sunnyskywalkerI think I slept all weekend. I still feel a little behind on sleep. This would be so much easier if I drank caffeine... So, links for now.
Phoenix Requiem p. 44 Hi, Tonks! Okay, not really... but she's a Metamorphmagus, so it could be her. Maybe she created a replica of her body, jumped through a dimensional portal, and is living happily post-DH somewhere else. Right.
Demanding the Impossible, a conference on dystopia, utopia, and sf at Monash University Dec. 5-7 (via the Aqueduct Press blog). Any of the Australians here heard about what this is supposed to be like?
Descent into Irrelevancy4thofeleven on the Star Wars prequels: Palpatine's Empire would have risen just fine without Anakin, which makes Anakin's fall seem less powerful, even irrelevant to most of what happens in the prequels. I suppose it made a difference for Luke's and Leia's upbringing, but still. Anakin's fall could have been tied more strongly to the rise of the Empire, which would make it more of a big deal without relying on the originals to give it meaning!
Outrageous Advertisements of the Mid-Twentieth Century "Is it always illegal to kill a woman?" And no, self-defense isn't an issue here - she just missed getting the mail out on time. And apparently, if you buy coffee that isn't fresh, you shouldn't be surprised when your husband spanks you.
