In my film class I wrote a 15 page analysis of the Night Of The Living Dead 1990 remake that Tony Todd was in. My film teacher has a FIRM rule that nothing modern (after 1960) could ever be discussed in his class, especially not remakes.

But on top of knowing everything there was to know about both versions, I knew someone who worked on it and someone who knew Tony personally. I had enough background to speak analytically about why the remake was perfect and improved on the story.

The actor #TonyTodd has died. He was best known as the star of the #Candyman horror movies. Todd died Wednesday at his home in Los Angeles, his manager Jeffrey Goldberg confirmed. He was 69. The cause of death has not been shared.

Well that took 4 hours ... and my whole body is really angry but everybody is rehomed safely and @IronButterfly saved like a gazillion baby snails and put them in the 100 gallon ❤️ She's a snail superhero.

Time for aquarium duty. Setting up a new, larger tank for the kitchen. @IronButterfly will be rehoming a lot of snails. I love keeping them but I do still think they are gross. She doesn't mind though.

BIG’s HQ is designed to be pretty energy-efficient, given its size and type. The roof is marked with solar panels to cut down on grid-based power use. A combination of a geothermal energy system and natural ventilation delivers 84% of heating requirements, and 100% of its cooling.

The building is made from Uni-Green concrete, which was developed in collaboration with Unicon. A section of the cement clinker was replaced with calcined clay and lime filler, leading to a carbon dioxide reduction of around 25% in comparison to a traditional concrete mix.

The interior adopts a lot of concrete, and some wood too and is designed to be free-flowing, with an ample amount of floor space.

The Bjarke Ingels Group (BIG) is known for creating extraordinary and unique buildings, they recently designed their own headquarters, and we’re really quite curious to know more about it. The HQ is called Piranesian and is in Copenhagen, Denmark.

Considering how elaborate and wild some of BIG's architectural creations are, I was surprised to see something so modest - for lack of a better word - for their official headquarters. It is NICE though and has BIG "feel" to it.

The new #PrincessMononoke theme design is the latest in Saitama Prefecture-based toymaker Ensky’s Paper Theater series of compact papercraft kits.

By layering cutouts on top of each other within the frame, a sense of depth is created to incredible effect.

The new kit is priced at 2,970 yen (US$19.80) and stands 6.3 inches tall when assembled.

Many more Ghibli themed kits are available as well. The whole lineup can be ordered through the Donguri Kyowakoku online store.

93/88 is great going into the weekend. Optimal sleep with 23% restorative sleep is absolutely excellent. Gonna be an epic day. 👍🏾

I have been paying closer attention to my chronotype schedule and I do find that when it lines up, there is a significant difference in my #chronicpain. I have been correlating data manually on this for about 2 months. I don't make anything definitive until I have 6 months of data but it's looking like a real correlation.
