YOU CAN'T TRIPLE-STAMP A DOUBLE STAMP!

Interesting article/interview on/with Dean Koontz here. He seems to be rather neurotic which, as bookslut points out, should not really be a surprise. Apparently he brushes his dog (a Golden? Would be appropriate!) every day for almost an hour a day. But it makes me happy that his wife is seems similarly neurotic. Good on them for finding each other. I haven't read all that he's written by a long shot. Watchers, though, is one of my all-time favourite books, one of the most genuinely scary things I've ever read, and Einstein has got to be one of the best characters ever created. I love him so much! Intensity, also by Koontz, is also excellent; it's a book I think about quite often, actually. I try to adopt the antagonist's philosophy regarding pain whenever I stub my toe or something :-D

It seems like Warner Brothers is "reinventing" Bugs & Co again. My first reaction is "Nooooooooooooooo!" screamed dramatically and in slow motion because my childhood! But there is a good reaction to it here (and there are more pictures of the horrible, horrible new versions there) which basically says WB has done this to us tons of times and it should just be ignored so as to not encourage them. But my overwhelming experience with these characters is the original cartoons (I can barely remember Space Jam) and that along with the WB's laziness means that I still feel very resentful about this. I mean, wasn;t the whole charming POINT to those cartoons was that all the charaters were fluffy and adorable and cute and totally, totally evil?

OK, this is everywhere by now, but in case you missed it, the new Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy trailer is up!!!!1111!!!. I am so excited111!! I really think this will be an awesome addition to the already extensive HHGG canon.

I spent a truely hideous amount of money on new computer parts today. New CPU, RAM and motherboard. And they're not even that state-of-the-art, especially when you think of the built-in obsolesence thing. But I don't need that much out of my computer! I do however, like it to, you know, BOOT UP occasionally so I am looking forward to reassembling it and seeing how it goes. I think I'll give Linux yet another try; my dad's got a copy of Suse 9.1 and Ubuntu which has an awesome philosophy behind it.
