blognewsarama has this strange moment from the Thanksgiving Day parade in 1989. Most of the Marvel characters of the era dance around a float, as someone sings I Need A Hero. I think I finally figured out why Emma Frost (Deborah Norville mistakes her for Wonder Woman—hard mistake to make, since they don’t look anything alike) is there at all. Pryde of the X-Men aired in September of that same year, so maybe they were trying to plug that? I’m really reaching here, but that’s all I can come up with.

ETA: As of 4 PM, I believe I have finished my Yuletide fanfic. 3869 words in total. I have a title. I've located the two continuity errors I accidentally made, and fixed them. I've done a quick spell check. I have it on external hard drive and on this computer, just in case anything happens. I'll look over it again tomorrow, do whatever I need to do, and then begin the process of sending it on to a beta reader.

What horror fans should be thankful for.

The people behind the Paducah Zombie Walk uploaded their footage to Youtube. If anyone is interested, you can watch it here. Watch until the very end to get a good look at Zombie Bruce Campbell, complete with Boomstick on his back, and chainsaw on his hand.

Obscurus Lupa has posted the first part of a three part video review of She-Wolf of London here. This just makes me want to track down the whole series in time for next year’s Yuletide even more. It looks delightfully cheesy these days. As Obscurus Lupa said, it also looks as though Ian could have been the prototype for Giles.

This morning, the temperature was around 70 degrees. A thunderstorm passed through, and it went down to 42 degrees. It dropped that much in less than 30 minutes. It should drop a bit more by tonight.

Meanwhile, I see that I managed to miss the anniversary of my LJ. As of November 10th, I have been on LJ for 7 years.

Yuletide related: I seem to have pretty much all of my fanfic plotted out, and know how almost all of it should go, moment by moment. I downloaded the source material and I'll watch that in the next few minutes, just to make sure I have everyone's voices right. I'll get to work on the actual fanfic tomorrow. I've written snippets as the ideas come, and I just need to work it all together.

ETA: Given the character I'm focusing on has a bit of a tendency to free associate, he's probably going to be all over the map. That helps!
