But He Didn't Release a Bosom

Today I am going to the Fantasy Matters Conference, a for reals academic-type gathering of people what wants to talk about weird fiction, which is cool. I will be reading with many of my peeps there this afternoon and hanging out much of the rest of the weekend. Just in case you're going to be there.

In the spirit of still-not-having-figured-out-the-bus-routes-to-the-U, just some quick links today:

- Elyse Sewell posts about the perils of back-translating "Arrested Development" from the Chinese. I want the phrase which titles this post to become an Internet meme equal in magnitude to "Do Not Want."

- Cowbell Hero! I have never played the real game, and still this made me laugh.

- Daft Punk Bodysyncing. That these ladies are scantily clad is parallel to the point. This one starts out slow and becomes gradually more awesome.

- EDIT: LATE-BREAKING: merylinabarrel points to this video of Xeni from BoingBoingTV talking to the great John Hodgman. God that man makes me laugh.

Oh, and I got to see the Joe Strummer documentary The Future Is Unwritten last night, thanks to janradder, and it was very much worthwhile. Made me want to go out and create stuff. Guess that's what I'll do.
