-- They're canceling Guiding Light. Witness my complete lack of surprise. The stories lately, as much as I've seen of them, have sucked (with Reva's cancer-filled medical history and age, her uterus shouldn't have a fetus in it, it should look like the wasteland in the opening scenes of The Terminator), but what really made me never want to watch again was when they switched away from normal filming to the handheld camera bullshit.

-- Squeeze bacon!

-- I know I pick on Taylor Momsen's hair and addiction to microscopic skirts -- God knows she might as well wear them while she can -- but every time I see a picture of her, I wonder how much higher it would have to be for me to see her shamecave.

-- 6 Historical Villains Who Were Actually OK Guys

-- OH GOOD LORD. They're making the Anita Blake books into a TV show?! Nobody tells me anything. Hmph.

-- Oh, and guess who might be replacing Zac Efron in the Footloose remake? Chace Crawford. I still don't approve of remaking it, but I'd rather have him than Zac Efron. Zac Efron just strikes me as soooo wrong for that role.

-- Paul Bettany's starring in the adaptation of the comic book Priest, about "a warrior priest (Bettany) who turns against the church to track down a murderous band of vampires who have kidnapped his niece." Okay, Paul Bettany + that plot description = me, sexually gratified, at least for the moment.

-- My laptop has been acting really wonky so I'm restoring the damn thing from scratch. Thank God for my netbook, is all I'm saying.

-- I only wrote 11k words last month. Which, hey, is still about 2k more than I wrote the month before but I'm still way behind where I'm supposed to be right now. This month, I'm just going to try and get a thousand words a day. That's it. I should be able to do that much, even if I have to spread it out over two or three different stories. It's not like I have anything else to do, right? *sigh*

-- The internet is taking too damn long to give me the new episode of PR Canada, but I spoiled myself with Wikipedia anyway. OH THANK FUCK. I don't know what Jason was doing this episode, but it couldn't have been worse than the way Crazy Bug Eyes has behaved all damn season so far, so I'm glad it's Sunny-Jessica-Jason. As long as Sunny and Jessica were there, though, I'm happy.

-- Also, thank God for you, Bryan Fuller. THANK GOD FOR YOU. I miss Pushing Daisies like crazy (and now I crave pie), but the last couple of episodes have definitely been better than the rest of the season.

I personally want the Tauntaun sleeping bag. The organ-patterned interior's key.

Have you read Chris Sims's reviews of every Anita Blake comic book? Fantastic stuff:

(I would highly suggest ignoring today's content. Apr 1 changed the site into a Tarot fansite. Disturbing doesn't begin do describe...)

Amusingly enough, clicking on ThinkGeek's info for the Tauntaun sleeping bag today produced a note about how due to overwhelming response they're contacting LucasArts to ask if they can really make it. If not, people may have to try to sew their own (or find fabric-savvy people to commission them from).

that is the greatest thing ever
