It is officially Purim Eve now, so happy Purim everyone :-) And while I am knee deep in online festivities, I'm afraid I haven't had any RL markers of the holiday at all, other than eating a few hamentaschen on Thursday.

Anyway, I have decided to just shut up and link today:

My Day 1 Purimgifts recs (at de.icio.us); some really awesome ficlets in there. (In an attempt at misdirection, I may or may not have recced my own fic as well. Would I really be that tacky? You decide. In any case, if you think you know which fic I wrote, I probably won't be able to persuade you otherwise...)

From [livejournal.com profile] swatkat24, pimping: Why You Should Watch Legend of the Seeker (Illustrated) and Why You Should Watch Seeker II (Illustrated F/F Edition). (I am totally going to start watching this show someday.)

Via [livejournal.com profile] cathalin: [livejournal.com profile] weddingbeaches's epic Kris/Adam rec list and Assorted Handy Links, so if anyone's been wondering where to start getting into the fandom, that post's for you.

Via [livejournal.com profile] winterlive, Robot Unicorn Attack, the game. Music is loud so watch your speakers, but lol, so worth it.

Via [livejournal.com profile] honey_wheeler, 'Hey Jude' FNL vid, omg tears. Has spoilers from the Pilot to the Season 4 finale, which I just saw yesterday, and oh, my heart.

For Purim: [personal profile] miarr and her grandmother make hamentaschen: a photo essay.

And lastly, a report of MIT's 2010 Latkes vs. Hamentaschen debate. To quote:

"In response to Grimson, Smith revived the image of the latke by presenting the triple bottom line for measuring success: prosperity, planet, and potatoes. She demonstrated how the triple bottom line explains why the latke is superior for a sustainable world. She added that 2008 was the U.N. Year of the Potato, whereas not once has a hamentash filling had its own year."

OH SNAP. Team Latkes FTW, guys. Happy holiday :-)

OMG, Legend of the Seeker is so much fun. Dumb as a box of puppies, but just as adorable! It is full of pretty people, pretty places, and silly plots, and I love it for that. Basically, if you feel your life is missing something Xena the Warrior Princess-shaped, Legend of the Seeker is for you. Basically, I heartily cosign those pimping posts, and I'm only 2/3 of the way through season 1.
