is part of this cute little game called “My Minicity.” Basically, you’ve got a tiny little city, and when someone clicks on it, it increases the population or the level of industry. So she’s hoping people will click to visit her town, Plimpton Snugbury.

Following her lead, I decided “what the heck” and created Jaynehatopia this morning. Right now, there is exactly one inhabitant, but if you click that link hopefully I’ll get a greater population. There’s really nothing to do there beyond click, so that’s, what — two seconds out of your day?

This morning I’m meeting up with a friend at a local coffeeshop and yarn store. They’re close to each other, not the same building. Good lord, combination coffeeshop and yarn store? I’d never leave!

In other news, we finally saw Pan’s Labyrinth, a gay, lighthearted romp. If your idea of “gay, lighthearted romp” means watching a guy get his face smashed in with a bottle by a fascist Spaniard. Oy. Great movie, don’t get me wrong, but probably not one to watch if you’re not ready for something dark.

Also, we’re finally watching Jericho, going through season 1 via Netflix. As a Firefly fan, I feel a certain obligation to check out a show which was cancelled and brought back as a result of a passionate fan campaign. We’re really enjoying this! You have to suspend a certain amount of disbelief, but this is a show I would recommend to others. I need to figure out who at CBS to write to to let them know they’ve picked up another viewer. Best to let them know people are watching before it gets cancelled again.

Today’s interesting links:
“You’re safe to drive, but get that prostate checked out.”
“Thank you, come again!”
World’s largest snow sculpture
“Yes, I do have a lot of time on my hands, why do you ask?”

Continuing to pack up kits and hats. Hats up: Lancashire, Dallas, St. Louis.

    I made with the clicky. Is there anything else we are supposed to do?

    I was mildly entertained when Pan’s Labyrinth first came out and there was a rash of people that thought it looked like it was going to be a sweet, inventive fantasy.

    Uh. No. Nononononononononooooooooooooooooooooooo. The gentlest this director’s been was Hellboy; everything else is a recipe for drinking a margarita and eating cookies while viewing. I love ’em all, but yes. Yeesh.

    I still thought it was an excellent movie though, even if it was a bit gory. It had a damn good story to it.
