the scribe's stele

I kinda wish that the witching hour was not my writing time; 3am's probably _not_ the best time to finish up.

That said, anyone have any comments on the quality of the Sitsobek project storytelling?

And no, that is not a rhetorical question. *lifts eyebrow*

…the hippo was one of the three most feared animals in ancient Egypt.

New Clash of the Titans trailer out. Not feeling the love, I have to say. But one bit got a mini-chuckle:

Audio: One day, someone's got to make a stand…
Visual: Man standing… in front of Medusa.


See, boys and girls? That's what happens when you make a stand.

BTB, I wonder if Bubo made it into this version. I noticed the scorpions and the Graeae, but no wonky pseudo-mechanical owl. And imho, he was the best actor in the entire movie.

But what's-his-name still looks as clueless as ever.

…Nov. 14 has been declared Leonard Nimoy Day in Boston.

No, seriously.

Really.

If I'd made it up, it'd probably be the Man in Black/Andre the Giant Day. Or maybe the Impressive Clergyman Day. :-P And for the entire country.

But no, it's Mr. I-Am-(Not)-Spock Day.

Cheers, Man with Sets of Pointy Ears.


(And no, I did not intend to rhyme. I know better.)

Indian hijra ("a catch-all term for South Asia’s eunuch, transgender, transvestite and third gender communities") have started a marriage website, hoping to bring their community back to the position it held before Victorian nonsense lead to their ostracism.

You know, I'm used to Mum's cleaning fits; it's why I make sure there are dishes in the sink when she comes. (Not that that's a hard thing to do. ^_^;)

Still, I wish she wouldn't start one at midnight. At the least, I'd like to go out whilst the scent of cleaners dissipates.

Does it strike anyone else as somewhat surreal that Amano Yoshitaka (Vampire Hunter D, Final Fantasy), revered by some as a manga-art god, is doing a 3-D film about the secret life of vegetables?

What type of Fae are you?

I need to stop working on these things @ 2/3 in the morning. Then again, I probably write my best prose about now… Still, I'd like sleep, too…
