An interview with Marjane Satrapi, author of Persepolis (a graphic novel autobiography about growing up in Iran) about her new book, Chicken With Plums. It'sset in 1958 Tehran, and its main character, Nasser Ali Khan, is loosely based on her mother's real-life uncle, a famous musician.
Twists, Slugs and Roscoes: A Glossary of Hardboiled Slang Why get in a car when you can hop in a boiler? Why tell someone to shut up when you can tell them to close their head? Why threaten to discharge a firearm when you can say, "Dust, pal, or I pump lead!" This is the language spoken by Philip Marlowe, Sam Spade, Mike Hammer and the Continental Op. When Cagney, Bogart, Robinson and Raft got in a turf war, this is how they talked. Now, with the help of this glossary, you too can speak it like a native!
Drawn Together, an article from the Village Voice on yaoi.
Interval Library Dance of the moving shelves.
Bohemian Rhapsody for comic Relief Like you haven't all seen this already! (At least, anyone who's interested.) Various British comedians and actors (including actors from Jeeves & Wooster and Red Dwarf) perfom Queen's "Bohemian Rhapsody" as part of a benefit-type fundraiser thingie.
I'm also quite sure most of you have seen the teaser trailer for Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix. A longer, behind-the-scenes type clip here.
City Lights: Good Old-Fashioned Lover Boy Slashy fanvid using Queen's "Good Old-Fashioned Lover Boy" and Charlie Chaplin's "City Lights".
Music from the Great War If you're in a maudlin mood, and just feel like listening to "And The Band Played Waltzing Matilda.
There's already a lj comm for Torchwood slash, specifically, Gwen/Toshiko femmeslash![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-community.gif)
gwentoshiko. Though at this point, there only seems to be one author writing it...
Unshelved, a web comic about a public library, did this "Pimp my Bookcart" sequence. Now they're running a contest. Brilliant!
