Today, it might get a little Harry Pottery. Be Warned.

The most awesomly bad SFF Cover in the world.
While I’m not sure I’ll read it, the book trailer is awesome:
Things you can do with books that don’t include reading.
Twilight tattoos… oh my…
Top 10 Geeky Things You Don’t Know About Romance Writers.
Now this sounds like a crime novel (and novelist) even I’d like to read. Plus:
Well, I say, I’ve just read all the cuttings and I’m tired of hearing about this Glasgow crime writer who’s always down-to-earth, feisty, funny, nice, and all the rest of it. She smiles, signs the book, and slides it back.
“To David,” it says. “F*** YOU! Denise Mina.”
Stuff you never think about: The poor people named Harry Potter.
Comics
Women in Fantasy Art: there’s some really interesting stuff there, especially drawings of men in the poses women get usually drawn in in comics.
Movies
If you haven’t yet, go watch the trailer for Tim Burton’s Alice in Wonderland.
Just listen to the fangirls scram. Literally:
Music
Politics
On Writing About Yourself or: what she said. Though I didn’t learn the hard way, like she did, I too learned that lesson.
In case you somehow missed the discussion: Justine Larbalestier on the cover of her book Liar and why it’s a problem that the girl on it is white. [John Green has some interesting things to say about this as well.]
Goes into a corner to cry silently. And then loudly.

Probably my new daily oracle:
Threadcake Competition. Threadless Shirt Design, beautiful cake.
Luke Surl Comics. Good stuff.
Das Rapduell ist kewl :P
PS:ahja, die Synchros: “Coldmirror und Harry Potter und ein Stein/der geheime P*keller und der Plastikpokal”
Also, ich hab mir die ersten Synchros gegeben, aber ich muss sagen, dasss sie nicht mein Fall sind… Schade.
Aber das Rapduell ist echt cool.
Es braucht ein bisschen, um witzig zu werden (bzw man braucht ein bisschen, um es witzig zu finden).
Ich weiß nicht. Ist, glaub ich, nicht meine Art Humor.
Oh Quirk Classics, you owe me both a new keyboard and a new chair, that was too too hilarious!
Here in Australia we’ve got a late-night news reporter called Harry Potter. The universe (and his station manager) obviously hate him, because who’d they send to report on the Half-Blood Prince premier? I kid you not…
Okay, that is just plain mean.
“This is Harry Potter, reporting from the premier of Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince.”
Poor guy!

I thought this post quite interesting. The way women are supposed to communicate (and most do) is what makes men say that she didn’t say “No” as she said “No” but didn’t want to appear aggressive.
Add to that the (still prevalent) notion that when a woman says “no”, she doesn’t actually mean it, she just says that so she won’t appear to be a slut and you make it pretty impossible for women to say no at all.
