I keep starting posts and then not posting them, and I don't remember what any of them were supposed to be about, and just now I want to talk about knitting:

It's Sloan day, yayayayayay!!!! I have grand plans for a grand sort of Sloan post with videos and pictures and links, but I have met me and I know how likely that is to happen today (not very). But I did not want to let the day pass without at least mentioning that Sloan's new album, The Double Cross is released today! You can buy it in a ( Read more... )

At my job, we sometimes receive mail on behalf of our clients. Today's mail included a copy of the May/June issue of Biblical Archaeology Review, and normally I wouldn't even have blinked at it, but one of the taglines on the cover caught my attention.

Hmm. Have just read this long argument, and tangentially, does anyone know if the Canadian versions of the HP books are the same as the British ones, or did we get the Americanized ones? I could probably figure this out on my own, except for I'm not quite sure how. So if someone just wants to do the work for me, that'd be great ( Read more... )

Dear Sloan,

I love you madly. Despite this love, you caused me to holler, "NO!" at the radio in the car this morning when it revealed to me that the second single from Action Pact is 'Live On.' Why would you do this? You always do this. You're really good at picking lead-off singles, but you always, always choke on the follow-up. You have not ( Read more... )

TTT:EE won out, and I watched it with love. Except that I fell asleep for a little bit, ( do they count as spoilers if they're not new scenes? )
