Things I know about (so you don't need to tell me).

[seanan_mcguire]

We here on the internet are a lot like intersecting flocks of crows: constantly chasing the shiny things, and then bringing them back to the nest to be pecked at, admired, and envied. These are some things I've been brought recently.

1. Singing mice. Yes! Mice can sing. I know this, and am delighted by it.

2. Mark Reads is doing Feed. Actually, Mark Reads is doing the whole series. I drew him a nun. We have a close friend in common, so I'm pretty well-informed.

3. Many people are making many types of horrifyingly flavored candy corn, including caramel, sour apple, and worse. None of these are The One True Corn. Only candy corn, flavored like candy corn, is The One True Corn. Chocolate candy corn is acceptable in Autumn Mix, and no other time.

4. Community is awesome and I should be watching it. Well, I listened, and I'm now most of the way through season two. Y'all were right. I salute you.

5. Amy Mebberson drew Disney Princesses as the various Doctors. I have dispatched people to try and get me a print at NYCC, since I'm not attending the convention this year.

6. The Bay features tongue-eating isopods eating an entire small community. I am so excited for this movie!

7. Steampunk Disney pins, coming this November.

8. That video of a bulldog puppy whining for five minutes. Adorable.

9. There is no new Glee until November. I hate the mid-season hiatus with a burning passion, but I did notice that it was happening.

10. The Monster High dance class dolls have been released. Yes! But they're not showing up in California yet. Boo.

And those are the things I know, because I have been told about them multiple times in the last week. I hope the world is as relevant to your interests as it is to mine!

I really love Community. kitanzi and I only discovered it recently ourselves, and we now have all three seasons on DVD. (Still have S3 to watch, as it came recently.)

One of these days, I'll get around to watching Fringe, which you've recommended to me numerous times.

You really should. Especially now that we're in the confirmed final season.

[seanan-mcguire.livejournal.com]

Mmmmm, candy corn.

Pringles is making pumpkin spice flavored potato crisps. I'm frightened, but thought I should share.

1. Singing mice? That's awesome! (...no link? *sadface* (I tease! I can exercise Google Fu myself!))

5. ...another thing for me to hit the search engines with.

7. ...oooooooo.

8. ...that's going to be harder to find. Oh, well. I have a whiney part-Siamese cat instead, who will do that with crossed eyes.

Is this a back door into some kind of ask you a question thread? 'Cause then I'd be tempted to ask you what starter Pokémon you chose. I chose Snivy. ;)

[seanan-mcguire.livejournal.com]

...that, I did not know.

Are they available in the US?

[seanan-mcguire.livejournal.com]

Actual whining cats, much to be preferred.

[seanan-mcguire.livejournal.com]

I choose Cyndaquil.

It's a WEASEL that is ON FIRE ALL THE TIME. How can you not love that?

Heh, another thing you have in common is that people keep telling you the same things over and over. It happens so often that it's become a hilarious running gag that initiates like clockwork with every mention.

Also, what is this about singing mice? Like actual mice actually singing? What do they sing?

[seanan-mcguire.livejournal.com]

They sort of exchange information by humming. It's adorable.

I can't wait for Tuesday!!!

[bercilakslady.livejournal.com]

It looks like they will be. Only at Walmart, though, which makes me sad.

Oh my gosh, singing mice! Thank you so much for that; I think you just made my day. A lovely October Day(e).

I'm so sorry; I seem to have been completely unable to resist saying that. :-)

[spectralbovine.livejournal.com]

I know!! I will have to get a good night's sleep so I have time to watch the video.

[tygerversionx.livejournal.com]

I chose Cyndaquil on that generation of games too, first. :D

Mine all had such macho names, like Flare, Flashfire, and whatnot. :D

Although I was mightily tempted to name my current-gen Tepig something like "Sizzler" since he's a pig-Pokémon.

... oooh, you've reminded me I haven't transferred my older gen guys to the new gen.... I'm coming, Cyndaquil! Just hold on!

my favourite comment regarding singing mice was Juliet McKenna's tweet:
Mice can 'sing', scientists discover via @Telegraph http://soc.li/CfR8dWI Well, obviously. Did these people never watch Bagpuss as children?

Bizarrely enough, the truck stop that I generally fill up at for the last time before heading into Burning Man has had MH dolls the last couple of years. If you would like, I will remind you of this next August, and will take whatever wish list you may have at the time to see if I can acquire one or two. (Obviously, it won't be any of the exclusives, but since it is such an out-of-the-way location, they might still have some of the less-common dolls.)

FYI: I'm fetching you from PDX on Monday 'n' shuttling you wherever. We could swing by another Toys R Us if'n you like to see if'n they're here in OR.

[seanan-mcguire.livejournal.com]

Hee.

[seanan-mcguire.livejournal.com]

Bagpuss rules.

[seanan-mcguire.livejournal.com]

Awesome. I will keep that in mind.

[seanan-mcguire.livejournal.com]

AWESOME.

[shanejayell.livejournal.com]

Huh, interesting.

Only new snack I've seen lately was Jalapeno Cheetos....

[autographedcat.livejournal.com]

It's on my to-do list. The next few weeks may be taken up with "Breaking Bad", which I just devoured the first season of in two days.
