Today Totally Rocked
–I got the job I really, really wanted; I start Tuesday.
–I went to see Super 8, which was awesome.
–I listened to one of my bffs rant about the 7th HP book. She was articulate and outraged and hilarious.
–This was linked all over my flist today but I'm going to link to it as well: The Boy Who Lived Forever, which is the only professional article on fanfiction that I ever felt actually got it. Best quote: They're fans, but they're not silent, couchbound consumers of media. The culture talks to them, and they talk back to the culture in its own language.
–If you haven't been keeping an eye on 12_12_12's meta-ings about gender, you should check it out. Especially part two, where she talks about Blair Waldorf and the difference between nice and good, and I name-check some of my favorite bitchy, BAMF ladies in the comments.
–All the cards I use most in my purse - my debit card, my credit card, my bus pass, my library card are all basically the same shade of blue.

Really?! Wow. I never would have pegged Super 8 to be good. I kind of wrote it off on the Stephen Spielberg and George Lucas Are Going Insane wagon
Nope. JJ Abrams is the director and Spielberg produced. It actually feels like old-school Spielberg, or those classic adventure movies from the eighties and nineties.

That is GLORIOUS.
My debit card used to be a pretty blue but they blocked it because of an info leak on their end and I needed a new one. It's illustrated and not bad, but it's orange and it seriously challenges the chromatic scheme I prefer.
To be honest, while it's nice they all match, it makes it a bit annoying when I'm trying to find a card and I have to double-check twice to make sure I'm not trying to use my bus pass to buy groceries.
