Beautiful Stuff I Can't Afford, No. 2

Today, BSICA is presented by MCP Photoshop. I am a sucker for Photoshop actions (because I am a lazy, terrible Photoshop user and I know it) and these are nice. Like, I can make anybody look like a freaking supermodel nice. My favorite set is "Magic Skin" (in the "Retouching Actions" section). Check out those before and afters! Hot damn! Seriously- people will be disappointed when they finally meet you in person. Yeah, $42 isn't a WHOLE lot, but I'm not a professional photographer and never will be, I'm sure, so it's a lot for something that's just a silly hobby.

The Fall

The other night we were watching Zombie Strippers on BluRay. (Our inaugural HD Disc (the movie was bad (you knew that)))
Anyway... On it there was a preview for a movie called The Fall, which looks to be worth watching even if it doesn't turn out good.

This movie is already out on video. It's surprising I didn't know about it.

There She Goes...


Watch the horrors of puberty from 7 'til 16! (In a nifty animation.)

Beautiful Stuff I Can't Afford, No. 1

(But drool over obsessively anyway.)

Today's installation of BSICA is brought to you by Nervous System, an Etsy store. Etsy is home to numerous items of BSICA, but I can frequently stop daydreaming about it in a day or two. The Nervous System jewelry, however, I haven't been able to get out of my head. This is my kind of stuff- asymmetrical but with its own kind of pattern, and totally wearable without being something you'd see every day.

Dance Like a Monkey!

My Bologna has a First Name . . .

This post wins.

The Best of 1966 Batman/Bruce Wayne

For Richard:

The First Lady of Star Trek


Majel Barrett Roddenberry died last night, she was 76.

The picture is her playing Number One in the original Star Trek pilot. She was also Nurse Chapel in TOS and appeared as Lwaxana Troi in TNG and DS9 and she regularly played the voice of the Starfleet computers from the 60s until Voyager ended in 2001 and had been cast to do the computer's voice in the new movie. I don't know if she completed the work for the movie.

She also produced two science fiction TV shows based on notes left by her late husband and guest starred in them, too.

Two beautiful, vibrant women dead in two weeks. I sincerely hope that these sort of things don't really happen in threes.

What a Way To Go.

If you get me one of these for Christmas, I'll really know what you think of me.
