For What it's Worth.

10 British Soldiers killed this so far this month in Afghanistan

I think by the headline, there were also five Americans killed. This is the Real Deal.

Follow-up to previous post. Video of the "Butt-Glance" thanks to [info]mock26.

Oh hell yeah, he looked. On repeated views it just gets funnier as you see Mr. President look and "Wo, damn...".But talk about smoov. He covered it by lookin' around and finding a reason ("Here, lemme help you down these steps, young lady")to have his eyes and attention drawn and locked in that direction.

Anne why are you writing books about how alcoholic losers ruin people's lives? Don't you see that romanticizing douchey behavior is the proper literary convention in this family! Honestly.

Of course the French guy would look. He's French. But if President Obama didn't check her out, I would be seriously disappointed in him as a male of the Human Species. I wouldn't trust a man who wouldn't take a look. I mean no disrespect to Michelle Obama ( I am sure Barack meant none either), and like our President, i find no woman on Earth to be more appealing than my own wife, but dude, if you're a man you are gonna look at that view.

An exclusive first look at a forthcoming short series via Avatar Press.

(It’s not actually steampunk. And there’s not really a serial killer.)

A picture is supposed to be able to tell a thousand words. Nowadays with digital manipulation, each of those thousand words can be a lie.

This set here though, isn't made up of the sort that gets manipulated, and what comes though isn't the sort of stuff you can create anyway.

I don't know exactly what i got out of it, but I feel like I understand something about what we're facing in Paghakistan (I can't think of a name that fits any better than that) a little better now.

On Living in London.

a couple more language differences that I forgot to mention...

If someone gets hurt over here, the media reports them as "ill". As in the 14 year old schoolboy who got attacked by his science teacher and is in critical condition with head injuries, reported as "Seriously ill". If i had just gotten here and read that, I'd have thought, "Oh man, first he gets attacked by his fucking teacher, and now on top of it he's come down with some disease? Poor kid!"

Where we Yanks say "Specialty", the Brits say "Speciality"

Yanks say "Disoriented", Brits say "Disorientated" (thanks to [info]yummydeb for racking her brain cells long enough to remember that one. I'd forgotten)

So hey, it has recently come to my attention that Rob Clough of Sequart.com (which is currently down, unfortunately) has written a really nice review of Ophestios over at his blog.

Also, the charming and illustrious Brett Warnock of Top Shelf Productions has posted a drawing that myself, Nick and Penina collaborated on as a thank you to Brett for having lent us table space at TCAF a million billion years ago over at the Top Shelf blog. So that's fun too.

Good times!
