The Spanish have signed a third actor to join the cast of Vida en Marte, the remake of Life on Mars. Actress Manuela Velasco, niece of Concha Velasco, will join Ernesto Alterio and Antonio Garrido (Spanish Sam and Gene respectively) and play the Spanish version of Annie Cartwright. The new series...
ABC has made a ‘Starter Kit’ to introduce people to Life on Mars, beginning this Thursday. The clip below shows many scenes familiar to fans of the original, and compared with the Kelley effort, it looks very good. Gene Hunt’s most (in)famous line gets changed by one word, but Appelbaum and...
Here it is...better late than never! I took these yesterday, but I'm finally getting around to post them. My dear Craftster.org friend Jane of Glorious Hats made this fascinator and sent it to me! What a gal! She also sent me a darling Kumihimo Braiding Kit. It's primo. I'm having such fun with it!...
Someone has seen American Life on Mars already: Kelly West at Cinema Blend, who gives it 3½ stars. A lot more photographs on the page as well. Ms West makes no comparisons with the UK original and gives away nothing we don’t know already, but for American viewers, she does evaluate how suitable...
Show us the picture on your calendar for October. My calendar is David Brinton's Les Héros du Vélo calendar, a collection of caricatures of famous cyclists from history. This month, it's Julio Jiménez, who won the polka-dot jersey (best climber) in the Tour de France from 1965-1967. I dig this...
I put this idea together a while ago but I only just got around to actually making a set of coasters. My version of what happens down a more retro kind of rabbit hole. I decided that they all had to have Alice, another wonderland character, a drink, a small animal, a large animal leaving, a quote...
I've posted of my interest in slide rules before (I blame Asimov, and an outdated-even-in-the-eighties book found in my high school library). Occasionally useful, I share this article's amazement that we were able to get things to the moon and back with a few pieces of wood.

At a festival, I kept seeing toy balloons float away. I always cringe--if we're not careful, it might trigger a nuclear war!
I set my alarm for 4 am yesternight, turning the volume out loud so I could wake up to NEWS singing TEPPEN. So, the following morning (today) I woke up, distressed by the sudden MAI AGARE, SORA TAKAKU~ @.@ It was crazy. The alarm was loud, so my Mom woke up, too. It was 4 am, too early to do...
Yes, my darlings. Ay- bukas na nga pala yung RETRO COSPLAY DAY natin. WAHAHAHA. Sana hindi ako magmukhang ewan lol. Nako- ito nanaman... nasan na ang aking mga 3 munting prinsesa?! Flora?! Marie?! Trinnie?! OMG. BUHAY BA KAYO?! NAGAGALIT NA TALAGA LOLA NIYO. XP jx.. di naman lol. Anyway, sa Friday...
So stressed. Again. Tomorrow is retro cosplay day~ YAY~ I hope I don't look like a freak. lol.
Spoiler TV has some more publicity shots from the US Life on Mars, and here we can see some of the effort that has gone in to making the American version reasonably faithful to the British one. I have only chosen five for commentary; Spoiler TV has far more. Haven’t seen Denise Huxtable for a...
It’s the new US Life on Mars commercial! (FDA warning: contains 90 per cent new ingredients.) There’s new footage of Sam being hit by a car, this time in New York, and the look certainly is closer to the original, albeit Americanized. I am actually more encouraged by this than the first trailer...
a little retro scene. sexy music (music for lovers only lp) and spanish lessons.
September 26 Yosh~ My friend and I are either going to cosplay: *Bagets style *a movie that was a BIG hit in the 80's* *50's style *with the full a-line skirts and all* Personally, I'd like to cosplay the 50's.. all girly and "OMFG I LOVE ELVIS" but... I'd love to cosplay high-cut red and blue...
Marshall Lancaster’s best line in last night’s Ashes to Ashes on Prime was cut. I can understand the need to cut for advertisements in New Zealand and we will always argue on what is appropriate and what is not, though if you are my age or older you may wonder why the last line was missing. I...
Gang Garrison II is amusing. There's actually a server that people are playing on right now, but there is no Vent server up. :( Snipers are fucking overpowered on it. There's always a fucking Sniper War on the game because you can jump and shoot.
Still looking for a dress to wear to a fancy wedding. I had this in mind, but I'm going to take it back and get a cocktail dress. Yes, I know I should just design one, but I'm not really in the mood for sewing right now. Sorry about the angle. I have to hang my camera on the coat rack in order to...
What do you think...fancy enough for a ritzy-glitzy wedding? My husband has a co-worker who's getting married this month. It's an evening wedding. I'll post another dress tomorrow and you can help me decide between the two. (My hubby votes for this one.) This shot reminds me of a 1960's year book...
