Memeage.

First of all, a link to Prop 8 - The Musical. :)

Then the icon meme (always knew I'd give in sooner or later...)

-Reply to this post and I will pick six of your icons.
-Make a post (including this info) and talk about the icons I chose.
-Other people can then comment to you and make their own posts.
-This will create a never ending cycle of icon glee.

skybound2 chose these 6: ( Read more... )

Finally, in case someone missed it, I posted chapter 8 of My Immortal the other day. (The next chapter might take a little longer, what with Christmas and such.)

ETA: Review of Twilight (the movie), in the Guardian. Not positive. A snippet: If only Meyer had taken Buffy as her template. If only she had used that groundbreaking series as her foundation and built on it. If only there was a Whedonesque intelligence and modern, feminist sensibility informing Twilight and its successors. If only.

Twilight-y stuff. (Also known as procrastination.)

So, until today I had never heard of Caitlin Flanagan (the author of To Hell With All That (2006). She is currently working on Girl Land, a book about the emotional life of pubescent girls.), and it turns out that she is a Twilight fan. (I can see why. Oooooh yes.) She has a review here, which I skimmed (lots of stuff about 'the emotional life of pubescent girls' which made my eyes glaze over), but at the top of page two I was greeted with this astonishing declaration:

Twilight is fantastic. It’s a page-turner that pops out a lurching, frightening ending I never saw coming.

What? *boggles* [ETA: Unless she means 'Breaking Dawn', in which case - absolutely!] My mind immediately sprang back to my first experience of Twilight - shinga's reviews (beginning here), and her summary of the ending: ( Under cut so as not to spam you overly )

BUT - in happier news I also found what might be the funniest review of the movie so far: ENJOY!
