No, not Daveolinks or Steveolinks. Bobolinks.
- As Lizzy reminded me below, the hopefully so-bad-it's-badass Snakes on a Plane opens tomorrow. Now you can get a hilarious personalized call from Samuel L. Jackson telling you all about it. (Via Jeremiah.)
- Be like Hermione: Study Arithmancy.
- Be like Jackson Pollock: Paint! (Hey, it's a blobolink!) (Via Lisa.)
- A transcript of my Pottercast interview, in case you can't download the MP3.
- An awesome analysis of time-travel plots and tropes; see especially "Twenty Fun Things to Do with a Time Machine."
- An excellent writing analogy from Stephanie.
- My college friend Susan Letcher -- who has hiked the Appalachian Trail both ways, barefoot much of the time, because she's just that tough and cool -- has a blog documenting her adventures in tropical ecology.
- Finally, useful products for writers. Also: cat algebra. Meow.

After reading the time-travel page I wish I was home alone so I could practice saying "SPPPPAACEE BBEEEAVVVERRS!!!" really loud. I won't because it would scare the men as well as the cat and the neighbors.
ReplyDeleteSpeaking of cats... what does Schrödinger's cat look like anyway?
Here is a link of Colin Firth silliness from my friend Anne.. titled "It's Hard To Be Colin Firth"

I loved those useful products for writers! And oh, to have a time machine. *sigh* I purchased a Timeturner from the Noble Collection, but it doesn't seem to work--come to think of it, the wands I purchased from them don't work either . . . me thinks they sell defective products!* :D
ReplyDeleteI love how the cat algebra works out to Tuna. In my algebra, all equasions equal Chocolate! ;) Life is so much simpler that way . . . though slightly fattening.
*In case you thought I may be a bit off my rocker, I thought I should post a disclaimer. I was, in fact, joking. I realize that these products are intended as collectibles and not functioning tools. I also realize that the world of Harry Potter is fiction . . . but darn it, housework would be so much easier with a wand! :D
I'm fascinated by your friend, Susan's blog site "Adventures in Tropical Ecology" now. Are you kidding me?? It's like a 14-car pile-up on the highway; I can't look, but I can't look away. Clearly, she's a badass.
ReplyDeleteI lived in the Mexican rainforest once, but snake-o-phobia got the best of me, and I came home. Wish I could be that tough. Now, I'll just have to live vicariously through her.
And I strongly agree with your previous post answer regarding Ann Coulter...wish I had thought of that answer when Lisa tagged me.
Blog on, Cheryl!

Lizzy, I am HONORED to have helped spread the Samuel L. Jackson love.
ReplyDeleteDid you catch Samuel on the Daily Show? And that awesome clip ... "I am so sick of these ...!" You fill in the blank, honestly.
ReplyDeleteI still haven't spotted any bobolinks. I saw a towhee once, if that's how you spell it. And I went clear up to Eagleville with some folks with the Missouri Department of Conservation and got up at 4 a.m. to see prairie chickens. There's about 10,000 left in Missouri, I think, don't quote me.
Though, looking again at the female bobolink, I wonder that maybe from a distance I've possibly gotten one mixed up with a dickessel.
I got this MDC copy of "Birds of Missouri" three years ago and I've been a mess ever since.
Hey, I was going to check illegal use of my blog when I ran into this!

I hope the link works. Strong language in the video of course, but for some that's part of the charm.
