When I read fic I do this thing, which I'm sure I've talked about before, where I have a spreadsheet and make notes for myself as I go. The header information, link, favorite quotes, what worked for me and what didn't, what was hot, what was funny, etc. That sort of thing ( Read more... )

There's been a trend lately in fan art to reimagine modern media as retro or minimalist book covers or movie posters.  Like these:

Once there was a path
and a girl with chestnut hair,

That's a hard one to remember;
yes it makes you clench your fist,
and then the veins stand out like highways
all along your wrist.
And yes it's come to this.

Has someone done a Snape-centric vid to Leonard Cohen's "Dress Rehearsal Rag"? (listen) (lyrics) I haven't seen many HP vids, and I ( Read more... )

20/20 did a show recently on the subject of happiness, including a segment on the Blue Zones project which ranks countries by their relative happiness. I don't know what criteria they use to judge such a thing, but apparently Denmark's the happiest country in the world, Singapore's the happiest country in Asia, and Italy's the unhappiest country ( Read more... )
