Well, this is just too appropriate

I like this little blog called Indexed. A girl makes pithy little diagrams on index cards and scans them in. This one is very appropriate given my move last week (which just finally, almost really, ended yesterday with the final import of stuff from my old apartment to the new, even though we still don't have plates or a dining room table. And may never end up with the latter, given how small our living room is!).

JK Rowling speaks

SPOILERS. Don't read this if you haven't finished Harry Potter 7.

But otherwise, do. And then we can discuss at length.

Awesome, awesome, awesome:

R. Kelly is to issue 10 new instalments of his cult video series "Trapped In The Closet."

The original "hip-hopera" became a huge hit two years ago, especially in the U.S. where the DVD sold almost 250,000 copies.

Following the story of a man named Sylvester (Kelly), the drama featured 12 cliffhanger episodes with bizarre plot twists based around used condoms, midgets, and bed-hopping.

The 10 new episodes will be released on DVD on August 21.

According to Billboard.com, these will find Kelly portraying an old man named Randolph, complete with a pot-belly and a fake white beard that nearly falls off mid-scene, as well as a preacher in a grey Jheri-curl wig and garish orange suit.

In one of the final chapters, Kelly's Sylvester character talks business with a Sopranos-esque mobster who is eating a giant plate of spaghetti.

I am already planning a viewing party. What beverage do you think is most appropriate? I am thinking coke and rum, in tribute to another R Kelly masterpiece. It can't be a forty, because, see, R Kelly is too classy for that.

I quite liked this way of describing Facebook, since it's a much more accurate description of how I use it:

Zuckerberg: ...Our whole theory is that people have real connections in the world. People communicate most naturally and effectively with their friends and the people around them. What we figured is that if we could model what those connections were, [we could] provide that information to a set of applications through which people want to share information, photos or videos or events. But that only works if those relationships are real. That's a really big difference between Facebook and a lot of other sites. We're not thinking about ourselves as a community — we're not trying to build a community — we're not trying to make new connections.

TIME: Why do you describe Facebook as a "social utility" rather than a "social network?"

Zuckerberg: I think there's confusion around what the point of social networks is. A lot of different companies characterized as social networks have different goals — some serve the function of business networking, some are media portals. What we're trying to do is just make it really efficient for people to communicate, get information and share information. We always try to emphasize the utility component.

Briefly

My dad called me today in hysterics because he realized the reason I asked him to ship me my old Halloween costume cape was because I was dressing up for Harry Potter tonight.
