Catching up with links

I've been away in London for the past week, neglecting my internetting, and have discovered all sorts of fantastic things to which to link upon my return.

First up, Abigail Nussbaum's further (spoilery) thoughts on Inception. Then we've got an interview in Honi Soit (my own old university's student paper) with Dichen Lachman.

bebopsamurai has a great five-part review/critique of The Last Airbender which is well worth reading. Part 1 is here.

I shall clearly have to start reading Tamora Pierce's LJ. Here's a post she wrote about writing female characters.

Great post on ABC Unleashed about the whole Wikileaks phenomenon. It's been bothering me that most of the newspapers discussing the revelation of the horrific facts about the Afghanistan war have not even bothered to mention that all this was done through Wikileaks. It's kind of relevant, you know?

Here's papersky on Jonathan Strange and Mr Norrell.

This is exactly what being a Whedon fan feels like. (Via Tiger Beatdown.)

This is me on the ABC Bookshow blog talking about 'updating' Enid Blyton's books.

And that's it for today. I'm going to sit at home drinking lemon, honey and ginger drink and try to beat this awful cold I seem to have picked up.

Yay! New house, new room!

It's taken me ages to get photos up of my new room, and it's probably a little bit narcissistic to post them, anyway, but I'm so ridiculously happy to be living in this house that I couldn't resist.

That's the room from three different angles. Sorry the last one's so dark, but it's the wrong time of day for sunlight. In the afternoon I get flooded with light.

It's a lot smaller than my last room, but it's in a house with people I like and choose to live with, and that counts for a lot more than floor space.
