"what else is the whole cosmos but mystery?"
Happy birthday to ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
otoselkie, and happy early birthday to lexie_marie! May you both have wonderful days and fantastic years to come.
I have lots of links to share today that I hope may be of interest...
Listening
* The Journal of Mythic Arts has a post about the Celtic Myth Podshow.
* Harry and the Potters, Math the Band, and Uncle Monsterface have announced The Unlimited Enthusiasm 2008 Tour. (Note: All I can say is, if you have the chance to see Harry and the Potters play live, do so!)
Reading
* Here are two "top ten" lists of overlooked science fiction classics:
- from The List Universe
- from Ian Sales
* io9 lists "7 Reasons Why SciFi Book Series Outstay Their Welcomes." (Note: I disagree with their assessment of Frank Herbert. To my mind, the Dune series was very welcome until Brian Herbert and Kevin J. Anderson got into the act.)
Viewing
* New at Revolution Science Fiction: "Sci-Fi TV Not Cancelled Yet in 2008."
* Topless Robot posted a list of "The Top Ten Brutally Annoying Comic Relief Characters." (Note: Come on, no one is more annoying than Jar-Jar!)
Shopping
* Pequest Designs has some beautiful jewelry inspired by Lost, Firefly, and Bones, as well as a lovely necklace series inspired by characters from The Lord of the Rings. (If you're looking for the Samwise Gamgee necklace, I have it! *g*)

I'm one of those people who loved all the original Dune books, even Chapterhouse. For almost a decade, I reread them all each year. But I gather the books that followed Dune are the kind of thing you either love or hate. Now those new spinoffs are a totally different matter... I don't even want to be in the same room with one of those. Ack!
