This one popped up on my livejournal homepage, about 7am before work, and I quite honestly skimmed it to read "harvest green children disgusting and yet are forced to eat against your will."

it honestly took me a few tries to clear out the sleepy cobwebs and realise that LJ's writer's block wasn't really promoting cannibalism. I mean, I know they're ( Read more... )

Ok, I just finished going through my bookshelves. I'm going to be getting rid of some that I either have duplicates of or that I grew out of or that were randomly given to me. I'll donate them to my local library's booksale, but first I wanted to see if any of you are interested in them. I've got no problem shipping them out if you're interested. ( Read more... )

First off, Tim Burton signs to do 3-D Alice in wonderland, and even better? American McGee's Alice, July 2008.

I don't think that I have ever been so tempted to dress up for a movie release before.

Because there's nothing quite like fifties musicals to bring out an unquenchable desire for saddle shoes...
