Geekery, ho!

It's always a good morning when the headlines include the phrase Galactic Spaceport, isn't it?

Also, we spent some time at EHQ last night watching the old Aeon Flux cartoons. I now understand why I continually have dreams about reaching into my skin and pulling out gadgets, or putting them in. Too much time watching Aeon Flux in college, apparently, since in virtually every short there is some moment at which one of the characters does this. Which is good. For a moment there, I thought it was just the way I was. Much easier to blame the media, no? Watching the cartoons again also mitigated some of my major criticisms of the film (which triadruid and I saw and were mildly disappointed in on Sunday). Not only is Martin Csokas not creepy enough to be Trevor Goodchild, but also no person alive on this earth could be creepy enough to be Trevor Goodchild, so I think that's okay. Clearly, the filmmakers were up against impossible odds.

What doesn't kill us makes us stranger...

Speaking of stranger...

Also, an amazing discovery was made.

The gimpy EHQ television set, which has been disconnected from the outside world for like a year now, seems to pick up the BBC America channel. This is pretty unlikely to begin with, as we have no antenna, even, to grab broadcast channels. But it becomes even more unlikely when you consider that BBC America is a cable channel. Furthermore, we didn't even get BBC America when we had cable!

My hypothesis is that the Hob is somehow responsible for this, and perhaps enjoys the Beeb when we are not at home. It seems as likely as anything.
