Please Note That I Am Not Linking to Britney's Private Bits

My copy of the latest Locus arrived yesterday, with my ugly mug right there on the Deals/Announcements/Milestones page, right next to Ted's. Woo-hoo! I need a better picture, though.

Go here and light a candle; the evil pharmaceutical company will donate money to AIDS research when you do. Maybe that makes them non-evil? My head hurts.

Back in my college/lost years I kept Capcom in business pumping quarters into Street Fighter II. I think I finished with all the characters except one, but I can't remember which one. Dhalsim, maybe. Which is apropos, since Dhalsim is one of the stars of Street Fighter: The Later Years. Hilarious stuff, and more to come.

Flashback video: the Cowboy Junkies cover of "Sweet Jane." Fucking gorgeous. I'm going to go watch it again.

Insert Clever Title Here

I got on darkling1's case for his list, so I guess I have to provide my own:

List ten fictional characters you'd fool around with, and tag five people to pick up the meme.*

1. Clementine Kruczynski, "Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind"
2. Aeryn Sun, "Farscape"
3. Natalie Hurley, "Sports Night"
4. Kaylee Frye, "Firefly"
5. Lisa Miller, "NewsRadio"
6. Jen Yu, "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon"
7. Xena, "Xena: Warrior Princess"
8. Faith, "Buffy the Vampire Slayer" and "Angel"
9. Natalie, "Love Actually"
10. Hildy Johnson, "His Girl Friday"

Yes, pretty much all of them could kick my ass. Even, I suspect, the sweet ones. Maybe this goes back to the bubble or something. Fuck if I know.

*Tag yourself.
