Love to continue updating, but I need to practice now.

I was perusing the job section of Ithaca's craigslist page and found an ad recruiting staff for an Urban Outfitters that's to open in Ithaca this summer. As I understand, the only UOs in New York State are either buried in the city or in the Galleria Mall in Buffalo. I had never been to one before last month at the Mall of America in Minnesota - I liked it very much. I even took a picture.


I did some searching to confirm the craigslist ad and found an article from the Cornell Daily Sun.

So it's true. But two things in that article caught my eye:
Allie Strauss ’11 agreed. “I think nothing better has ever happened in Ithaca,” she said.and
“The reason I liked Yale so much is because there was an Urban Outfitters right in town,” Brooke Flohr ’12 said. “Now I have no regrets left about coming to Cornell.”Either Cornell students are becoming exponentially more insane, or the CDS staff doesn't care if their articles are stuffed with just-say-anything filler quotes. Anyway, I bought a shot glass ice cube mold and a square of grass. The clothes are expensive there.

By now you've probably seen or heard this:


But here's what I'll bet you didn't know. I wanted to find out who the Welsh prima donna was hissy fitting at, so I looked up the DP for Terminator Salvation. His name is Shane Hurlburt and he grew up in Ithaca, New York--though he didn't go to IC or Cornell. Fascinating.

Also found at neatorama, a funny star wars video:


Star Wars: Retold (by someone who hasn't seen it) from Joe Nicolosi on Vimeo.

I bet it's the Joe Nicolosi who went to IC. I saw some of his animations at screenings and it seems like his style. Cool. Bonus point for the Wilhelm Scream when Lando gets speared.
