In Two Hours Everybody In the Western Hemisphere Jump Really High

[snurri]

If you're not reading FreakAngels, Warren Ellis and Paul Duffield's new weekly webcomic, you should start. The first installment was too sketchy to make any sort of judgment by, the second felt a little too familiar, but today's has managed to hook me in a very quiet sort of way. See if you feel the same.

This is kind of cool: my photograph of the Hideout, that most beloved of Chicago music clubs, has been selected for use in something called Schmap!, an online guide to the city. Since I've been on Flickr I've had people ask to use photos for open-source journalism stuff, and now this. No, I'm not making money off of any of it, but then my photographs aren't that good. I just think it's cool, living in the future.

Today is Leap Day, and yet we are not all out on the streets, having the biggest party since the last Leap Day four years ago. THIS IS UNACCEPTABLE. We ought to be having a bissextus festival!

Would the Leap King and Queen be selected for their jumping ability?

[snurri.livejournal.com]

No; they will be selected for their good looks, and their inability to count higher than four.

[tacithydra.livejournal.com]

Also for being slow runners, I would hope.

I thought smorgasbord and ritual killing were also the old standbys.

No one likes a quibbler.

[mrissa.livejournal.com]

Actually, I do.

I mean, not to quibble or anything.

Even though I like that.

[snurri.livejournal.com]

You know, today's Queen hasn't yet been selected . . .

[mrissa.livejournal.com]

Counting higher than four is, alas for you, a required skill among physics majors.

[snurri.livejournal.com]

Curse you, Lingen! I shall have my revenge!

[mrissa.livejournal.com]

I will add that next time I'm going back and forth with matociquala on her lj about circumstances in which you are cute.

"Awwww! He's so cute when he's pwotting wevenge!"

I don't know. Freak Angels still looks like shit to me.

[snurri.livejournal.com]

I'm not sure I understand your position. Could you explain it more clearly?

[justinhowe.livejournal.com]

Kaka.

The Hideout! That's where we saw Kelly Hogan and the Wooden Leg.

Good pic.

[snurri.livejournal.com]

It is! That was a great show.
