Apr. 24th, 2010 10:21 pmPlanet 51 is an hour and a half of geeky fun. :-D I love it when movies are self-aware in a good way.

I also saw How to Train Your Dragon today and I'm amused that the two main adult characters are voiced by Gerard Butler and Craig Ferguson. And I love that Hiccup is left-handed.

I'm reading a fic and I'm not completely sure why I'm still reading it. The plot's fairly solid, so it's not that. But I'm fairly certain that the author isn't a native English speaker by some of the words chosen (not that they were necessarily wrong, just not the ones that a native speaker would pick first), as well as uses too many exclamation points and ellipses (which, IMO, when you're writing dialogue for Eliot and Nathan and trying to be dramatic or have them struggle to say something, doesn't work). The author's Hardison voice/patter is good, though, but I think he's the only one who "sounds right".

Day 24 - A song that you want to play at your funeral
"I'll Fly Away". This version, which is sung by Jars of Clay and Sarah Kelly, is the closest I've found to the the way I learned it (which is the first few lines are slow, then the tempo picks up, and it's faster than this song).
( The list )
