Tigers versus snowmen

The Guardian brings us this video of tigers and snowmen.

In unrelated news, yesterday's excursion did accomplish Some Of The Things, but today I am sniffly and mildly dizzy and cranky and and rather wanting to be a tiger. Still delightfully cool out, though, the way January around here ought to be.

The Twits

Over at Tor.com, it's time to chat about The Twits.

I didn't mention it in the post, but one thing I'm noticing in this Dahl reread is how some bits of his books make me feel like a little kid again (the hell in a handbasket joke in Charlie and the Great Glass Elevator, or the chocolate river in Charlie and the Chocolate Factory) and some bits remind me that I am most definitely not anymore. This particular book made me distinctly feel like a grown-up. Ouch.

And now back to trying to get other stuff done. Grown-up stuff. I am sensing an uncomfortable sort of theme here.
