Things

1. I have been traveling a lot the last few days, and so have not been checking my work/school email (which is a separate account from my fandom/friends email). Also, I have not been checking it because, you know, avoidance. But now I have finally done so and there are two hundred emails to read and deal with, ARGH.

2. Yuletide assignments! Yay! Mine is good; it will be easy to come up with something, at least, though I think I might have trouble coming up with something particularly inspired. I'm still waiting for my assignment to post a Dear Santa letter, though, so maybe I will have more thoughts after I read that.

3. National Geographic Photography Contest 2010. Some of these pictures are amazing; I particularly like the one of lightening striking the Statue of Liberty.

4. This blog, which collects images from Google Maps Street View, is completely fascinating. There's everything from cars accidents to crimes in progress to people posing.

5. What the Bible Got Wrong: awesome infographic of contradictions in the Bible.

6. Did you know Swordspoint fandom now has a high school AU story? I LOVE CHEESY HIGH SCHOOL AUS. Riverside High by Snow. LOOOOOVE.

Wow. You bring all the great links to the yard.

And man, I really do need to get to Swordspoint in my reading stack.

Hee, thanks.

AND YES. YOU DO.

HIGH SCHOOL AUS FTW. Also, I just reread Swordspoint because it was on y'all's bookshelf! GOOD TIMES.

WHY ARE THEY SO AWESOME? They are my favorite of the cracky AU genre; I much prefer them to band AUs, or spaceships, or wingfic, or Ancient Rome, or anything else.

And ha! We have way too many copies hanging around the apartment.

My daughter and I were very impressed by the thunderstorm pic at that National Geographic selection. Well, lots of them, really.

That infographic is super cool.

Glad you both liked! I really loved all the photos.
