You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.
Did anyone watch Leverage last night? I want Hardison to be my new best friend, but they really need to stop having Nathan doing the accent thing. It is just not Hutton's forte.

Ok, 2009 just rickrolled me. Et tu, 2009?

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

I'm investigating the possibility of going straight on to 2010 and skipping the nasty bits where I search for a job, get a job, and break in a new job.

My adult brain is pretty sure this is the worst idea in the history of EVAR, but my inner 10 ear-old fangirl won't stop squeeing:
‘Phantom of the Opera’ sequel "Love Never Dies" due in 2009:
The follow-up to “Phantom,” which debuted in 1986 with Michael Crawford in the lead role, will take place a decade after the original, with the story set on Brooklyn’s Coney Island.
“It was the place,” Lloyd Webber said. “Even Freud went because it was so extraordinary … people who were freaks and oddities were drawn towards it because it was a place where they could be themselves.”
PHANTOM. On CONEY FREAKING ISLAND! O.M.G. It's going to suuuuuuuuuuuuuuck

Why does this give me a dread feeling that he's going to put Sarah Brightman back into the Christine role, even though she's waaaaaaaaay past her "sell by" date?

Happy New Year, Antipodestas!
I come with a question for the Hive Mind. Does anyone know of a good resource on Seth Thomas clocks? Ideally 8-day clocks from 1879-1881. I just got a clock that's been in the family for a while, and now I'm kind of curious about its provenance. I've found the official Seth Thomas Clock site and a few sites with a general overview of the company's history, but I'm kind of hoping for a site or forum for antique clock obsessives, the sort who would spend 40 posts debating the font used in the Roman numerals on the clock face.
