More of Ashcroft's shenanigans. Now he's tried to demand laws can be secret.

A new Sandman library poster, this one from the New York libraries. I think I'll be buying one soon.

As always, you should be tending your bees. Of particular interest is the phase message from the Sleeping Princess. She's furthered my theories of her origins.

I was talking about this all day, but if you've somehow missed it, Batman invaded Buckingham Palace. Neil Gaiman has quite an interesting view on the whole thing: see it at his journal.

Ugh. My first short story for ENG 406 is finished and revised, so I'll be turning that in Tuesday. Does anyone have an opinion on ending a short story that's not in a conceivable series with an unresolved event?

Tom Stoppard: "Eternity's a terrible thought. I mean, where's it all going to end?" Just a little action from Quote of the Day.

And if you didn't already know, a group of people built a cinema in the abandoned Paris underground.

There are, at most, 15 of them. Their ages range from 19 to 42, their professions from nurse to window dresser, mason to film director. And in a cave beneath the streets of Paris, they built a subterranean cinema whose discovery this week sent the city's police into a frenzy.

They were showing Dark City and a Terry Gilliam movie. They're certainly carrying on interesting things.

At Boingboing you can read about a group trying to make the DMZ (that's DeMilitarized Zone) between North and South Korea a wildlife preserve. A great idea, if the poor critters don't blow themselves up on unexploded munitions...
