Last day of freedom

swan_towerTomorrow is the ankle surgery, after which I will be stoned on Vicodin for a while. So if you don't hear from me, blame the drugs.
Before I go, some linky:
Generic Movie Trailer -- oh god, it's like "Title of the Song." A hilarious (because accurate) structural breakdown of trailers for the kind of movie that's trying to win an Oscar, done as a trailer. "And then the music . . . gets . . . hopeful . . . ."
An open letter to conservatives -- less funny, but more useful in the long run. Your one-stop-shop for evidence as to what's wrong with the Republican Party today. Conservatism as a concept, I often think is wrong in the sense of "I disagree with you;" conservatism as it's most visibly being practiced today in America, I often think is wrong in the sense of "what the hell is wrong with you people?" The letter includes a billion and one links documenting, as it says, the "hypocrisy, hyperbole, historical inaccuracy and hatred" currently afflicting the party's loudest voices.
Marissa Lingen on "fake swears" -- back to the funny. Having recalled it during the course of commenting, I think I will revive "son of a hairless kumquat" as an insult in my repertoire.
"Scientific Romance," by Tim Pratt -- best love poem ever. (At least if you're a geek.)
