del.icio.us, dark knight, deals, depeche mode, draught

1. Is it just me or does anyone else take a perverse pleasure in constant painstaking refinement of the organisation of their del.icio.us links?

2. The Dark Knight is excellent, though mostly about as much fun as being stabbed in the face. The female characters once again get short shrift and I was so very happy to find Origin Story, a fanfic by minim_calibre that she'd written in response to Jim Gordon's daughter (future BATGIRL for goodness sake) barely getting a look-in. Also, I like to imagine the Joker attends these:

3. The following is an annotated extract from an Amazon email I got the other day (I am probably far more amused by its unintentional accuracy than is strictly necessary):
It's funny because it's true

(Obviously Dean SHOULD have sold his soul on Demon eBay, that's been established (at least in fic), but failing that, perhaps Damnazon Marketplace?)

4. Depeche Mode are made of win covered in awesomesauce. Never Let Me Down Again is an entirely perfect slice of '80s new romantic/synthpop/electronica/wossname, and it's totally about Dean and Sam Winchester. Oh yes it is.

5. Why don't they sell ginger beer on draught in pubs? It's much nicer than that hop-based stuff.

That's it. I'm done.

I have found Supernatural/A Series of Unfortunate Events crossover fanfiction!

MY LIFE IS NOW COMPLETE.

Bloody Pirates!

Well, the trailer for Pirates of the Caribbean 3 is up.

Whuh?

I'd like to offer some sort of insightful commentary here but I'm currently too busy making a high-pitched squealing noise not unlike that of a kettle mid-boil.

It's sad really, the depths of fangirlishness this trilogy reduces me to. I am putty in its gunpowdery, barnacle-encrusted hands and I completely want to be Elizabeth Swann when I grow up.

Damn you, Bruckheimer! Can't you just let me have my dignity?

Forgotten things

Bit late for Halloween, but if you're still in the mood for something spooky, you could do a lot worse than check out the hospital hopscotch section at darkpassage.com for explorations of abandoned asylums. Mainly photographs, with a little bit of commentary, it's amazing how creepy the sight of blistered paint and bird shit and discarded wheelchairs can be. Not to mention shots of mouldering underground service tunnels stretching off into utter undisturbed darkness.

I highly advise you to do as I did and view them late at night when you're alone in the house
