Just a little pimpin'...

Today is World Book Day, in case you didn't know (well it is at our school at least!). The girls got to dress up for school, which was a little complicated since it took forever for them to make up their minds, but in the end Impish Girl went as Martha (from Doctor Who - we have quite a few stories about her, so I figure that counts. And it's better than a Disney princess!). I happen to have a red jacket very similar to Martha's, so that was fairly easy. Little Miss M decided to go as Hermione (The Prisoner of Azkaban was on TV some weeks ago), and we found clothes that were a pretty good fit. And with her hair all wavy she actually looked *very* Hermione-like! (I also made a 'Hogwarts, a History' cover for one of her books, so she can go around pretending to know everything. Which is *so* her.)

Anyway, I have a couple of recs:

Origin Stories BtVS vid by giandujakiss - a brilliant, brilliant look at Slayers, vampires and a certain coat. I love meta vids, and this one will definitely make you think!
ETA: Thoughts by aycheb. Stuff to ponder.

Number of... Spike/Angel fic by girlpire. Very, very original - and funny, moving and insightful too. Enjoy! :)

ETA: I've been forgetting this: One of the most brilliant Doctor Who macros I've ever seen! (And no, it's not a Buffy cross-over one) Spoilers for the end of S3. Oh and it comes complete with the adorable fic rec ever! It will make you smile. Lots. :)

Eeek - your first line put me into a panic - but we're not doing World Book Day until next week (6th March I think). Must find out what they want to dress up as though, or I will be panicking next Wednesday. *g*

Bet your girls looked lovely.

We were going to sort it out over the weekend, but then the weekend became horribly busy and we were hardly home... thank goodness for last minute inventiveness. :)

They did! I'd totally have taken a picture, except we've run out of film.

We have a World Book Day thing here too! I think we call it World Reader Day though, but I can't remember. We have it March 1st (Feb 29 this year for school purposes) to celebrate Dr. Suess' biurthday. Too cool that our "world days" all fall on different days, but seem essentially the same :)

Wonderful, isn't it? And Dr Seuss is certainly worth celebrating. :)
