Swing and a Miss.
As if Daredevil’s Affleck-esque chin weren’t bad enough, it appears the makers of Daredevil have now turned the character of Elektra (Alias‘s Jennifer Garner) into a pissed-off Edie Brickell.

Many congrats to my little sis, who was promoted to Principal (a.k.a the big time) over at ABT this weekend. Next stop, the world!
Kennedy Ballet Theater?
In related news, ABT weighs the option of officially allying themselves with the Kennedy Center.

I must say, the Laker OT win over Sacramento kinda put a damper on my week. Despite Bibby’s heroics, both Christie and Peja deserve consideration for the All-Choke Hall of Fame. Ah well, at least it’s easy to know who to root for in the Finals.
Iorek v. Aslan.
His Dark Materials author Phillip Pullman rips into C.S. Lewis. (Via LinkMachineGo.) Pullman’s got a point, but to my mind his trilogy grew a lot more ponderous and a lot less fun once the whole Republic of Heaven angle became the central thrust of the story (somewhere in the first third of The Subtle Knife.)
Getting Warmer…
The Bush administration gets closer to admitting human agency in global warming, even if Dubya himself had trouble getting through the “report put out by the bureaucracy.”
Justice is blind.
Harry gets his hands on the teaser poster for Daredevil.
Making Sensenbrenner.
A key Republican comes out against the Ashcroft revisions to the FBI.
