new to know: 01.29.2009

This will be my first entry of hopefully a series of entries. It'll just be a list of things I've discovered recently, regardless of how mainstream or unknown it is to the general public. It's new to me, and that's that.

new to know: 01.29.2009

lie to me: a tv show on fox starring Tim Roth; it's basically about a team of people who are adept at lie detection.
current opinion: not a bad show, lots of old footage to possibly vilify historical/known liars in the past, something I plan to watch casually

morissey - "glamorous glue": found the song after doing a wiki on lie to me
current opinion: I like Morissey to an extent, and it's a fairly good song (video)

ryan star - "brand new day": the theme/intro song to lie to me
current opinion: pretty good song; not the most original thing I've heard in my life, but it does a good job at being catchy (video) (lyrics)

persepolis: animated movie about a young girl who grows up in Iran during tumultuous times
current opinion: excellent movie, review to follow

design public: introduced to me by the ohsogeeky, site with lots of furniture and everything for purchase
current opinion: the stuff on here is really cool and to my taste when it comes to home decor, expect a look that looks modern but not sterile, recommended.

burnt kettle corn: 2 attempts to recreate sweet caramel-like pop corn gone bad
current opinion: after two semi-failures, I've concluded this much--keep the stove at medium, lift & shake every 3 seconds, mix margarine + vegetable oil (not only margarine); conclusion #4: dogs like popcorn, even if mildly burnt (recipe)
