randomosity: "Unidentified" cover embiggened; weird dreams; earthquakes

According to roommate, there was an earthquake last night--not the sort that makes bridges collapse or opens up huge gaping holes in the earth, just a wee gentle rumbling--but I slept right through it. I think that might have been because I had much more important things on my mind, i.e. an alarming dream where one of my old students emailed me and a bunch of professors saying he found this stuff and it looks kind of cool. It was some of my fanfic.

But. It was only fic in which characters were going or had gone to the dentist.

Now, I'm far from the most evil writer out there when it comes to character abuse, but I have been known to, on occasion, have them shot and left out in the desert, kidnapped and dumped in an alley, and infect their brains with nanites. However, I have never ever been so depraved as to make them visit the dentist, and I never will be.

Just for the record. (Also, he was really smirky about it, "oooh, see what I found, it looks neat ;-)" the little so-and-so.)

Anyway, onto normal things. Remember the tiny "Unidentified" cover? The one where you can't see anything? Yes. The madly-skilled [livejournal.com profile] girlnamedpixley has run it through her amazing and mystical image-enlarging program and produced a version where you can actually see stuff. The resolution isn't perfect, but believe me, it's light-years better than what I could persuade out of Photoshop and, as I said, you can see stuff, so if you would like to get a closer look at Rodney's (Team-only because I was obsessed) board:



And lastly: [livejournal.com profile] sheafrotherdon is having her David Hewlett Festival of Awesome Fortyishness Picspam here! Go! See! Contribute to Hewlettosity!

whatever size it is, it's still a stunning piece of work!

I kind of just want to keep staring at that instead of starting defensive driving. I think this is a good plan, don't you?

So this earthquake of which many people on my flist are talking, I probably would have slept through it to. I have been known to sleep through Texas thunderstorms, which are loud, violent and terrifying things.

Oh, wow, that's GORGEOUS and I don't know why LJ hid that previous post from me.

I slept through it too. I had NO idea until I heard about it on the radio in the car this morning. Apparently the facade actually fell off one of the buildings downtown - blocked the whole road.

The art is just stunning and it's fab to be able to see it in more detail. :)
