Oh. My. God. Watch this, right now. Ann Coulter and Tucker Carlson discuss relations with Canada. This is the funniest thing I’ve seen in weeks, and the knowledge that these two actually believe what they’re saying just boggles the mind. Good gravy on a stick, there are no words.
I just updated the illustration gallery of theninemuses.net with links to the actual images. My next step will be to add the individual pages for each image (artist’s notes and all that), but in my list of priorities, that will come after I update my photographic gallery. Hurrah, soon I will no longer be ashamed of my website and willing to actually give the link out to people!
Comments should be posted in my livejournal so that I can keep them and love them and name them George. Stupid transitoryness of Blogback comments…
JKR updated her site today! Woohoo!
She squashed rumors of Luna and Neville hooking up in HBP, which advances my campaign for Harry/Luna, tra-la! (Condolences to the L/N shippers!) Also, she added lots of nifty info on Wands, which makes my little WIAN enthusiast heart sing.
And Glock posted this bit on Celtic tree astrology (xylology?), and apparently I am ASH.
Ash Tree (Ambition) — extremely attractive, vivacious, impulsive, demanding, does not care for criticism, ambitious, intelligent, talented, likes to play with fate, can be very egotistic, reliable, restless lover, sometimes money rules over the heart, demands attention, needs love and much emotional support.
*cackles*
Yet more Firefly-related curiosities (see? this is what happens when I neglect a fandom for a few weeks): Does this mean Serenity is no longer the 10th character? Rumblings here, most notably verifying that the picture isn’t a forgery, but the solitication cover. Der. I wonder how Adam managed to grow 3 inches between the two photos.
Ah. I misheard what Alan said. It’s been confirmed on fff.n that his name is “Hoban Washburn” *snerks*. And Keith R.A. DeCandido, who wrote the Serenity novelization, confimed that the full names of Wash, Book, and Zoe (her maiden name) will be mentioned in Serenity. Snazzy.
The trailer for Tim Burton’s Charlie and the Chocolate Factory is here!
I really need to reread the book… and for contrast, watch the Gene Wilder movie again. It’s been years since I’ve done either.
Interesting. Gina Torres‘s newly-updated website says Zoe and Wash’ surname is Warren, as well. And it refers to Wash as “Jerry Lee Warren”, whereas in the interview with Alan Tudyk the other day he said something like “Holden Washburn.”
Can we get Joss to clarify this? It seems Nathan has said that Joss said it was Washburn, and on the FFF.n boards it says the “Jerry Lee” came from a mistake in a transcript of “Our Mrs. Reynolds”, but it would be nice to hear firsthand. And to know what Alan actually said Wash’s first name was, because the lousy sound quality made it difficult to understand.
Hee, I love how fandom loves to make a huge deal out of things that in the grand scheme of things do not matter at all. *coughBlaise’sgendercough*
Wow. Modeling machines in Maya is so much less fun than modeling creatures.
There’s a meme going around LJ, in which you take one of your icons and badly edit a Santa hat on whoever is featured. I am too easily amused.
Jayne, Binky, and Boo. Life is good.
*sulks* Here I was, thinking that it was too good to be true. The THARTS Spring show was going to be Lady in the Dark, which is excellent. They were offering the project as a class, meaning that I could count it towards my theatre minor. It was going to meet 3 hours a night, 4 days a week, compared to 4 hours a night, 5 days a week for “Annie Get Your Gun”, meaning that I would spend less time in rehearsal each week and have one fewer class outside of theatre to worry about. The lead role was intriguing and perfect for my vocal range. I even nudged Aaron into considering the position of Assistant Music Director for the show.
And today I find out that they’ve already cast nearly the entire production before even holding open auditions, and the two female roles the email I received referred to were not Liza and Sutton but two other random characters.
I’m well aware that I have a prima donna-like desire for recognition, though of course it’s natural to want to be in the spotlight and not be another faceless chorus member. I’ve been spoiled rotten by the juicy roles I’ve had in high school and at Penn so far, and I’m less fond of the idea of trying out for a show that has already had the lead roles cast.
And now I’m looking at the Penn Performing Arts Website, and most of the groups haven’t even posted what their spring shows are going to be. And those that have posted really don’t sound that interesting. *sigh* Auditions for One Acts are today and tomorrow, but I don’t know anything about the shows, and I’d much rather do a musical.
…
And I just got an email back from the director, and he said that no, only the two lead roles, Liza and Dr. Brooks, have been cast, and everything else is open. The reason they said there were only two roles left to be filled is because there are; for the show, they’ve reduced a 20-person cast to an ensemble of 8. 2 women, plus Liza, and 4 guys, plus Dr. Brooks. So that sounds rather awesome, actually. And the roles of Liza and Dr. Brooks are thesis roles for two acting majors, which explains why they’ve already been cast.
So yeah, I’m still trying out for Lady in the Dark. I hope I stand a chance with only two girls being taken, but if not, I’ll just have to wait until the other groups announce their Spring shows, and decide from there. And if I don’t do a show, then I’ll just have that time for academics and perhaps get back to CGing and such.
