In honor of the new Tim Burton’s Alice in Wonderland trailer, which has me writhing with excitement to see the film, I’ve compiled of six things which, while obviously not impossible, are at least highly unlikely, or usually awesome:
Chanel Iman rides an elephant while dressed as Minnie Mouse.
At HTML Giant, Justin Taylor has compiled a vast and impressive list of various editors, writers, poets, publishers, and other literary lights’ favorite books of 2009. Read it and add to your holiday gift list.
The L.A. Times reviews a full-of-blood-sex-horror-and-gore (well, okay, allegorically speaking) new translation of Charles Perrault’s The Complete Fairy Tales. My favorite fairy tales were Perrault’s when I was little. I can’t wait to pick this up and read them again.
Ohmygodsocoolwhydon’twehavethishere…oh. Right.
How we live now, in a lovely comic nutshell by XKCD.
Via Pharyngula, a long list of secular charities that need your dough.
That is all. Now I think I’ll go watch that trailer again.
