As a passing note as to how cluttered Nellie’s house was? Her daughter hired a cleaning crew. They’ve brought the back of a semi truck to cart things off, with extra dumpsters. They’ve been working almost non-stop (they took a break on Sunday afternoon) since Friday. They’ve hauled that thing away six times to the dump and back, and they’ve only made it into the living room. They get here at 7 AM every morning, and they don’t stop until 6 PM.

8 Obscure Yet Great British Shows.

The 12 Greatest Moments From Justice League Unlimited. All the moments I could think of managed to make the list.

Over at The Nerdy Bird, someone’s going to have a Back to the Future themed 30th birthday party. A stretch limo that looks like the DeLorean is part of this.

Weep for humanity--behold Tent City. I'm not interested in following Twilight, but I had to stop and stare when I saw this. Follow the link to the post at [community profile] ohnotheydidnt for more pictures. I think the Twilight fans managed to beat all other fandoms for level of obsession. Mostly because I believe they were camped out far longer than people camped out for The Phantom Menace.

And if I understand right, this was only to see the stars of the movie walk by? And the signs. The horribly spelled signs. I’ve also seen the pictures of people under Twilight-themed blankets while waiting. Besides any other comment I could possibly make, isn’t it too hot outside? It’s hit 110 degrees this week where I am, but I don’t know about L.A.
