An Interesting Short Story...

I've always wanted to read ALL of Philip K. Dick's short stories after finding out about 'Minority Report' and 'Total Recall' (of which I then watched "Total Recall 2070"--a Canadian 1-season series that was based upon the short stories of which 'Total Recall' and 'Blade Runner' were based off of).

ANYwho... I remember chancing upon a TV movie that seemed a bit old once and never knowing the name of it but was intrigued by it nonetheless. I now sadly find out they are making a re-make, slated to be released 2011.

It is called 'They Live' and is based upon a short story called 'Eight O'Clock in the Morning'* by Ray Nelson (he went on to collaborate with Philip Dick on a novel called The Ganymede Takeover, of which I am interested to read!). Always it leads to other stories I want to read... I still have yet to brush up on my Philip K. Dick short story anthology and watch all those movies based upon his work (which I'll blog about in my movie blog). EXCITED.

But for now, it'll have to be a slow run.

Spring Semester starts next week and I've got my finals week this week (had it today actually... most likely bombed it, but I've got papers and a presentation in the next few days--all by Fri).

Until then, CHEERS!

Wish me luck! \m/ (rock on, according to gtalk)

[p.s. oh yeah, been obsessing over Edward Maya's 'Stereo Love'--the version that's on the radio that is... and I've FINALLY found it!!!]

[p.p.s. and I've gotten my ticket for Burning Man WOOOHOOOO )'( 2011 heeeere weeeee cooooommme!! 1st tier, baby!! but that's not to mention the HORRIBLE affair they've put anybody past 500 through for the last few hours... they got bumped to 3rd tier
