Here's the reslut...
I finished watching Part II and Part III1 of Children of Dune last night (in the last of four one-hour segments). I've actually been very busy with work, but watching Fremen princesses trask everything in sight with crysknives is always good fun, as
yodge can testify.Somehow
masteralida triggered my realization that miajesbar and I are preincarnations of the Atreides twins. Stranger things have happened, I suppose, but at any rate, I really have not been able to slow down or stop running since!:waits for the Caffeine Mentat Litany:
I have been going through and updating this past week's journal entries with my music (anyone using Semagic and the like to monitor their friends lists: je m'excuse!). Here are a few highlights, mostly from the comments:
- The 2004 Webby People's Voice Awards - wherein your favorite sites (LiveJournal, Wikipedia, and Google are nominated, along with other popular ones such as HowStuffWorks amd Tolerance.org); cast your votes today!
- Homeomorphisms are love [Fri 23 Apr 2004] - wherein banazir is tempted to make a coruscating Mobius band .gif of some kind
