quick non sequiturs

-Mock Turtle Soup comments on the movie trailer for A Series of Unfortunate Events. (Watch the trailer here.)

-"One reviewer claims Deneuve's accounts of missing a flight, buying stockings, and commenting on fellow commuters 'make Marilyn Monroe look like an intellectual.'" The cinetrix rounds up critical responses to Catherine Deneuve's newly published diary, L'Ombre de Moi-Meme (In the Shadow of Myself).

-Upload a picture of yourself, and the Star Estimator will tell you the celebrities you most closely resemble. (Unfortunately, it doesn't seem to work on a Mac, which is what I have. Does anyone w/ a PC want to indulge me?)

-"[SingleRepublican.com] initially had a line for one's astrological sign, but dropped it after a member wrote in to say it wasn't a 'Republican thing.'" The Boston Globe looks at a new crop of political dating sites.

-"A creative writing class (of all places) is the setting of New York's hot political drama of the moment, 'Mrs. Farnsworth.'" It's rare, outside of amusement parks, for a line to bring me past so many warning signs.

-This news aggregator looks much better than NetNewsWire. It includes a built-in search feature, colored labels, and "a built-in browser that eases comment-making by loading Web pages - complete with Safari's cookies - directly within itself."

-The Writings on the Stall: I wonder if we react to our body's work being lost to the sewers by smearing shitty poetry all over restroom walls.

-It's nice to know that my rot-scented, ash-carpeted apartment productively dismantles not only my mental health but conventional gender roles.

-Online quizzes are getting increasingly meta. So, why not take the quiz that determines, what kind of quiz-taker are you?
