Nice deployment of that quote!

I tracked it down - it was created by a deviantart user named sachsen and is here (but the "mature content filter" is on, so you have to be signed in to see it.

HOLY GOD where did you find that?

They're from Far Harad?

That turns out to be an excellent but non-answerable question. Horse is "lobor" in Sindarin, and "rocco" (or "rokko") or "mairo" in Quenya. Can't find "pony."

My take-away just offhand is - there's an Emma Caulfield movie I haven't seen! Joy! I miss her Anya probably more than any other "Buffy" character.

I'd agree with you, except ... I will never pay money to watch a Mel Gibson movie again - no matter how interesting he would be in a fourth iteration of the Mad Max character. Am just hoping that taking on this role doesn't mean Tom Hardy is fated to become a racist misogynist abusive drunk.

No, the lens flares kept traveling backwards in time in order to appear in the 1970s in Super-8, and now I'm pretty sure they'll find a wormhole to take them forward again to the Enterprise.

True. I love goats, and just spent Memorial Day weekend helping feed four baby ones (OMG cute), but their eyes are straaaaange.

Excellent ...

The parrot eye fascinates me, because it looks like it's made out of metal.

I cannot bear them. Why would ANYONE want ANYTHING to do with a hyena? (They do have their advocates.) I'm sure they occupy some beneficial niche in the ecosystem, but ... scream of terror.

The oceans would stay acidic though, yes?

No kidding. That fact definitely doesn't, uh, reduce the aesthetic value of these images.

My favorite Murakami book is Underground, his nonfiction account of the sarin attacks in the Tokyo subway system. Riveting. And I like his short stories. The novels tend to uncoil in very distracting ways; I keep thinking the problem is me, but ...

I was about to say, "Where are the cats?" and then saw the last square. Am so printing this out!

Fascinating. And reminds me a bit of the George Saunders short story "My Flamboyant Grandson" (in the 2006 collection In Persuasion Nation), in which people's shoes track their movements and trigger the display of advertisements as they walk around New York:

I only just saw it for the first time and am terrified. Jesus.

Okay. Whoa.
