chomiji posts about a fanfiction survey that someone is using to write a thesis. Go take it!

Via movingfinger, at least it's accredited.

greenapple2004 links to another photo-essay from that book of cosplay portraits recently published. (I just bought a $4.85 copy from a used book seller on Amazon.com; we'll see how long it takes to get here.)



Last night's dreams: too fragmented to be really interesting. Except that Sephiroth was my brother. He and a few other random evil bishounen (not from anything, just generic evil bishounen) took off on some sort of spaceship that had an open plaza (yeah, I know). They did a good job of sitting around, brooding. That was probably the spaceship's propulsion, come to think of it BroodDrive. Anyway, there was something about going to an Italian restaurant that was closed, then I was on a train that seemed a lot like a school bus on the inside. There was a lot of transportation in this dream.

And then the cat woke me up at 5 and I never got back to sleep. :/

Serendipity

OK, yeah, this minor coincidence won't mean much to those of you not privy to the majority of posts on the fragments of a dream tag.* However, when I was walking to the small, scary elevator to go up to the staff break room, I spotted a book titled The Magic of Cranes on the quarto shelves. Drawing closer, as I currently have an interest in cranes for The Thing Wot I Am Not Writing, I noticed it was shelved next to math books. I figured it was therefore cranes as in engineering cranes, or possibly an obscure mathematical concept I was not familiar with, but on the basis that any book on whatever types of cranes titled The Magic Of... was worth looking at, I took it out.

Nope, no math, birds. It's not even mis-shelved: the book is mis-cataloged. Looking up the call number, I see that's cataloged as Mathematics, with a further sub-classification as Geometry, Trigonometry, Topology. (QA 696. It should be QL 696: Zoology -- Birds.)

I can't help but think that Someone is Telling Me Something. I notified the cataloging department, but also said I wanted to check it out and asked if I could bring it in to them after I read it. :D

ETA: They emailed back and said to bring it up and they'd get it back to me ASAP, so I took it up.





* The vast majority of you. The locked posts are full of story notes for The Thing Wot I Am Not Writing, and there's just a few people on it for idea-noodling purposes. We're not having Seekrit LJ Parties without you, I promise.

Via benchilada: ever wonder what Mario would look like if drawn in the Hellsing style? Brawl Goes Hellsing.

I'm browsing through foto_decadent and find pics from what has to be one of the most awesome fashion spreads ever, which is an over-the-top spread of exceptionally pink and fluffy clothing using elderly women as the models.
