My friend Cathy

You can see my other handwritten Blatherings entries in this Flickr set.

I'm seeing Serenity (again) tonight with my friends Parki and Craig. I *love* this movie, and can't wait until they do another Firefly flick. They HAVE to do another Firefly movie, don't they?

To those leaving for OVFF tomorrow, have a wonderful time!

Doodle experiments, Erica's song, chocolate

Images posted on Blatherings today are my preliminary doodle experiments for a NEW COMIC STRIP. Yesyes, I know I haven't updated my autobiographical comic strip in five months. I'll be resuming posts to that soon as well, now that housestuff is calming down. These new comic strip, however, is for another project and will hopefully bring in a bit of cash. More news on this later.

So Erica N. (now DOCTOR Erica) wrote a song for me about a year ago. She sang it to me at the very end of a convention, sitting in a quiet corner of a hallway. This woman is incredibly smart, talented and witty, and I was torn between being flattered (that she wrote a song about me) and a desire for revenge (because she wrote a song about me). The desire for revenge won. Stay tuned for developments.



[Insert evil maniacal laughter here]

Anyway, Erica has posted the lyrics online, for those interested.

Thanks to all those who participated in my Favourite Chocolate Poll yesterday. The discussion in Livejournal was especially enlightening and drool-provoking. For example, check out these exotic truffles from Vosges! (thanks to Singlemaltsilk for the link)

(Christine H. taught me how to write "drool" in German. :-))

To those on Flickr: one of older my cottage photos recently was viewed a ton of times, with 30 people adding it to their "Favorites" list. I posted a question asking how they found my photo and got the following reply: "I think I saw it in the Most Interesting page if that is what it is called.
and it was well picked for it too.:)"

Is anyone familiar with this page? Thanks in advance for any help.

Update:
Thanks to Martin GK, who posted in Blatherchat shortly after I posted the above: "Flickr and 'most interesting' - its a sum based on the the number of time the photo has been viewed, but giving more points for the number of people that call it a favourite or have commented on it. Don't know what the exact ratio is - you can see your own 'most interesting' photos on a link from your own photo page, so you should be able to work out the formula to some degree from that (comments rank higher than favourites, I can tell you from mine). www.flickr.com/explore/ has several 'most interesting' options - in particular, they do a 'most interesting in the last 24 hours' and a'"most interesting a year ago' - which this might have hit? They explain interestingness at www.flickr.com/explore/interesting/. "
