Some crazy fucker has turned Buffy’s Once More With Feeling into a Lord of the Rings Musical. And I mean “fucker” in the nicest way because it’s just marvelous and wonderful and completely bonkers idea. And I say this without being a huge Tolkien fan. I don’t like the books and the movies are nice and so but nothing more. So let us all hear a loud cheer for crazy people. Hurrah! Just go and read the redone lyrics to “Walk through the fire” already. Gosh. Wow.

Here is the time-honoured tradition of the Andersson household, the Christmas Ficus (plastic):

I found a link from Hatch Magazine‘s bloglinks. I’ve never seen before in my life. So I probed around a bit to see what I could find.

Founded in July 2003 and officially launched in October 2003, Hatch is a magazine and forum to discuss real life issues related to careers, shelter, money, education, health, culture and beyond. Issues which many people in their 20s and 30s are facing.

And all I can think of is why did they link to me? While I do try to get educated, it is in an area that has not much real-life application, and as for career, money, health, shelter? What? So I guess it must be because of I write about the important stuff such as books, comics, tv, movies, music, photography and the silly life of a social (sort of) recluse (it’s hard to be that properly when sharing a house with three other people).

This phrase, also from their aboot-page:

From graduating college and forging a career path, to finding an apartment or house, to getting engaged, married or starting a family — and all that comes in between — we are all hatching.

I don’t want to deal with any of those issues. They’re... No.

But it’s not at all humbling to appear on the same link-list as Dooce, Zulkey, psionic and Loobylu. They write far better then I do, so this is more likely to give me megalomania and an attack of grandeur delusions of destined greatness. It also gave me an opportunity to just ramble along in a thinly disguised link-entry.

(How the magazine is? Don’t know. Didn’t probe the articles. Perhaps I should have.)

(Update 18/12 11:56 — it turns out they had seen me a mail as well earlier but it was caught in the spam-filter. I think I have to check the whole thing out now.)
