Okay, I'm putting this above the cut, because it is one of the greatest things I have ever seen in my entire life, and given some of the things I have linkspammed, that is saying A LOT. Ladies and gentlemen, I bring you: THE BEST FANDOM SECRETS POST EVER. Turn off the internet, y'all. It's time to go home.

Meanwhile, we have more icons, for both "Growing Up Cullen" and the Midnight Sun recap, from [livejournal.com profile] incognito323.

(OKAY FIREFOX CAN STOP CRASHING ANY MOMENT NOW.)

Oh, re: JaHurricane: the J storm this year is Josephine, which makes me think of this Josephine. And the hurricane before Josephine? Ike. Looks like someone over at the World Meteorological Organization is a Lemony Snicket fan.

To all of you lucky, intrepid bastards going out to see The Dark Knight tonight: Godspeed, good times, and giggle at the Twilight trailer for me. And don't you dare come back here telling me how awesome the Watchmen trailer was on a big screen, or I'll thump you into next week.

ETA: WATCHMEN OFFICIAL HD ZOMG.

ETA 2: Well... it's not as bad as the Twilight cover.

([livejournal.com profile] cleojones, who is not me, has seen The Dark Knight already!)

Livejournal caves, brings back Basic Accounts. Poet laureate, Emmy nominations, S&M Barbie and more )

Omg I have so many things to catch up on. Not even linkspam per se (but also that), just things people have sent or left for me. So!

>> Scrap Girls have a free daily newsletter. In that newsletter, every day, they give away a digital scrapbooking freebie of some sort--a background, an "embellishment," whatever. And they always post a sample layout using that freebie. The St. Patrick's layout... well, it was late and they were froggy tired. Heh.

More importantly, [livejournal.com profile] sturmclan made a steampunk scrapbooking kit for me! *pets brocades*

>> More Lexicon updates.

>> Re: 10,000 BC: You. Bettah. WERK.

>> Help [livejournal.com profile] meandstuff out (omg I've had this flagged to post since February): Does anyone know the name of this movie?

>> So, how did the Scientology raids go? (I swear, I feel like Miracle Max each month: "Have fun storming the castle!") Read more... )

>> Terry Pratchett donates $1 million to Alzheimer's research; Match it For Pratchett! Raising £500,000 for Alzheimer's research. And via Neil Gaiman: "Also, I think I have slipped into a parallel universe in which everything is reversed. The Sun accurately reports everything that Terry said, while the Daily Telegraph sexes it up and tries to make it controversial." Also: Discworld "Luggage" prop on eBay for Alzheimer's.

So. Massive catch-up linkspam. Watched the Eliot Spitzer resignation press conference (well, "conference"; he didn't take any questions. Didn't actually seem contrite, either); nearly finished with the prostitution section of Mayhew's London Underworld. Watched American Idol and its 2000 mentions of Horton Hears a Who; did not think Jim Carrey had any dignity left to lose, but was proven wrong. Lexicon saga still ongoing. Also, my poor grandmother has come down with shingles, woe.

Scientology Seeks Restraining Order Against Anonymous. Just a note: the next wave of protests is scheduled for Saturday. Keep your eyes open and be safe, guys, if they're really trying to set you up the firebomb.

From Fandom Lounge and a few of y'all as well: "Melissa Kern, a very well-known organizer in the Lord of the Rings fandom in Atlanta has been diagnosed with Lou Gehrig's disease, or ALS. Her husband has started a petition to have her cast in the upcoming Hobbit movies as an extra, since the typical ALS survival rate beyond a few years is very low. Information can be found here. There are already 1,000 signatures on the petition, including some people very well-known in Tolkien fandom, such as Ted Nasmith, Daniel Falconer, and Peter S. Beagle. Thanks everyone for looking."

ETA: No new free (i.e., ad-free) LJ accounts. More in the 6A Cornfield post discussing the actual LJ News post, which neglected to mention this fact.

Moar linkspam )

Re: yesterday's Scientology raids: [livejournal.com profile] laughingacademy dropped me a link to [livejournal.com profile] deathboy's London writeup, in which he saw "500 people rick-rolling [i.e., playing Rick Astley's "Never Gonna Give You Up." Don't ask me] the UK Scientology head office. It was at this point I saw the corners of the cops' mouths twitch into smiles as they realised it was ok: we were from the internets." Among the pictures included: I love the little sign that reads "DOWN WITH THIS SORT OF THING." Also: Metroblogging Los Angeles: Anonymous vs. Scientology IRL showdown in LA (I dig the "I'm too poor to believe in Scientology" sign. Also, the suparrrr-stealthy Scieno "ice" truck); the Anonymous Worldwide Raids and Shenanigans pool on Flickr; It's not lupus thetans.

More linkspam )
