The Warlock's favorite pound cake, the kind with raisins

From cincodemaygirl:

This year's Bulwer-Lytton contest winners.

The contest asks people to write the worst opening sentence possible, in honor of Bulwer-Lytton, who penned the "It was a dark and stormy night," opener many years ago.

These are some of the stinkiest opening sentences I've ever read...and yet I can't look away. The Dishonorable Mention for Children's Literature is wonderful.

Things that rule

So, some of you may know that there's a Lord of the Rings exhibit at the Boston Museum of Science now. It opens tomorrow at midnight and features weapons, armor, costumes, and effects from the movies.

I got to go to the opening last night.

Why? Because I am Big Media. Fear Me!

No, really. The editor for one of the papers I work on got an invite and passed it on to me. So I got to go and get a little press kit and a badge that said "PRESS" and got to have thomascantor as my attache.

It ruled.

In conclusion: ruled.
