"more than fragments"

Happy belated birthday to artwhisperer. I hope this year is the best yet!

I have a few links to share:

* Thanks to Sword of Gryffindor (a great site for those who enjoy the Harry Potter series and take the books seriously as literature) for recently recommending my blog. I appreciate it! Incidentally, Sword of Gryffindor's blog is now syndicated for LJ as sword_gryff.

* read_hp is hosting a Harry Potter Read-A-Long. Beginning March 12, the community will be reading the entire Harry Potter series chapter by chapter in anticipation of the final book, which will be released on July 21, 2007. (Thanks to agentxpndble.)

* princeofcairo is taking a "Tour De Lovecraft," reading through HPL's works and commenting on each, in his blog. (Thanks to vaklam.)

* A Finnish politician seeks Klingon votes. (Thanks to sithdragn.)

* The USPS will soon have some R2D2 mailboxes. (Thanks to agentxpndble.)
