La, la, la. I have a kerzillion open tabs of random things:
Unabashedly Geeky Punctuation & Geek Icons, and icons from TS Eliot's The Wasteland, To Kill a Mockingbird, and Fry & Laurie, Jeeves & Wooster, and Doctor Who
McDonald's Prepares for Fast Food Nation "McDonald's however, isn't running scared. Oh no. Instead, they're exchanging war-like internal memos, and promising a "full-scale media campaign" in responses to the upcoming media assault."
Chew on This: Everything You Didn't Want to Know about Fast Food looks like Fast Food Nation for junior high and up. (Too old for my library, or I'd totally be getting it.)
grainspotting Webcomic.
Firefly lights, very cool, but annoyingly, the site plays music at you when it first loads. If I had a yard, I'd want some of these.
Inside Out: Straight Talk from a Gay Jock by Mark Tewksbury. Autobiography from the gay Olympic swimmer, just out. (The book is just out, not the author, who was out already.)
Goth subculture may protect vulnerable children "About half of teenage goths have deliberately harmed themselves or attempted suicide, a new study suggests. But joining the modern subculture – which grew out of the 1980s gothic rock scene – may actually protect vulnerable children, researchers say."
"The best-selling report by the commission that examined the September 11 attacks is being adapted into a graphic book, which the publisher hopes will widen the audience for the panel's findings. The 9/11 Report, A Graphic Adaptation will be published in September." Hmm.
Slings & Arrows season one on DVD! Yay!
Win a copy of the David Hewlett moive Ice Men. Open to US residents only, alas. (Especially since it's SUCH a Canadian movie--one of many ways to tell, from the one hockey scene, all the actors skate and know how to play a pick-up game.)
Iyari Limon on Buffy, Bisexuality, and Adventures in Cooking "When Limon landed the role of Kennedy on Buffy, she knew that she would be playing a lesbian. But what she didn't expect was the personal impact the role would have on her, that it would resurrect truths about her sexuality that she had tried to bury."
Trailer for the book King Dork.
Good Omens fan art, Spectators
The Drugs of Fandom "SGA = Acid. I…I don’t think there’s a whole lot of explanation necessary for this one. If you’ve ever even peeked at SGA fandom, you know that everyfreakin’body is tripping balls."
Okay, that's the random linkspam. There will be more fanfic links in the not-so-distant future.
