Sweepings

• I had some good writing news this afternoon. Firstly I had a submission I made on Monday accepted (although it won't see the light of day until 2010, which probably makes it my first hit of next year). I've also been asked to start a new blog, which will run in addition to this one and the EMLN posts. More news on both soon.
• I went to see Moon and Antichrist on Tuesday. Moon was somewhat underwhelming - a pedestrian science fiction story full of inconsistencies and logic gaps. Antichrist, while gruelling and unpleasant, was a stunning movie, far exceeding my expectations. There's a good discussion of Antichrist here.
• I love six-word stories, but it's rare to find satisfying ones. This one by Colin Houlson is pretty good.
• Lolcats were invented in Brighton in the 19th century (via twhume)
• Lovely timelapse footage of the Elephant Bed exhibition being installed at Fabrica.
