3:27AM - This troper is quite confused
TV Tropes, my favorite internet crack den, looks like it was hacked.
WTF, Internet? I think this is a Rape the Dog moment.
Edit: Taking out the actual link in case it is still hacked and lord knows what malware they stuck in it (I'm on a Mac using Firefox, but I thought I'd be responsible-like).
8:58AM - DON'T CROSS THE STREAMS, DAMMIT.
'Twilight' actor open to 'Doctor Who' role
Now. I realise we are getting into the silly season of bets-placing and odds-making and random-ass rumours and bullshit, and this bit in particular is especially silly and shouldn't be taken seriously. That being acknowledged, all I have to say about this is OH FOR THE LOVE OF RASSILON NO.
I mean, it's not as if the Who fandom isn't already insane enough as it is. Cross-pollinating with Twilight would destroy us all.
ETA: Although I admit, I'm charmed by the fact that RPattz not only watched the show, but asked Sylvester McCoy for his autograph.
9:31AM - HBO orders fantasy pilot 'Thrones'
"HBO has given a pilot order to fantasy project "Game of Thrones."
The program is based on George R.R. Martin’s bestselling series of novels "A Song of Fire & Ice" and executive produced by David Benioff ("Troy"), D.B. Weiss ("Halo") and Guymon Casady ("Hope & Faith"). The title “Game of Thrones” is from the first novel in the series.
If greenlit, “Thrones” would represent the rarest of TV genres: a full-fledged fantasy series."
From here.
Personally, I'm torn between being really apprehensive and excited.
9:15PM - Protest this weekend - poster ideas?
The protest against Prop. 8 this weekend is nearly upon us, and we're going to need a lot of signs. I thereby dedicate this post to protest sign ideas - be they witty, cutting, or whatever. I'm not feeling terribly creative so I know I could use some help!
Post 'em in the comments.
To get us started, here's one I copied: "Love is soooo gay!"
(I wish I could find the picture, it was fantastic)
Also, the Cincinnati protest is going to be extra-rocking because Margaret Cho (who's in town for a show that night) will be joining in. Fuck yeah!
ETA: A blog with some other peoples' ideas
