linky in spirit

We watched Dial M for Murder last night. I had high hopes for it, having enjoyed Hitchcock's "North by Northwest" a few weeks ago, but this was even better! The opening 15 minutes or so were packed with tension, and although sometimes older movies don't hold up today since their twists have become terribly commonplace, this one holds up quite well. Highly recommended. The Alamo Drafthouse had a tribute Michael Jackson singalong last night , and they say there will be more this weekend. I went... read more

*waves hullo* Chapter 11 ("Exchanges") of In Spirit is posted on OWL: Linky. Summary: Severus bargains, books dance, and Mimi gets breakfast. Hermione flips a coin. Informal summary: (*grins* I love writing these.) Hermione's day goes from awkward to frustrating to confusing. Severus says little but reveals something more than nothing. Mimi gets breakfast, Demetrios enjoys himself thoroughly, and Hermione can't have a Time-Turner. Something startling happens. I wonder how she feels about...

Writerly Summary: Holy layering with watercolors, Batman. Special thanks to Indy and Karelia for helping me keep the brush dry enough not to rip the paper...

Heeee. Linked by the fantastical newvani , it's the Grim Fandango puzzle layout document.

Grim Fandango came along after I'd died...

So, has something been going on the last couple of days? Because I... didn't notice. THE OBAMA INAUGURATION IE: THE AWESOMEST THING TO HAPPEN SINCE SLICED BREAD (But First, a recap!) The Daily Show With Jon Stewart M - Th 11p / 10c Barack Obama: Path to the Presidency Barack Obama Interview John McCain Interview Sarah Palin Video Funny Election Video Pre-Game Show I would like to state, for the record, how tickled I am that the Lego...

Today is Misguided Voices in our Heads Begone Day. Join us in observing it over at jeannineatkins 's journal. A photosynthesizing sea slug! Really, it takes so little to make me happy. (via Ann Downer) I'm probably pretty much the last person on the planet to read Leah Bobet's "Bears" over on strange horizons. But I liked it lots. "Ninety-eight percent of all fictional deaths are directly attributable to being eaten by bears ..." (via supertailz ) Because we only tend to...
