For those of you just joining us this afternoon: JKR WON THE LEXICON CASE.

As much linkspam as I could pull together given that I have 130 146 158 unread Lexicon-related emails (and counting): ( VMAs, film festivals, deep chagrin )

My day has been made. (I may or may not have helped talk Jessica into posting this--she was afraid of the Twihards. In fact, I may or may not have suggested that GFY send any angry fans to me. BRING IT IF YOU THINK YOU'VE GOT IT. BECAUSE IF YOU BRING IT, I WILL POLITELY TELL YOU THAT SNARK IS KIND OF WHAT I DO AND IF IT DOESN'T SUIT YOU THEN YOU ( Read more... )

You know that saying (or possibly quotation, I don't know), "When you're bored, you're boring"? I feel very bored and boring and uninspired. But at the same time, I have this weird, tense feeling, like I'm supposed to be doing something (other than the things I already don't feel inspired to do). I just don't know what. It's like I'm waiting for ( Read more... )

"Hey, you know that part at the end of Cloverfield, where they're under the bridge?"

"Yeah?"

"What's it called? I think I'm there." ( Read more... )

Much quieter today. Tried to get some rest today so that I can annotate tonight--fewer distractions at night, plus I'm not away from the internet (which I need for many of the notes and citations themselves). Last I heard from Sister Girl, she was at the Vosges store in NYC, but it was too loud to hear her over the phone. Not much else going on, ( Read more... )

Sweeney Todd: Can't stop listening to soundtrack, plz send help. The extras on the second disc are fairly decent, by the way. No commentary, but--have you ever heard a Tim Burton commentary? Forget a Depp and Burton commentary--the one on Sleepy Hollow was Mumbletown all the way. But there's a few good bits on the costumes (which, if you've spent ( Read more... )

Re: yesterday's Scientology raids: laughingacademy dropped me a link to deathboy's London writeup, in which he saw "500 people rick-rolling [i.e., playing Rick Astley's "Never Gonna Give You Up." Don't ask me] the UK Scientology head office. It was at this point I saw the corners of the cops' mouths twitch into smiles as they realised it was ok: we were from the ( Read more... )

Not a bad day. Not a productive one, but not a bad one, either.

( Heath Ledger )

Not that it's very interesting now, but I have scribbled down "How I found the photos--seven years to the day" as a reminder to talk about it, so: I had installed the program Need3Space because I have millions, literally millions, of files on my computer, and I was hoping to clear anything temporary off for a little breathing space. N3S doesn't ( Read more... )

I'm going to go ahead and get the linkspam out now--I'll post about Cloverfield when I get back from the movie tonight. I really don't think we'll have power or connectivity issues until tomorrow, if at all, but I find that preparing for things tends to prevent them, in a superstitious way ( Read more... )
