This is one of the funniest things I’ve seen in quite some time. Headtilt.com!

Mmm, James Marsters. *gurgles and fans self*

Gak, I have been seriously neglecting my blog, not to mention my flist. Der!

A few links:

Once More, With Hobbits — I posted this ages ago, but I love it so much it was time to remind everyone of its brilliance. I showed it to Cyth yesterday, and she loved it, so yay.

Stolen from Ashley: Hitchhiker’s Guide Radio Drama — getting a facelift! Shiny!

Stolen from Cyth: Buffy and Angel Telefilms in the works — The only thing I have to say is “GUH.” Or perhaps “GLEE!”

What the… is anyone else totally irritated by the new Blogger format thing? Auto &ltp&gt breaks instead of &ltbr&gt for each “return” stroke… auto link formatting… Could it get more annoying? *jabs Blogger in the cranium* But oooh, while attempting to fix all the wonky Blogger formatting errors, I figured out how to get it back to the old version! Yaaaaay.

Back from sunny, gorgeous Santa Fe! Keith Carter is even more godlike in person, one of my classmates bought a print of Dream for $175 (unmatted and unframed), and though usually very sparing with compliments, Keith said my photographs were “without a doubt, the single best work from a 19-year-old I’ve ever seen.” Pardon me whilst I keel over and die.

It’ll be a while before I can post anything coherent, as I am still rendered senseless from squeeage, and I’m at LJ friends?skip=975. But I did get to see Ko while breezing through Albuquerque! (Wow, I hope I spelled that correctly. Weird Al is no help. “A! L! B! U! … querque!”) I’m a bit disappointed to have neglected World Blog Haiku Day, but I look forward to next year, when it will be celebrated on 5-7-05. W00t!

And now, I take my temporary leave. *dives into Friends page*

Bwee! Dad and I visited the Dallas Contemporary Gallery this afternoon to see the Members Show, as I missed the opening when I was in NYC (the pictures from which I have already uploaded to Photobucket and will post and caption soon). All the members of the gallery were invited to submit one piece of work to be shown, then a critic selected five artists to have their own group show. As my family and I are all members, we each submitted a photograph, Death in my case.

I wasn’t selected as one of the five (as expected — there were some 300 submissions and I had no delusions of grandeur), but I was delighted to see that after the opening, the gallery director had since put little blurb talking points below certain images in order to stimulate those unaccustomed to contemporary art, and mine was one of those twelve. Twelve out of three hundred were highlighted by the gallery director as being particularly intellectually stimulating! I am so good!

Apologies for the lack of posts as of late. I haven’t given myself the chance to sit down and compose a massive New York post yet, and I feel weird about blogging about day-to-day stuff before the big NYC post is done. Even I don’t understand my logic, so don’t try. :D

Um, I’ve seen Spiderman 2 and Farenheit 9/11, both of which were keen. I still can’t find my glasses, which were lost in New York, not unlike Macaulay Culkin. Rachel and I have schemed diverse madcap exploits, most of which centering on Firefly. Life is good, and I’m off to Santa Fe tomorrow for a photographic workshop, taught by the godlike Keith Carter. Pardon me whilst I gurgle.

As at least 12 people on my flist have pointed out, the name of the sixth HP book has been revealed! And like an idiot, I immediately posted it myself as well, not thinking that there could be some who wouldn’t want to know yet for reasons beyond my comprehension. So anyway, in absence of an LJ-cut, I’ve blacked out the text. Highlight the supposedly blank space below to read.

Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince.

Rowling added, “Certain crucial pieces of information in book six were originally planned for Chamber of Secrets, but very early on (first draft of Chamber) I realized that this information’s proper home was book six. I have said before now that Chamber holds some very important clues to the ultimate end of the series. Not as many as six, obviously, but there is a link.” Rowling said that the “half blood prince” of the title is neither Harry nor Voldemort.

Though I must confess, I prefer alice_and_lain’s suggestion of “Percy Weasley and the Black-Haired Kid with the Lightning Scar.”
