(Best. Christmas wreath. Ever.)
So we watched movies again--I can't remember what the first one was (maybe it was just a TV show? No, I remember, it was Monster House. God, I can't wait to get my nice B-complex vitamins tomorrow), but then we watched Hot Fuzz, which Sister Girl ended up not being very interested in. I think it's because--by her own admission--she didn't really know the buddy-cop action-movie clichés well enough to get most of the jokes, which weren't even jokes with punchlines per se, just all the action-movie clichés put in the context of a sleepy English village. Although I don't think she got "Forget it, Nick... it's Sandford," either. Me, I spent most of the movie trying not to howl with laughter since she didn't seem to be into it. "FOR THE GREATER GOOOOOOOD. CRUSTY JUGGLERRRRRRRRS..."
("An early draft of the script included a love interest for Nicholas named Victoria. She was cut from later drafts, but her dialog was given to Danny, often without any changes." I am so incredibly not surprised by this. Particularly about the time Danny takes Nicholas home to watch movies. "Uh... are they going to start making out now?")
Oh, and quick PSA from
Update: It was a Wine Opener Thing.
Also, wow: Barak Berkowitz has stepped down as Six Apart Chairman and CEO. Related to Strikethrough '07 (Parts 1 and 2)? I don't know. If it was related to Strikethrough, though, I'd guess it was because the whole thing was botched all around and got way more tech-blog media attention than the company wanted, not because someone at the company feels bad for fandom or anything.
Linkspam will be back in a day or so, by the way. At the moment I'm just trying to take a couple of days off, write a little more, and catch up on things.
