No need to panic, it's only a new film from the best animator we have: Hayao Miyazaki. It is called Ponyo on the Cliff or some such. If you haven't seen all of his other movies, you are simply wasting your time. No I am not kidding. I don't care if you are 5 or 50. Go see all of these movies immediately. Then get ready for this new movie.
Here are some great sci-fi covers courtesy of John K. I never read these books, but I often admire the wacky covers. Now I can enjoy several of them at once!

My wife crocheted a matryoshka this morning while I was sleeping. What would she do without me?
Make sure you wade into the waters of Questionaut, the latest from Amanita Design. They are very consistently terrific.
This guy has a show coming up somewhere but I left the newspaper on the T and I can't find any mention of it online. I'll let you know where it is later. SKUNK!

In history books you will find very little about his dealings with the Shuisky sisters, or Alnus Rugosa, or Das Brick, because I made them up.
Ali Qushji and Perkin Warbeck and Jami the Persian Poet were real people, who sadly never really had anything to do with Russia or Afanasy Nikitin. The Kreml, while a real place, was probably not as fun as it appears herein.
So abandon all pretence of learning about historical Russia, ye who enter here.
