  • Looks like we may catch him after all. Batman is going after Osama. (Via Boing Boing).
  • Trent at Proud Liberal Journal has an excellent post on Democrats and the Patriot Act.
  • Kirkus Reviews has released its Spring & Summer 2006 special issue on forthcoming books. You can find it at the first link here. (Via Blog of a Bookslut).
  • No wonder I liked the series so much. The Which Sci-Fi Crew Would You Belong To? quiz tells me there’s a 94 percent chance I would be on Serenity with the Firefly gang. (Via SF Signal).
  • Of course, I also learned that my life is like a historical book — “it’s really boring and you repeat yourself a lot and don’t really learn from the mistakes you’ve made.” To see just how boring I really am, look for tomorrow’s post on my upcoming weekend plans.

      I stumbled on your blog because I have another — blogging from the southern Plains! Here’s a writing quote you might like, from Elmore Leonard from an NYTimes article:
