Most nifty:

…OK, how do people take pictures of things under glass without also taking a picture of their reflection? Do you have to use a telephoto lens?

I get the jokes, here.

(more…)

Proud Mary, Creedence Clearwater Revival

Never hurts to get a little Creedence.

…in the Target this afternoon, and I thought Hey, I need to get some more kids’ books.  Then I remembered, Hey, wait, Jane Yolen absolutely hates it when us dirty, filthy conservatives read her books.   So I picked up The Duckling Gets a Cookie!? (Pigeon) instead.  Because I don’t really know what Mo Willems thinks of conservatives; but I do know that he has the mother-wit to not go around in public and call half the country church-burners.

Yes, yes, I’m a horrible person for pointing all of this out.  People should so totally try to turn the Internet against me for this.

Again. (more…)

“RMS Titanic: The Millionaire’s Special” is a one-shot adventure for Kenneth Hite’s extremely excellent Trail of Cthulhu, which hopefully most people reading this will know by now is a Cthulhu Mythos RPG set (mostly) during the Great Depression.  Anyway: Pelgrane Press is donating all proceeds from the game to support the Heroes in the Dark charity. Their goal is “to create audio comics to be enjoyed by the blind and sight-impaired,” which sounds like something that’s reasonably worth tossing a couple of bucks at, particularly since you also get a gaming PDF about the Titanic out of it.  Check it out.

Wild Child, Enya

Hey, if she’s good enough for the head of the CIA…

Full title: Archangel: A Novel of Alternate, Recent History.   Anyway, not bad: alternate history (9/11, but with superheroics) fairly well written by Old School Righty blogger Aaron Worthing.  Some good partisan shout-outs without being too hardcore about it; people should check it out.

Also, I suspect that giving Aaron money will make domestic terrorists cry.

Little Lies, Fleetwood Mac

…Well, they may start small.

So my kids wanted to watch a DVD this morning, and this is what showed up on the screen:

Yeah.  That was one seriously fingerprinted DVD, huh?  Anyway, I took a picture because, well, art and stuff.  Which I guess answers my question.

Robin Laws apparently loves this Wu Xia flick to death:

…anybody else see it?  I ask because I’m having trouble catching flicks that aren’t streaming, these days; so before I add another DVD to the pile, I should probably check first.

True Colors, Cyndi Lauper

The past truly is a different country.  I keep expecting Hastur to stop by.

See, this is why you need to do oppo research first.

Even a little research would have indicated to this doofus that trying to inflame homophobia on this site would be doubly a fool’s errand.  Mind you, this kind of language would have gotten him thrown off of pretty much the entire Right-side of the ‘sphere anyway, but then we’ve known for some time that the Online Left’s view of the Online Right is terrifyingly evocative of the whispering voices that chitter blasphemies to, and urge horrors from, them in the dark of the night…

PS: Feel free:

I wouldn’t actually mind picking up Diablo III: Standard Edition.
