For some reason I've become completely obsessed with Scooch's "Maybe Tomorrow" after hearing it in this tribute video to the Second Doctor from Doctor Who. I literally CANNOT STOP LISTENING TO IT...I blame its peppiness! (I am weak vs. peppy, as many of you know.)

A few years back there was a kind of awesome BAFTA award-winning animation of Gawain and the Green Knight by a couple of Irish animation studios.

Well, my brief friends-only experiment is over; I don't think any of my students have found me, and honestly at this point I don't really care if they find me talking about sparkly videogame buttsex (which is now my set phrase to describe the contents of my LJ). And I would like my friends from the W.C. to be able to read this, despite most of them ( Read more... )
