Found a useful reference (for a change) on my MSN flavoured Sympatico home page - to a booklet published by Reporters Without Borders. Good information on the what and how of blogging, and also on the technical details of being anonymous while you do it -whether within the hostile borders of Iran or China, or those of a large Amerikan corporation.
Helpful for voices like this.
I met with her and some friends to take in the latest by Tim Burton, The Corpse Bride. We both love his work, have a copy of Nightmare Before Christmas and sing along to it. We liked this one too, but not as much as the other. Maybe because it was fresher in 1993? Music wasn't as good, but the voices were great - especially little touches like a maggot sounding (and looking) like Peter Lorre. Same style of animation, with exaggerated figures with impossibly long skinny legs. Good for kids, but lots of subtle references for the adults - keep an eye out for Sammy Davis Junior.
OK - working through my flics and posting in batches as I go. I've a set on Flickr for them, feel free to comment or email me on them. I have info on most of the writers, and will get it eventually for the bboys/girls, so will add later. Keep checking over the next few days.

Some see it as art, some as a crime. I tend towards the former - unless I see this.
We cleaned up late Saturday evening - in the dark, and some time between then and Sunday morning some jerks did this.

I picked up the paint cans (again), hopefully the city will come soon for the garbage.
As for the kids that were out way past their curfew - feel free to post their names.
