    Haunting Images of Oblivion: See the Film Before You Get Spoiled

    Don’t read that 2011 press blurb about Tom Cruise’s latest movie, Oblivion, if you haven’t seen the film. It gives away some of the best twists in a pretty satisfyingly twisty and stylish science fiction outing. It may show up as a link on GooglePlus; I wanted to see what had been written about the film back when the project got Tom Cruise to commit and was shocked to see that the premise and biggest surprise twist was awkwardly given away. What I found satisfactory about the film was that I was still trying to work out the “bedrock premise”…

    Rough Night: Charleyhorses And Such

    Last night was a rough one; I’ve been having some muscle pain lately (probably due to not having my work chair/office desk/keyboard/mouse set up at the right positions relative to each other). But then all of a sudden I got a massive charleyhorse in my left calf. Ow. Ow. Ow. I’d been restless (we saw Oblivion last night, the images were striking), and I was tossing and turning a little. When it hit, the pain was kind of a mental shock, after being mostly comfortable and drowsy and mostly asleep. I thrashed around and groaned and cried out, and David…

    Stressed Out? How You Handle It May Predict Future Health Issues

    Uh, my work life got a LOT more stressful recently, and it’s probably not healthy to scream at my computer with my phone mic muted. Also: not healthy to go days without leaving the house. Must. Do. Something. In the latest research showing just how important the handling of stress is, a new study shows that having a stress-prone personality could seriously up your risk for heart disease.The new research, conducted in a large Danish population, found that people who are "mentally vulnerable" — meaning they are more susceptible to stress — are at a significantly higher risk for both…
