AND NOW THE DAY HAS COME! EN TARO ADUN! READY TO ROLL OUT! SPAWN MORE OVERLORDS!

Also, random fact of the day: Did you know that today, the day of Starcraft II’s release (Starcraftmas), is a national holiday in South Korea?

…okay, it actually isn’t. But it should be.

What’s the most resilient parasite?

A Katy Perry song. Damn it.

NOTE TO SELF

START WEARING EAR PLUGS AT CONCERTS. OR RISK PERMANENT AND EXPERIENCE TEMPORARY LOSS OF HEARING. EVEN IF JACK WHITE IS AWESOME, YOU STILL WANT TO HEAR OTHER PERFORMERS, RIGHT?

Zooey as Ms. Edmunds

Bridge to Terabithia was one of my favorite books when I was growing up. In fact, it’s still one of my favorite books. It’s so gut-wrenchingly heartbreaking yet beautiful coming of age stories that you can’t stop thinking about it, even when you haven’t read it in the past 10 years. When I heard that they were making it into a movie, naturally, I had some doubts. For one, Jesse and Leslie’s young music teacher was someone who I always visualized as the ideal twenty-something artsy teacher who had something vaguely hippie-ish (hippish) about her. And of course, she was beautiful, but not necessarily in the drop-dead gorgeous “you should be a movie star” sort of way, but someone who you’d genuinely have a crush on, whether you’re a young boy or not. Someone who was actually appealing enough for a young boy to forgo his budding relationship with a spirited and imaginative and age-appropriate Leslie. I couldn’t think of many Hollywood actresses who could fit the bill. I think Zooey did a terrific job, how about you?
