• Sun, 12:54: So in the middle of the night @horseyparalegal has a tooth break. Now we're at the dentist and she's having a root canal.
• Sun, 12:55: Catching up on my art tumblogs via the wifi at the Burger King next to the dentist office.
• Sun, 13:14: May run out of laptop battery. Wasn't expecting to be at the dentist's this long.
• Sun, 14:18: Reading the Highlights magazine. Where are Goofus and Gallant? They grow up?

• Sun, 22:17: #AKOTAS update: behind the times. http://t.co/f2MWkhDejI #webcomics #kingarthur
• Mon, 05:46: #ManOfSteel I noticed what Mark Waid noticed. I kept expecting a moment like we had in 1981 which never came. Unless that was it at the end.
• Mon, 05:48: #ManOfSteel Sometimes I felt it was designed to be played side by side with Donner's for contrast, particularly for Jonathan Kent.
• Mon, 05:50: #ManOfSteel I think this take on Jonathan Kent suffered for not being more explicitly a reaction to the post-9/11 world.
• Mon, 09:31: A cannon is a weapon. A canon is a list of works agreed to meet given criteria by the works' scholars. Neither applies to screen fandoms.

• Mon, 11:56: I did like #ManOfSteel while I was watching it, but people who hate it keep pointing out things that did bother me even while I watched.

<3 We're still behind on the colors, because Phil's been finishing up a pile of work which has made him get the art to Cheyenne later than we'd like. Especially this weekend, since Cheyenne actually had plans! As in that whole "Life" thing. It's weird, I know, but somebody's got to do it. We'll get the colors back ASAP.--Kaja <3

We have put up Iain M Banks Guest of Honour Interview conducted by Jane Killick at the Odyssey 2010 Eastercon. This hasn't been previously available but we felt this could be something we could do to remember him with.

Please feel free to share.
