No, not those, those are my time-travel trousers

1. My poem "Taking the Auspices" is now online at inkscrawl. The rest of the issue is impressive, too—selkies, Catullus, cities in translation.

2. I still don't know that I'm going to see Tomas Alfredson's Tinker, Tailor, Soldier, Spy (2011), but I will take any excuse to read an interview with John Hurt, especially when he talks about weedkilling and Facebook: "I think people should be protected from being made to feel that they want to know what somebody famous had for breakfast."

3. Counteract Orson Scott Card; help rachelmanija list queer main characters in genre YA. Also, write Hamlet slash.

4. Courtesy of someone I met, appropriately, on Sunday at Tea: chap-hop.

5. lesser_celery and I are starting Millennium (1996–99) tonight.

Have you watched Millennium before?

....Aaand now that you've commented all I can think is "white like Frank Black is."

Have you watched Millennium before?

Never; I think when it aired originally, the only show I was watching was Babylon 5. lesser_celery has been recommending it to me for years, but first we were in different cities and then our lives kept interfering. I am hoping it will fill the Lance Henriksen-shaped void that rewatching Aliens always leaves in my life.

Ah! I hope you enjoy it, then. It's quite good. I mean, until Chris Carter does what he does to TV shows. But such things are inevitable.

Three episodes in: awesome.

Have you seen Near Dark (1987)? It's an interesting vampire film that stars a lot of the Aliens cast, including Henriksen. It's directed by Katherine Bigelow (who did The Hurt Locker), and never uses the word "vampire". Despite a little 80s cheesiness, it's worth a look.

I may propose it as a chaser to Millennium. I've never seen anything by Kathryn Bigelow, and it's always sounded like a good place to start.
