This gorgeous animated sci-fi story explores the theme of the transformative power of love between two women. As our story begins it is the 28th century, 200 years after the Great Earth Exodus. We re on Ganymede, one of Jupiter’s moons. Our hero Naia is a feisty, young singer-songwriter who falls in love with the beautiful saxophonist Parker. The two embark on their new relationship and also form a band and now they have to not only make it as musicians but also to fight for their freedom. Dramatically rendered in rich, hand drawn animation, Strange Frame brings us into a world of space pirates, indentured slaves and genetic mutations infused with music throughout, to create a dreamlike tale unlike anything you’ve ever seen.

It doesn’t get any better than this. Nope.


Movies are shot out of sequence for a number of reasons. Among these reasons are; renting out locations or studio space, lighting, weather conditions, and most importantly, the availability of an actor. All of these basically boil down to time and money. 

So with budget and time constraints almost always working against shooting a film in chronological order, what would drive a filmmaker to pursue such a course?

(via Here Are Internet Comment Shitstorms Reenacted by Sock Puppets)

This new web series (?) from a group of talented veteran voice actors — one of them being April Winchell, founder of Regretsy — takes internet comments and transforms them into Sockpuppet Theater. Even better, the sock puppets are all Masterpiece Theater-ed out, so it’s just extra adorable and absurd. It’s a real treat, who knew the best way to absorb online mayhem was via adorable sock puppets? I have a special fondness for Irresponsible Sluts because it’s perfect, but Eat Something is vying for the crown of Current Favorite of All Time. I’m just hoping that one day soon, they’ll get their dialogue from people commenting on their videos and the whole damn internet will explode! Let us pray.

Help saneTV with research!

I am researching a blog post post that I want to make for the winter holidays about making care packages for our peers who are poor and/or homeless. Right now in my area (metro NYC) there are more people in this situation than ever, due to the poor economy and people displaced by hurricane Sandy — people my local friends know and love, but haven’t a clue how to help without embarrassing them or wasting efforts and resources.

This portion of the research is simple, and I only need answers concerning this question at this time.

What day-to-day non-food products, especially consumables (things that need to be replenished or replaced very often) does an adult (not children or infants) need?

Some examples would be toothpaste, sanitary napkins, aluminum foil, OTC pain remedies, toilet paper, shampoo, vitamins, paper towels, first aid items, cleaning sprays like 409, and so on.

Don’t think about whether a product is essential or a “luxury” as a) we all have different standards of comfort, and b) this is geared toward a holiday care package, so something that is geared toward feeling good is fine.

There are so many things people need, and you don’t think of them until they are ruined by flood water, stolen, or used up and there is no money to replace them. I can’t think of them all by myself — it is overwhelming — but I do know that many of these items not only are necessary to a healthy existence, they are desperately needed to help maintain dignity. We all feel better when we are clean, our hair is neat, our living space is clean, we’ve taken our vitamins, we smell like ourselves and our clothes are presentable. Dignity is a vital fuel for maintaining the strength to carry on.

Please give this some thought, and please don’t judge each other’s replies. And thank you all so much!
