suzvoy and cheapevilgirl, I got your cards. Thanks! They're both adorable. :)

Speaking of Christmassy things, softstepshoes gave me Cybermen socks! Cybermen socks that say, "You will be deleted!" Now my feet can delete people, mwahahahaha!

So Tim Burton is a movie version of Sweeney Todd, starring Johnny Depp in the title role and Alan Rickman as Judge Turpin. This is kind of awesome on a lot of levels. Helena Bonham-Carter is going to play Mrs. Lovett, which strikes me as a miscast, but maybe she can pull it off.

Yay, movie musicals about evil barbers and cannabalism!

The birds, the birds!

So the starlings have been congregating in and around my yard lately. I took videos, 'cause the flocks (probably upwards of 2,000 birds) have to be seen to be believed. Of course, since they're an infestation over most of the world, you've all probably seen them flocking before. Nevertheless, bird videos from my backyard! (Quicktime format; right-click and save.)

Video 1 (14 MB). Er, ignore the drone of the airplane that plays through most of this. I live five minutes from the airport; there's no getting around it. But notice that you can still hear the birds over the sound of the plane.
Video 2 (3 MB). This is what happens when someone claps their hands real loud.

I also have photos of birds in the trees and sunset from the other day ( behind the cut )
