You like ships. You don't seem to be looking at the destinations. What you care about is the ships, and mine's the nicest.

Natter 60: Gone In 60 Seconds  

Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

Were the footprints the only CGI fireworks, or were all the fireworks CGI?

My understanding is that the footprints were CGI only on TV, because it was deemed too dangerous to be setting off fireworks that close to a bajillion news copters. (But that there really were footprint fireworks set off, just not "live" the way it was shown.)

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."

Okay, bummer. Where did you find that info? I bow to your google-fu.

And that's what I thought they were saying during the broadcast, because they said it was "literally cinematic" so I figured either it was "literal" abuse or that it wasn't live.

This is pretty cool--word clouds comparing McCain's blog to Obama's.

I heard it on Buzz Out Loud (http://reviews.cnet.com/buzz-out-loud-podcast/), so take it with a grain of salt. Or several.

“Not dead yet!”

What happens when you don't buy exclusive rights to photos for book covers.

Damn. I was really hoping it would be Twilight-related.

I’d be lying if I didn’t say that I miss them all tonight…

I actually really love the imagery and the design of the Twilight series. It's beautifully stark and spare. Definitely a case of not judging by cover, yes?

Commes de Garcons designs for H&M. Just... wow.

What a coincidence--I just sold a copy of Erotomania at the bookstore last night (I recognized that cover).

In local real estate news, boy, are prices dropping like a rock around here! I just did another search for 2+BR townhouses for under $175K, and not only found a few more than two weeks ago, but a few of the units that were in my initial search have dropped from $150-160K to the $125K range. Short sale pressures will do that, I guess.

I think they'll be selling these online, too, which is a first. However, you're going to get a lot of people snapping them up and then re-selling them on eBay for triple the price (happened with Cavalli - I think within an hour of the collection going live).

If Jilli needs, I'll probably be making a run down to our H&M on the day - I could pick up something for you, too. I fear no crazed fashionista.
