It’s that time again! A mass posting of a bunch of random links!

Dear MSN 2005 Movie Preview,

Hurrah, look at all these fun movies coming out in 2005! Ooh, the anticipation! Only next time, when you set aside a paragraph for “From TV to Big Screen”, please make some passing mention of Serenity? Teh weep.

Crossly,

Priscilla

Ummm, here’s the Joss Whedon Holiday Post that I somehow missed on Whedonesque. I cannot breathe for laughing.

So. Any particular reason why there won’t be any new Smallville until January 26th? Especially since the most recent episode was December 1st, and before that, November 17th? (Episode guides are handy! If I actually knew those dates, I think I would have to cry.) I miss my mindless hour of shirtless Tom Welling ogling!

Pah. But ooh! I am distracted from my pout by these new photos from Serenity! Is it just me, or do River’s enormous goggles remind anyone of those hilarious welding goggles Spike wears in “Spiral”?

Few news items have amused me as much as this: Britney Spears Quits Pop Music To Become a Forensic Scientist.

Of course, then I see this link to Hip-Hop mimes for Christ, and all bets are off. I think I ruptured something laughing.

Happy happy happy news from Gneil:

Merrilee Heifetz of Writers House, acting as agent for Gaiman, McKean, and The Jim Henson Company, negotiated a book deal with HarperCollinsPublishers for two MIRRORMASK projects. MIRRORMASK, an oversized, beautifully designed volume, containing the complete script and storyboards, and augmented by notes and observations by the creators, as well as full-color art from the film, will be published in the summer of 2005 by William Morrow/An Imprint of Harper Collins Publishers.

*lusts*

Also from Neil’s blog, a useful tool for packrats like me: Save that Calendar! And because the subject matter is so amusing, BBC Goes Ahead with Springer Opera

And to end, some random BtVS ponderings: It’s About Height and My Comparisons Between Spuffy and Christine/Phantom. Mmm, archetypes!

Well, it’s the new year! I spent New Year’s Eve at home with a bunch of my JETS alumnae, where we watched a bunch of Lost episodes, the pilot of Futurama, and played several games of “Chronology,” wherein I demonstated a rather impressive ability at guessing the dates certain random patents were established, and also that I am a bad Liberal. Crazy fun! A splendid time and a cup of black-eyed peas were guaranteed for all.

Oh, and Chungy and Cyth? You lie! You said that this week, Lost was going to be preempted by two hours of Alias. Falsehoods, all of it! Wednesday, Jan. 5, 8/7: Lost 1×12 — “Whatever the Case May Be.”

They say that what you do on January 1st is a good indication of how you’ll spend your year. I wonder if the first blog entry of the year also indicates how I’ll blog? If so, 2005 will be a year of:

  • Making fun of George W Bush
  • Gushing over fandom

I’m sure you’re all shocked.

From Ann Coulter’s website:

To The People Of Islam:

Just think: If we’d invaded your countries, killed your leaders and converted you to Christianity YOU’D ALL BE OPENING CHRISTMAS PRESENTS RIGHT ABOUT NOW!

Merry Christmas

Utterly unbelievable. There are no words to describe this woman.

This evening, Alicey and I watched these videos of the tsunami together. They speak for themselves. Seeing all those people on the shore in the Patong Beach video, and the man trapped on an outcropping near the end of the same video, helpless as he watched the water rush by him and the water levels rising… Nightmare after nightmare come true. CNN reports over 56,000 dead, and that’s only the tip of the iceberg, with the inevitable threat of disease. There are no words.

I say “Heck yeah!” My theatre lighting professor hasn’t posted my grade yet, but I’m delighted beyond reason over my other classes.

My 3D modeling class? A. And talking to Jing, it appears almost everyone else in the class got an A-. Why the special treatment for me? Not the foggiest clue.

My Film History class? B+. If I recall correctly, got a B on the first paper and a B+ on the exam, so that means I must have gotten at least a B+ on my final paper! Hotness!

The Computer Science class of doom, in which my final grade was .12 above an uncurved F? Curved to a C. C, baby! I am so good!

The Math class of horrors, which I considered dropping after doing miserably on the first exam. A MINUS. HOLY COW. I haven’t gotten an A in Math in YEARS. Oh, the groove is BACK!

I found my negatives from the Clan Tynkers shoot (where I made the images that I use in the current tnm.n layout), and I’m now scanning a bunch of negatives that I never got to print before. So many awesome images, so little time. Did I ever post any of the other images from the shoot? I think I posted a couple on DeviantArt, but never in my LJ. Ah well, pretty soon, I’ll finish the new layout for my photographic gallery, so you’ll be able to see everything (including the images I’m scanning now) there.
