slipjig31) Several weeks back, I got an email from Sarah Kate from the then-soon-to-be-unveiled Small Screen Adventures podcast, asking if I'd be willing to let her and Emma Lee, her partner in geekery, use "88 Lines About 44 Fangirls" as the theme song for their biweekly show. I told her hell to the yes, and after a bit of waiting the first podcast is available, a nifty feature-length commentary on The Princess Bride. Go give it a listen!

figmentj went to file her income taxes, only to discover that someone had already filed them, under an old name she has not used in a decade. We've put our heads together, but cannot come up with enough cuss words to properly encapsulate the situation (although "pustulant stoat-felching stumphumper" is a good start). Paperwork has been paperworked, and now we wait. To counter this, however, she whipped up a veritable K2-sized heap of amazing baked goods yesterday, so I can safely say that life is, indeed, good.
3) I'd really really really like to dip my toes into the 100 Things Blogging Challenge, but I'm having difficulty narrowing down what genre my 100 things should fall into. Thoughts?
4) Also on the horizon, the once-every-decade Sight and Sound Critics' Poll of the greatest films ever made takes place this year, and it's making me want to dust off my semi-regular movie poll as well. On the one hand, my last attempt at doing this brought in a relatively low number of responses, and I'm afraid I'm making the regular responders sick of having to do this One More Time; on the other, the timing of the S&S poll is seriously making my thumbs twitch, and I'm wondering if doing it up in Google Docs instead of LJ and flinging it out to the other social madhouses on the web might not bolster the numbers. Ehh. We'll see where my motivation lands.
5) The mandolin (thanks to the suggestion of both of the folks on my f'list with "weird" in their names,maverick_weirdo and weyrdbird) has officially been named Vanya. I've christened it by learning how to play "Locomotive Breath" on it. Thank you.
