Fannish Items of Interest

10 Nerd Actors Who Ventured Into Music…And Shouldn’t Have. Am I the only one that actually liked The Ballad of Bilbo Baggins? Not because it was good, just because of the weirdness of it all.

A woman sold two “souls” inside blue-tinted holy water. The price? $1983. The comments are great. If you can’t see them all, scroll to the bottom and hit Show All Discussions, and Expand All Replies.

There’s news on the remake of La Femme Nikita. Apparently, Maggie Q will not be in the starring role after all. The new Nikita is going to be played by Lyndsy Fonseca—the girl from How I Met Your Mother and a season of Desperate Housewives. If you click the link, beware of the Doctor Who spoilers.

Riverworld will debut in a four-hour block on April 18th. The only reason I might be interested in watching this is for Peter Wingfield. With the one made back in 2003, the only reason I watched even a little of it was for the late Kevin Smith.

By the way, I’m about to go over and order Chicks Dig Time Lords from Who North America. While I’m at the site, are there any Ninth or Tenth Doctor books people would recommend? I already have Only Human, Peacemaker, and The Doctor Trap--that last one I haven’t read. I was also going to get A Writer’s Tale while I was there, but they don’t have the reprint with the extra chapter. Is Forever Autumn worth getting? Which of the ones with Donna or Martha in them are good?

Writer's Block: Categorically Speaking

[Error: unknown template qotd]

1. Fanfic, since I'm working on the dark_fest story, and waiting to find out what I'll be writing for help_chile.
2. x_journal
3. Doctor Who.
4. I'm having myself a marathon of The Nostalgia Critic videos, since I recently discovered those. So nostalgia might go in this slot. Just finished watching his review of both Short Circuit movies.
5. Life, the universe, and everything. Partly remembering to set the clocks forward an hour, partly being a geek with references nobody except my friends list will get, which is always nice.
