Weather Forecast: I want an igloo

The formatting looks weird, but I wanted to embed the Vermillion Lies' song "the Astronomer".

The good thing about age is that one realized which things one likes for nostalgic reasons, and which ones because she is that weird.

So now I listen t whatever I liked when I was 16, and also to Melnitsa, Katzenjammer, http://www.last.fm/music/The+Dresden+Dolls and Blackmore's Night stuff like that.

Joss myths

There is a discussion over at io9 about Joss Whedon and myths about him. Myths About Joss Whedon (That Keep Non-Whedonistas Away)/a>

the myths that are refuted are:

1. His work is all twee, and everybody wears silly hats all the time
2. He always kills off your favorite character
3. He's all about 1990s "girl power" feminism
4. He only likes mentally unstable girls
5. All of his characters banter, all the time
6. There's such a thing as the "Whedonverse" that you need to understand all of
7. Every Joss project (except Avengers) is automatically doomed. DOOMED!

Are those really the myths that stop people from watching his work? I was kind of surprised. I did notice another myth in the comments - that all Whedon's fans are insane. Well... just the best ones!
