (sexist and/or discriminatory material).  I’ve always disagreed and said a line-wide boycott isn’t necessary, that simply not buying the offending books and putting your money towards more deserving work makes a clearer point.

But now the problem is bigger than any one book.

That’s why I will no longer purchase any comics from Marvel or DC (or any media from Time Warner) until they publicly renounce their support for SOPA.  I urge all of you to do the same, and to make your voices heard through calls, letters, petitions or whatever means is available to you.  Let them know that you will not sit idly by while they support a bill that would effectively allow government and big business to censor the Internet at will.

I urge you to stand for this.

record(s) of emotional turmoil

What is the soundtrack of your distress?

I’m aware that question is a bit of a cliché, but you’d be surprised how seldom I get an answer from anyone.  I’ve asked this question before on my show, and no one contributes to the discussion (perhaps because it is such a cliché, or because people don’t want to open wounds).

But I want to know.  I ask this question a lot, in large part because I want to find new music I can turn to in times of heartbreak, loss and fury.  And I don’t mean single songs—no, I’m talking whole albums that appeal to my darker side, that ferry me across the emotional expanse.

So, because I’m tired of talking to myself on this subject, I’m going to put it out there one more time—and I’ll even share my own.

Here’s a tip for the do-it-yourself crowd: Go to your computer’s Start menu, and either go to “run” or just search for “cmd.” Open it up, and type in “ping [website address],” like so:

Once you have the IP for a website, all you really need to do is enter it like you would a normal URL and hit enter/press go. Typing in “208.85.240.231” should bring you to the front page of AO3, for example, just as typing “174.121.194.34/dashboard” should bring you straight to your Tumblr dashboard. Since we’re obviously bracing for the worst case scenario which would involve you not being able to access Tumblr regularly, you should, like, save this list, I guess.
