I'd like to take a moment to discuss with you a lawsuit about busking, and the ignorant editorial that followed ( Read more... )

I'd been meaning to see the classic version for ages, but a few weeks ago when I was looking for something fluffy and mindless to watch on Netflix instant viewing, the newer, Nicole Kidman version caught my eye.

I had a very strange dream last night that I was at some big event, just chilling back stage with the guys from Creature Feature. Then we went up stairs to get dressed, and Micah and I got yelled at because we hadn't checked in earlier, and were supposed to go on in a few minutes. Meanwhile, I'd left my costume on the other end of the convention ( Read more... )
