An ultra update from my dear friend Jónas Valtýsson. Take a look at his online monster.

Star Wars episode V, Empire Strikes Back celebrates it’s 30th anniversary with a lavish
publication of the heavy weight book The Making of Star Wars:The Empire Strikes Back
chronicles the complete tale—from pre-release to blockbuster success.

Here you see photos on set and the extravagant special effects in the 1980’s.

Rosa fínn þessi fugl.

I’m more fond of the cat creature than it’s rival, the dog. I admit I wouldn’t
hate to own a huge badass dog to guard my apartment and eat the fingers of
some street hoodlums for breakfast, or for the times that some unwelcome
wankers crash my party and refuse to listen to words of reason. At that point
I could introduce them to my dog which would immediately chew on their faces
or feast on their danglers, or both. This would be, without a doubt, a nifty party
trick which I could post on youtube. Sounds like a win/win situation for every-
one. But sadly for the youtubers and me I think this will never become. There
are too many psycho dogs out there which makes my unable to trust these
creatures. Gnawing their owner’s face off during nights without warning, or
going for the groin, both sounding pretty bad. This is simply something I don’t
want to waste my time participating in. I have enough on my plate without
adding the risk of waking up by my own rabid dog remaking the motion picture
Face Off. My parents own a cat which has a fluffy tail and has a thing for night
prowling and power napping. I miss him and in my quest after my own cat I’ve
found the perfect one. The 30 lbs. Savannah cat. I’m getting me one of those
for sure sooner or later.

Quite a charmer.

Picture that my cat took of us powernapping.

The Savannah. A breed based on the Serval / domestic cat cross.
