EEEEEEEE I WON SOMETHING IN THE BPAL RAFFLE. And I only bought two tickets, is the best part. Turns out I won one of Kythryne's Wearable Sculpture pendants (EEEEEEEE).

(I am a bad person who totally forgot to link to evilbearhunter's BPAL swap/sale last weekend like I promised. She has Tintagel and Sugar Skull! Siren is teh yum [no, really, I've been wearing it all week]! Forgive me!)

V for Vendetta Heroine Addict icons. Not too many, mostly alternate colors/compositions, but still. And there are already V/15M icons over at m15m. As always, take anything you want, credit nice but not a big deal, make your own, have a party.

Speaking of which, a return to linkspam, after a week sort of taken off to write V/15M and deal with that:

TeeVeePedia, a deeply awesome timesuck reference source. ("This article is a stub. A stub is a choice between two tasks, each with its own pros and cons. In Write, you help us by editing this article. In Waste, you just complain about what other people do.")

Geoffrey Chaucer hath a flame warre. And then Gowere strikes back. And then Chaucer pwnes Gowere.

Wikipedia lists April Fool's Day e-pranks (including Google Romance. Take the tour!), as well as news stories that looked fake, but weren't.

(Other AFD jokes: Mr. T to voice Reepicheep in Prince Caspian; Harry Potter fansite runners Melissa and Emerson marry, form The Leaky Mug.)

Tyson, the skateboarding bulldog. Pure awesomeness. 

Do Not Disturb Sign Gone from J.K. Rowling's Office. On her website, that is, which means that there may be new content to find.

'Rachel Corrie' play opens in London after NYC cancellation. Sidenote: I had no idea Alan Rickman was directing this.

You Can't Make It Up: The Saddest Movie In Cinematic History.

Reaching out to "Vanished" Kid Star via MySpace.

Samurai Kittens: A Good Game for Bad People. David, I think you would love this. The one where your cat rips out another cat's heart and it bursts into demonic flame is kind of awesome.

Oooh, those pendants are gorgeous! *tells self to leave the credit card in the purse*

[cleolinda.livejournal.com]

I absolutely love the two in the front page header that look like tropical flowers.

[deililly.livejournal.com]

I am caving. I want I want want. Those things are so beautiful!

[skyblade.livejournal.com]

Have you made any Teeveepedia additions yet?

(LJ's comment showing up thingy seems messed up today)

[cleolinda.livejournal.com]

I don't know that I will--I always get nervous about contributing to stuff. Like people are going to read it and go, "GAH, I could have done that better."

[valkyrie79.livejournal.com]

Hee, you're listening to Valerie. Is it the Monkees song or another one?

[cleolinda.livejournal.com]

It's this really pretty section from the V for Vendetta soundtrack, actually. I kept wondering if I should send it to you. : )

[tabbyclaw.livejournal.com]

Called to mind by the TeeVeePedia, are you familiar with the TV Tropes and Idioms (http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/) wiki? It's more "serious," but no less of an addicting timesuck.

[cleolinda.livejournal.com]

I love that site! I used to link to it in the Lost recaps whenever I mentioned something like "lampshade-hanging." *feels guilty about Lost recaps all over again*

[mollyblack.livejournal.com]

I'm not a big fan of Myspace (though I do have an account for networking) but 200k out of an alleged 66m = .30303% being removed. Not exactly a large quantity.

I have friends with legit lj accounts getting removed due to an alleged faulty algorithm search for spam and destroy accounts thing but that doesn't make lj evil. Even though it's a more flawed system for removal of accounts.

If you have ever made any pacts promising your soul to the Devil, this trailer is a great way to see if he really took you up on it. For, if you do not cry, sir, you have NO SOUL.

Um, yeah. I really don't know if I can handle watching the trailer, let alone the movie. 'Cause I cry at Hallmark commercials. :(

[polly-moopers.livejournal.com]

WTF HEEEELLLLEEEEEEEEN!

It was in Japanese (which I don't speak of word of), and I cried. How sad is that?

VERY SAD, KTHNX.

[eruvadhril.livejournal.com]

Do Not Disturb Sign Gone from J.K. Rowling's Office.
It has indeed, and there is new content. I won't give it away, but did you ever notice that rock behind the flowerpot?

[lotusbiosm.livejournal.com]

Hooray for new content. I was so happy when I figured out at least some of it.

[wicked-goddess.livejournal.com]

I saw that you has won something. Congratulations!!

[cleolinda.livejournal.com]

I didn't even know what it was until someone showed me a picture--and I love Kythryne's stuff, so I'm really excited. : )

[quenbolyn.livejournal.com]

Cute Japanese Boy + Deaf, Blind, and Mute Fox Cub + Pretty, Pretty Flowers = Cinematic Gold

[iamthemoon.livejournal.com]

Who's the chic in the second icon??

[cleolinda.livejournal.com]

That's one of the posters they mocked up for the Valerie shrine--I grabbed it off the official site.

[edda.livejournal.com]

Wheeeee!!!

*dives headfirst into linkspam*

[nasus221.livejournal.com]

Have you seen this?

Apparently, you're the 38th most popular person on LJ.

Comes from this...
http://trustmetrics.relativestate.net/ljpopularity.php?name=cleolinda

[cleolinda.livejournal.com]

Hee, yeah--I saw it on theferrett's journal yesterday. Although we realized that we're still both less popular than two goats and an abandoned web comic.

[fxchip.livejournal.com]

Yes, I know, the V for Vendetta icons are really, really old news, but I just have to say this: my default icon is now "What do you get for the woman who made you feel love again?" Because it's so good. :D

[cleolinda.livejournal.com]

Hee. (Not that old!) I think the reason it works is the picture I found for the final frame. She actually kind of has this "Uhhh..." look on her face.

[bacardibreezer7.livejournal.com]

Incase you feel the need to pimp this in your next round of linkspam.

Electronic Bras (http://www.enlighted.com/pages/bras.shtml)

[snapdragon76.livejournal.com]

*sniffles* That movie about the fox...


T_T It looks cute, but why do I get a bad omen about the ending...

[are-there-stars.livejournal.com]

Oh my god, the fox movie looks so sad and cute and SAD.

[evilbearhunter.livejournal.com]

Thanks, Cleo! I'll be adding a few more scents so other people should totally check it out! Really!

[cleolinda.livejournal.com]

Yay! Honestly, you have a lot of scents up there that I love (and already have, or I'd buy them). It's a really good sale.

Ursula Vernon discusses (http://ursulav.livejournal.com/464124.html?page=1#comments) the southern weather condition known as "the Devil's beating his wife," which then seques into a discussion of a fairy tale called "How the Devil Married Three Sisters." This tale is an example of a Fitcher's Bird story, which is in turn a subspecies of Bluebeard.

I'm not sure if this would make good linkspam, but maybe you'll enjoy it because I know you're interested in southernisms and fairy tales.

Natalie Portman linkspam, in case you haven't seen it.

Chaucer linkspam

[1screaminglamb.livejournal.com]

I know I don't comment all too often on your blog, though like everyone else I read it. You are crazy cool. Seriously. I needed a good laugh and the Chaucer link did it for me. I didn't think anyone would be geeky enough to make one. My BA in English focus was in Medieval lit. Thanks for the linky link.

Re: Chaucer linkspam

[cleolinda.livejournal.com]

Aww, thanks! The Chaucer blog is seriously one of the best things on the internet(s) right now.
