Now get off your churr! I mean "Chair."

Are you, like me, a fan of Bob Dylan? Then you should probably not go here and watch the video. Seriously, don't. You've been warned. (Via fastfwd.)*

Drinks Friday with barthanderson, who was in town for a conference. Good talking about starting out as a novelist (you have your copy of The Patron Saint of Plagues, right?) and other things. That, and a visit last week from my pal Keith and his wife Stacy, Semi-Os meeting, and dinner last night with Marianne (tapas and martinis--mmm), makes this past week just about the most social I've been in months. And this weekend is WFC. When I get back from Austin I'll probably have to hide in a hole for a week.

megmccarron is worried about Lady Sovereign. I'm not, so much, but I don't want to miss the chance to mention her. Some English MCs get it twisted/ Start sayin' "cookie" 'stead of biscuit . . . Anyway.

Dead Girl. Mike Allred. Dr. Strange. Kraven the Hunter and Mysterio trying to come back from hell. Ant-Man, obsessed with cleaning the carpets of the underworld. Hemmorhoid jokes. 'Nuff said.

*Want context? Twyla Tharp is building a Broadway show around the songs of Bob Dylan. Frelling hell. I've been starting to develop an appreciation for musicals, but this . . . this . . .

[sallytuppence.livejournal.com]

So you did. I curse you anyway.

i'm a crumudgeon. I know.

I was going to correct your spelling, but I kind of like your version better.

Also, if you are truly a "crumudgeon" I want to know what you think of that video. The Bob Dylan one.

1. i hate you

2. that video absolutely, positively can't be for real. i mean, exercise balls? used by dancers with DOG COSTUMES?

[snurri.livejournal.com]

1. No, you LUV me.

2. Twyla Tharp. Also, note Rosie O'Donnell's scream of joy at the end.

Swedenborg was right. This is hell.

Also on 2.: I was thinking about this. Are the balls "rolling stones"? The dog people "dog[s] with a bone"? It makes it no less horrifying, but perhaps more explicable.
