Friday Ephemeraren’t
I’m still supposedly away – you can see how bad I am at it – and so you’re getting another opportunity to throw together your own pile of links and oddities in the comments. I’ll set the ball rolling with a D-list celebrity’s approach to public relations; Apollo 11 in real-time; this, via Damian; a game called Dissembler, which is trickier than it may seem; and some miniature sculptures made of dandelion seeds.
Oh, and how to peel garlic.
*harrumph*. No autographed copy for YOU! And it’s not too late to write in a Strong Independent Woman (TM) and have her pummel you severely about the head and shoulders, even though she’ll only weigh 95 lb dripping wet and have a waiflike fashion-model figure.
Now I gotta change my name. Well, I had been using it for several years so it was probably overdue anyway. I shall use the name bestowed upon me by the distinguished proprietor of another site.
Does anybody remember Nerise, the SIW from Deep Space Nine? I liked the character, she had good morals and strong religious faith, but she was played by a typical waiflike actress and her fight scenes were hysterical, especially since the actress liked to pause dramatically before decking a villain—and to make matters worse the villains were usually played by tall, admirably muscular actors. Nerise should have been played by a big old girl like the ones who were in the Conan movies.
@LCoL
Would you be so kind as to get a bit of a shift on with the non-fiction? The good lady wife is due in two and a half weeks.
No pressure.
Congratulations! I shall expedite accordingly!
