So the latest issue of the Veronica Mars character blog is up over at neptune_online. Read and enjoy my friends.

A big, huge, oh-my-god-you-saved-my-life thank you to rindee who wrote the Veronica article at the very last minute when I started to wig out, and who also wrote the Weevil and Wallace pieces. You are so amazing for doing that!

After publishing the edition a couple of hours ago, I actually took some time out, relaxed and watched a movie (the very excellent Night Watch, reviewed by Corny in this edition of neptune_online) something I haven't done in ages what with school and everything. Will post some more thoughts on the film tomorrow.

Right now, I've got a bunch of VM fics swirling around in my head that I thought of while writing my epic essay on Alexander the Great, so maybe I'll try writing one of those.

And finally, TWoP is going to be recapping Farscape during the summer hiatus. How awesome is that?

I wish I'd never seen the film Alexander, Oliver Stone's 'vision' of one of history's greatest leaders. The film gets a lot of the history right but unfortunately they cast Colin Farrell as Alexander. He is devoid of the charisma that the real Alexander had and had to have in order to achieve what he did.

And as I write this essay on  Alexander the Great, I can't get Colin Farrell in a terrible blond wig out of my head. The film has warped my perception of this amazing historical figure.

Boo.
