Marginalia

[coalescent]

In case anyone's missed it: Ursula le Guin's reaction to the Sci-Fi Channel Earthsea mini-series. I think I'll be avoiding it.

Other film news: Chris Weitz is no longer directing the His Dark Materials films. Yay! However, he is still writing them. Boo.

Also from everyone: fantastic pictures of the world's highest road bridge.

The Clarke-Bradbury Science Fiction Competition 2005 wants short stories or artwork that demonstrate why space elevators are cool.

Skeletons of cartoon characters. I can't remember where I saw this linked, but it's great. The Powerpuff girls are just scary.

NME has tracklisting and release date (1st March) for the new Doves album, Some Cities. You can also listen to the new single, which I think I've decided I rather like. [via chromewaves_net]

I feel obliged to link to this piece. It is about marginalia, after all...

And my resolution for this christmas: put some weight on in my cheeks. [photo by flyingsauce]

Well, I just wondered why it was bad news he was still writing the thing. The name's familiar, but that's it.

I got this.

I got cool and hottness. You got SF. It's like it knows us....

He did About A Boy, which ... didn't suck. Had a good soundtrack, anyway. He also did American Pie ...

Well, uh, this'll be a change for him. Thanks for the info.

A bit further down a soviet soldier snogging a cossack, so that was OK
