things made of pure awesome
Awesome #1: I'm a bit embarrassed how often I've watched obsessive24's new Doctor Who companion vid of companion awesomeness OMG!. It's somewhere in the double digits. You don't have to be a fan of DW to enjoy. Be sure to read the notes.
Awesome #2: Annie Cartwright! Annie/Sam. *GLEE*
Awesome #3: I've started to reread all of the L. Frank Baum Oz books, starting with The Wizard of Oz, which is my least favorite of the books, I admit, and I always forget how amazingly violent it is (hello, the Tin Woodman hacks at the wolves and beheads them! Tolkien had nothing on Baum. Also the Scarecrow twists the necks of all the crows and tosses their dead bodies aside. Goodness!). It's written in such a light, simple, declarative style that it undercuts the inherent gruesomeness of the whole thing, not to mention the emasculated male/withered old hag/young simple girl bizarreness. But still, Dorothy? Made of AWESOME.
Awesome #4: I have the 2 disc North and South BBC production waiting for me at home. Bring on the repressed British manly man costume drama! I'm all over it.
Awesome #5: Michael Franti.
