Now that I'm doing an MA in cultural studies, it's happening all over again. Fortunately, I already have a job, so people assume that I secretly want to teach.

I don't seem likely to get tired of Lovecraftian humor any time soon, judging by how much that flowchart made me chuckle. Re: <I>Cars</I>, I still like the explanation one of my friends had: that the movie is actually an alternate-universe sequel to <I>Maximum Overdrive</I>, in which the vehicles won. Having once had to deal -- long-distance, fortunately -- with an infestation of ladybugs in a radio telescope, I am sympathetic to CERN's bird-related problems. And of those most-lied-about movies, I've only seen <I>It's a Wonderful Life</I> and <I>Gone with the Wind</I>. Well, not even all of <I>Gone with the Wind</I>. Family members were watching it, and I'd wander in, watch for twenty minutes or so, wander off, come back half an hour later and watch some more... Oddly, I don't actually feel like I missed anything. A particularly choice collection of links this time, I think!
