So basically I'm dying of a sinus infection that's settled into my chest over here, which adds an extra layer of grossness to the proceedings in my head. My head, which is full of blarg.

@cleolinda: Recap gifs! Bless. RT @yesiac: came across this on Tumblr...it sounded familiar. and then I saw the caption. http://vorobey008.tumblr.com/post/ ( Read more... )

At the risk of making y'all wonder why this is such a big deal, I have collected a number of links about the West Memphis Three. In case you missed it (and you easily could have, because it came out of nowhere), on Thursday night, this appeared on Twitter:

@wm3org: West Memphis Three leave prison with all belongings; source says they are not ( Read more... )

THREE DAYS IN A ROW! Amazing. So. Let us have some linkspam.

The real explanation for that long delay in George R.R. Martin's next book?

I wanted to lead with this link because ( Read more... )

In fact, I saw it twice. And I tried to hold off on a discussion entry as long as I could. Because--here's the thing. There really isn't a ~MIND-BLOWING TWIST~ that shows up halfway through or anything. There's no one thing I can really tell you, like with The Sixth Sense or The Matrix, that would just spoil the entire concept of the movie. Which ( Read more... )

Okay, so. I saw Eclipse again, because my mother wanted to see it (as she always does), and because this time I could take notes on the scene order (We Do Not Speak Of It). And I feel like I'm a little different from a lot of people in that I can compartmentalize a lot of things. A lot of people--in this case, Twilight fans--will start out liking, ( Read more... )

...my blogger gave to me: two feline chagrins and an article written by the AP. With my "team" preference, as promised.

Team Edward vs. Team Jacob: Which side are you on?Christy did tell me that the article was edited for space--although she did insist on keeping my team preference in, because I told her y'all were looking forward to that--so my ( Read more... )

As a follow-up to yesterday:

I was walking around outside, letting my thoughts ramble (as you do), and suddenly a number of things I'd heard coalesced into a coherent whole. These conclusions are from various articles I've read over the years--or from what people I know have said, or from interviews various people have given (including the inevitable celebrity refrain of "I'm ( Read more... )

Okay. I'm kind of sick today (chills, aches, low fever, sinus snarf), so maybe I'm a little loopy, I don't know, but I finally convinced myself to expend the energy to heat some soup, and while I was pacing around waiting for it to get hot, I started thinking about basic plot conflicts. In essence, everything starts with desire: a character wants ( Read more... )

So... The Werewolf Book is... not turning out well. I'm gonna read the whole thing because I paid for it, dammit, but it's not my top reading priority anymore. ( Jack the Ripper is! )
