Yes, I am. Basically, I'm just going to type until I get called to dinner.

First of all, let me say that all of the bombs in cars in London freak me out especially because I was just there. Like, the one they found in Hay Market? There was an article about it with pictures, and I was like, "Whoa. I came off of that tube stop they how have blocked off! I was standing right there, in that roped-off section of Picadilly Circus! Geez.

Second of all, I made a youtube account for myself this summer for the sole purpose (or "purples," as I mistyped it originally) of favoriting videos I like so that I know where they all are. Unhappily, several of the Jane Eyre vids and one for the '83 Mansfield Park that I liked a lot just got deleted. But anyway, some really cool clips and and fanvids (a guilty pleasure of mine) can be found there-- including a couple of clips of the production of A Midsummer Night's Dream I was raving about when I got back from England-- can be found there currently. Check it out if you're bored or whatever. Good times.

Also, something that came up on my flist last week: They're making a Color of Magic/Light Fantastic Movie? For real? I had heard absolutely nothing about this! Again, like The Wee Free Men, and Hogfather, if it comes down to it, a weird choice, but I'm all for more Discworld movies, regardless. I'm not sure whether this is another TV movie that we'll never get to see in America like Hogfather or whether this is an honest-to-goodness theatrical film. I hope the latter. Well, depending on the quality, I suppose.

But I saw the Hogfather movie, finally, via veoh.com. It was really good. A bit long, yes, and probably confusing if you haven't read the book, but it was very well-cast. Michelle Dockery, who played Susan, was absolutely excellent. And Mr. Teatime was creepy, though not in the way I expected him to be. Overall, it was good times. And the intro got me so psyched. It's on my youtube.

Finally, my blog's birthday has once again passed me by unawares, but Turtle is now three years, one month, and three days old today. To celebrate, here are some icons that perhaps only Whitney will get, but I don't care.

Basically, I wrote a silly story about how Cutthroat Badminton is the traditional pasttime of a pirate, and Jack Sparrow doesn't know how to play.
