Odd Place Names: Meat Camp, NC

An interesting site that I've missed until today: EyeWitness, "history through the eyes of those who lived it." I haven't had a lot of time to explore it yet and only read of a few events in which I have a particular interest: The San Francisco Earthquake, 1906, The British Burn Washington, DC, 1814, The Destruction of Pompeii, 79 AD, and Doomed Expedition to the South Pole, 1912.

At the bottom of this page is an audio clip of a very cranky Orson Welles during a voiceover recording session that wasn't going well.

He doesn't sound much like The Brain (except for that "Yes!" part about one minute in). Compare to The Brain's voiceover in his commercial for his new fragrance, Subjugation.

Oh, and wasn't last night's Angel great? I LOVED it! The season is building up a lot of excitement and tension, and now I can hardly wait for Wednesdays.

Is Wes getting hotter with each episode?

One episode from each Joss series nominated for a Hugo in the same category (plus two Enterprise eps I'm not concerned with):

Nominations for the Best Dramatic Presentation, Short Form Category:

Buffy the Vampire Slayer, "Conversations With Dead People"
Firefly, "Serenity"
Angel, "Waiting in the Wings"


Do they ever have three-way ties, 'cause I can't pick just one (though I am leaning toward "Serenity," but I think that has more to do with everything that happened to the series and the general feeling of FOX FUCKING SUCKS that I still have).

Some people need to be thoroughly flogged.

Clock spider.

Spiders don't really bother me, but if I saw this one, I'd probably freak and wet myself.
