Wicked and V and POTO

In a week or two, after more of my friends have had a chance to see V for Vendetta (and truly, most of you would like it), I've got a few reflections on the interesting parallels and divergences between V and the Phantom of the Opera.



And for the Wicked fans in the house, woodwardiocom wrote this riff on Dorothy and Elphaba, inspired by V.

When I did the "Ask Me A Question About" meme earlir this week, some of you may have noticed that I took out "music" and added "movies," explaining that movies were a lot more significant to me.

Thinking about that, I just did a survey of my LJ icons.

Of the 90 icons I've uploaded, 60 are from movies, television, or a Broadway show.

The rest are primarily fantasy art or tarot imagery, with a few odds and ends (like the polar bear mother and cub I use for some posts about my daughter, a Gibson girl, the water-in-a-pail that dancingchaplain made for me for my water posts, and etc.).

I was a bit surprised to find that I've made 32 of my icons myself (or with the assistance of an LJ friend or two who added text to my specifications). I didn't realize I'd done that many. Interestingly, most of them date from my earliest time on LJ, before I was aware of icon groups.

Lost and Found?

While doing some pondering on sexuality and spirituality this afternoon, I did a Google search on "virginity."

The following sidebar ad came up:

Looking for Virginity?

www.eBay.com


With an offer like that, I had to click over.

For better or worse, I found neither virgins nor "Restore Your Virginity" kits. Although the number of t-shirts on sale stating, "I sold my virginity on eBay" suggest that perhaps I need to check back on another day. ;-)
