Links of the morning

[anotheranon]

I've not read Slashdot in awhile, but at D.'s suggestion I HAD to check out their link to the X-wing Honda Civic. I have a Civic - think I should do this after I finish the Pink Thing? :P

Also, probably old news to everyone else, but I'll repeat it anyway: Farscape is to return as a 4 hour miniseries. Not as good as renewing it, but I'm not going to turn my nose up at 4 more hours of bad pop cultural references, tight black leather, and angst!

For costume nrrds: The Great Pattern Review. Primarily historic costume patterns, though I notice a few Vintage Vogues and Simplicitys in there (would love the backstory on the vinyl Elizabethan!) The great thing is that the site shows finished versions of many of the patterns, illustrating beautifully how you can make something original by selection of trim and or fabric.

The Beating-A-Dead-Horse Dept: the GPR includes the pattern I'm currently fighting with; it seems that the few people who had problems encountered them in the same place (the bodice). Think I'll cut a size smaller and see what happens.

Oh, I loved that Honda! Especially the steering wheel and the light sabre holder on the dash. Taking notes, Elizabeth??????

YAYYYY!!!!!!!!!! Wonder how long before it'll be before Space airs it? (Farscape was in its third season before they finally caught on to its existence and started airing the first up here)

The article doesn't say a lot, other than it's in production - no word even on WHERE it will get aired, though I think both Space and Sci-Fi would be foolish to turn it down. Hell, even if it goes straight to video it's better than just leaving it with last season's finale!

Oh, Space would definitely air it ... they're still repeating the existing episodes twice a week. But Canadians may have to wait up to a year after the U.S. broadcast to see it (not because of copyright or anything ... it just depends on where it falls in their financial year).
