When Soaps Meet Geek?

Was doing my late night soap tweet thang last night (don't act like you don't LIKE IT) when a new ad popped up for John McBain, Llanview's resident hard boiled detective. Llanview is the fake town in One Life To Live, btw. In case you were wondering. which you probably weren't.

Anyway, the ad has a very Sin City vibe to it, and even though it's totally ridiculous (okay, pretty damn ridiculous), it's also kind of neat and, in my mind, worth posting. When soaps start imitating comic book noir, I'm totally on board.

In researching the internets to find this clip, I also discovered that Michael Easton, the dude who plays John McBain (and also played vampire-in-love-with-a-human Caleb on Port Charles like SEVEN years ago, Twilight) is a fantasy novel AND graphic novel writer. Baaazuhhh???

Check it out - his Fantasy Novel series, Soul Stealer and his upcoming Graphic Novel, The Green Woman.

How totally random. See full post

Map of the Star Wars Galaxy! [For mah wallz pleaz?]

This is too cool not to share.



It's a map of the Star Wars Galaxy! So many planets!! I love how Endor, Hoth & Dagobah are all epically far away from Coruscant & Alderaan. That's what my head thought it would be! Tatooine is also in wild space. So like, the planets with specific themes (forest, snow, swamp, desert) are all wild spacey and the planets that seem to have all types of conditions, must like Earth, are closer to the center of the galaxy. Mon Calamari may be the farthest away. As it should be. Fish people.

Head on over to Wookiepedia to learn about all the different planets. Already, I know that Varonat (near Hoth & Endor) is a steaming jungle planet and Nkllon is volcanic (as if you couldn't tell by looking it - so red!) and home to the Lava Worm. Ooh, Rishi the tropical planet! And Ryloth is rocky. I COULD DO THIS ALL DAY. And maybe I will. Let me know if you find what is in your opinion, the coolest planet on this map. I LOVE STAR WARS.
