Remember the Etsy shop with proceeds going to the sick friend? She's restocked, and I particularly asked her to add some more lily earrings.

Didn't Disney already make a Tower of Terror movie? With, like, Kirsten Dunst in it? I totally remember watching that as a kid.

[visceralvamp.livejournal.com]

Well, it was a made-for-TV movie, I think. But I totally remember it, too.

[wolfsilveroak.livejournal.com]

Awwwww poor koala.

[elvensapphire.livejournal.com]

The koala story makes me weep. In the best of ways. Animals are often such incredible little beings.

[neveth.livejournal.com]

*nodnod* I also want to find that fireman and give him a BIG hug.

[exileslament.livejournal.com]

Ooooo... pretty Watchmen portraits! Everything is looking so spot-on for the graphic novel, can't wait to see how the movie turns out!

This.

And neither was Nightmare Before Christmas. Well, not directed anyway. Poor Henry Selick :(

Premortem Mourning

[reticent-lass.livejournal.com]

If by 'bigger and darker' he means 'Optimus dies'? Been done. Like, three or four goddamn times. DON'T DO IT, YOU TALENTLESS HACK.

Re: Premortem Mourning

[bumblebee-1983.livejournal.com]

Hey now, it'll be dark in Optimus dying, but then he'll be back. He always came back in the cartoons.

Did I seriously just sound like Ah-nold in the Terminator there? My apologies.

[captainsblog.livejournal.com]

It's pronounced "fudgicle." Or more precisely, "Fudgicle brand chorklit ice cream pops" if you want to keep far more serious lawyers than me away.

Just sayin'. (http://www.epinions.com/srvc-review-EC9-10B0F6B9-39922B95-prod1)

Hi Cleo. Just a quick note to say thank you for linking to the Australian Red Cross website so that people can make donations to the bushfire appeal. It's great to see people from all over the world responding to the crisis and helping the victims of this horrific tragedy. It is greatly appreciated.

[mebfeather.livejournal.com]

Ditto. There are just so many people suffering. It's nice to know that others care.

Thankyou!

[smirkdoctor.livejournal.com]

Yay for R-rated Eddie Murphy comedies! Also, yay for the theme song to BHC. "Axel F" = favorite. song. ever.

[surreptitially.livejournal.com]

Those Australia pictures are so horribly sad :( Those poor animals.

[amberdulen.livejournal.com]

Huh. Tower of Terror movie. The ride is 100% awesome, but I have trouble imagining a movie being awesome enough.

[apocalyptically.livejournal.com]

Oh hey, are you an Emilie Autumn fan? Or maybe this is common knowledge and I just noticed today, lol. Anyway, just wanted to say I love "Rapunzel." :)

[cleolinda.livejournal.com]

Well, I don't know that any of my musical tastes are common knowledge, but this is the only song of hers I have. I need to get some more, really; I like her style.

[kaitlynfall.livejournal.com]

Thanks for raising awareness of the fires in Victoria. Us aussies need all the help we can get. <3

[msilverstar]

I got my earrings from jolijoli and they're really pretty! I'm too old and grumpy to buy stuff I don't like, but those swirls are exactly my style :-)

[g-woman82.livejournal.com]

Hey Cleo,

Thanks for posting up the links for the Red Cross Australia site and encouraging people to donate for the Victorian Bushfire Disaster. Every time I see that picture of the koala it kills me coz I think it's worse for the animals & wildlife who can't help themselves.

People can also make donations to Wildlife Victoria (http://www.wildlifevictoria.org.au/cms/index.php) and als the RSPCA (http://www.rspcavic.org/campaigns_news/news_bushfires.htm) to try and assist the animal carers too!

Thanks again, it means a lot to us know that there are people all over the world who are willing to help!

Video of very cute (but heartbreaking) Koala! (http://player.video.news.com.au/news/#AChOHqKEQmKMfv52qA_TGucgz0BnnYkO)

It's just so sad. Koalas don't drink water - they get their water/fluids from Eucalyptus tree leaves. So imagine how dehydrated he must have been. Poor little thing.

[laurelin-kit.livejournal.com]

Oh God, I didn't even think about that. Poor koala.

'John Waters' Kids Movie Scrapped'

I am deeply, deeply saddened by this loss. And I'm not even being ironic. That would've been insanely awesome.

[phorie.livejournal.com]

It's so surreal reading about the fires on your blog. I think I'm still in shock about how bad it really was. We were very, very lucky, the wind changed before our house or any of my friends' were in any real danger.

On a lighter note, I was gonna say I was sure I'd seen a Tower of Terror movie once already. It was ... not memorable

[ppyajunebug.livejournal.com]

Am I the only one who thinks that the guy dressed as David Bowie in the "Watchmen" portraits looks exactly like Glenn Howerton from "It's Always Sunny In Philadelphia"? And...now I have "Dayman" stuck in my head.

[chrryblssmninja.livejournal.com]

now that you point it out, I do see the resemblance

my poor horseham...

[faeriethirteen.livejournal.com]

yeah! donate to the red cross! my poor Horseham is practically destroyed! (I don't live there, but my god I adore the place.)

I was so shocked to see it happening in Victoria - it never got so hot when I lived there.

As for NM casting rumours - that girl from the new 90210 always looks like she's drunk or stoned or something.

[kosher-jenny.livejournal.com]

Stephen Chow + superhero comedy = YES. I was so bummed when I heard that he wasn't going to be directing the Green Hornet, so I'm happy to hear that he'll still be doing something in the genre.

And Nite Owl I in those portraits looks badass.

[foresthouse.livejournal.com]

The fires are so sad. :(

That jewelry is lovely. I particularly like these: green ones (http://www.etsy.com/view_listing.php?listing_id=20219480). And the lilies, of course. :)

I saw the news re: HarperCollins and just went, "OH NO." Oh dear oh dear. :(

[r-a-black.livejournal.com]

Oh mah gawd, those lily earrings are gorgeous.

And holy crap at the Watchmen portraits, I wasn't expecting one of Rorscharch and his mom.

[txvoodoo.livejournal.com]

Cleon, thanks SO MUCH for re-pimping Joli's jewelry :) :)

[unicornluvr.livejournal.com]

I just got the earrings I ordered last night- they're beautiful! I am sending one pair in a package of presents to a friend in NY. They come so perfectly gift wrapped.

I am so glad I could help and have something beautiful to remind me of it in the process.
