I just saw this:

And I love it. I've watched it six times and I'll be singing 'boom-dee-ata' for awhile.

In other news:

Once upon a time, many years ago, I got a collection of fantasy and horror short stories from the library. In that collection were two stories that I completely loved. One was by Tanith Lee and called "Bite-Me-Not or, Fleur de Feu". The other was "The Erl-King" but it wasn't an author I knew, and I forgot it. I did xerox copies of both stories, but over the years I lost pages here and there.

Imagine my glee when I ordered "The Bloody Chamber" by Angela Carter for the retelling of the Bluebeard story, and "The Erl-King" was one of the other short stories there. I was just goofy with book-geekishness. Still am! Goodness from amazon. Happy sighs.

Hilarity!

Just came back from visiting my twin nieces and their parents. The girls are only a couple months from being two and really like to say "No!" Even funnier than that is how they also will say "We are Dalek!" and "Exterminate!" at random.

I cracked up every time. Think how cute it would be to dress em up as salt and pepper shakers for Halloween! Not everyone would get it, but enough would to be worth it.
