“Postcards from Pripyat, Chernobyl”
•December 27, 2014 • Leave a CommentI love this video and most everything about the serene, yet disturbing, interesting and dangerous beauty of abandonment. While filming for CBS News on a ’60 Minutes’ episode (aired on Nov. 23, 2014), Danny Cooke, armed with a camera, a dosimeter geiger counter and with the help of his guide Yevgen, also known as a ‘Stalker’, explored Chernobyl and the nearby abandoned city of Pripyat — this is his haunting document of the aftermath:
The Chernobyl disaster was a catastrophic nuclear accident that occurred on 26 April 1986 at the Chernobyl Nuclear Power Plant in Ukraine, and was the worst nuclear power plant accident in history in terms of cost and casualties.
Nineteen years after the accident, the empty schools and kindergarten rooms in Pripyat – once the largest town in the Exclusion Zone with 50,000 inhabitants—remain a silent testament to the sudden and tragic departure. Due to decay, this section of the school building has since collapsed. Pripyat, Ukraine, 2005 (Gerd Ludwig/INSTITUTE)
Built in 1970 for the scientists and workers of the Chernobyl Nuclear Power Plant, the city of Pripyat, located less than 3 km from the reactor, was once inhabited by nearly 50,000 residents and brimming with life. Authorities did not immediately warn residents of the accident and ordered the evacuation a full 36 hours after the explosion. Pripyat, Ukraine, 1993 (Gerd Ludwig/INSTITUTE)

The Hobbit: The Battle of the Five Armies
•December 19, 2014 • Leave a CommentJust watched this with sis and my dad at IMAX 3D in HFR (high frame rate) and it was good; the film that is — I prefer the standard formats without any gimmicks, but the screening time suited. It’s a long film, and being the last and only franchise that will ever be undertaken on such a scale and quality…excuse me. Make sure to bring yourself a handkerchief too, just in case. Oh darn it, my eyes are swelling up again, I need something silly yet related to play me out:
This song was off his second album “Two Sides of Leonard Nimoy”, and a badly lip-synced version of it was televised in 1967, with five choreographically-disabled girls providing some brilliant dance moves.
Azealia Banks Defends Black Culture During an Emotional Interview with HOT 97
•December 19, 2014 • Leave a CommentI love Azealia’s personality and her music. She is a unique, passionate individual who takes ownership of her creativity, she’s fearless and I know her best days are ahead of her. This is a really great candid interview that gives Azealia some much deserved, dedicated time:
Azealia Banks has been very vocal on social media, but she has shied away from the media. The “212″ rapper had a lot to get off her chest when she finally sat down with Hot 97′s Ebro and Peter Rosenberg for an in-depth and emotional interview this week.
