Screaming Penguin

So there seems to be some stink about the presales tickets for Atlanta's Nine Inch Nails/Jane's Addiction show last night. Honestly, I think people are full of shit.

Let me start by saying, I loathe J.J. Abrams. His Mission Impossible outing is the only thing I have ever seen of his that I thought was of at least tolerable quality. Everything else he has ever made sucks. While many people will try to tell me it doesn't, they are either philistines or deluded.

So, it took me a few days to get around to watching it, but I got to Caprica this weekend. If you don't know, Caprica is a prequel series, set 58 years before Battlestar Galactica. Ron Moore and David Eick promised something completely different. They both delivered, and failed magnificently on this promise.

So what the hell is Starbuck?

My original guess was she was the "Human girl in a cylon body from Caprica," but RDM just bailed on explaining that at all.

Lately I have been doing some guitar shopping. I have been thinking about getting back into it for a while now, after many years away, and was curious what real musicians might recommend as a good "beginner" guitar.

I have some preferences/prejudices from back in the day (I like Ovation, even though I know some people don't prefer them, I had one years ago and it was solid - I like the price point and idea of the Celebrity), and so have been doing some online research.
