Here, have some links!

. from thedith: Excerpts of one-star reviews of some of the novels on Time's 'best' list. My favourite? One reviewer's anger at Nabokov not being considerate of the American public when he wrote Lolita, bless him/her/it.

. from cimarosa: Frank Miller is putting out a comic about Batman fighting Al Qaeda. Said the unbalanced maestro: "It just seems silly to chase around the Riddler when you've got Al Qaeda out there." Why, yes, Frank. It *does* seems silly to chase the Riddler. You know what also seems silly? BATMAN.

. the Wee Sister has completed a new bunch of drawbles, and friends, you do not want to miss them. There's Dickens, Final Fantasy, Red Dwarf, U2, QaF-US, Supernatural, Firefly, HP, anime -- something for everyone!

. everything fandom ever suspected is true! The JJB confirms that JC is a tender, delicate flower who forgives like a martyr, cries like a baby, and enjoys life as a doormat! Oh, my stars and garters. [EDIT] whoopsie, the post is locked now so I've removed the link. ah, well -- you all know the merry-go-round as well as I do.

Also, here is a meme: what are the word mis-usages that most agitate you?

- when people use "bath" instead of bathe and "breath" instead of breathe
- "carmel" instead of caramel. Carmel is a MOUNTAIN, dammit!
- sandwhich. hampster.
- "ghee" instead of gee. Although this might be because I'm of Indian extraction, so to me "ghee" is clarified butter and not an exclamation. Ghee willikers!!
