Catching Up: Or, Random Link Day

I get a few days behind on everyone else's blogs from time to time, and realize I miss all sorts of interesting stuff. For example, [livejournal.com profile] blackholly posted an update on the situation at Tara, the spiritual center of Ireland now being threatened with destruction-by-highway. Protesters gathered, forming the shape of a harp as seen from above--the pictures are great. The link to the protest is here, while the movement itself is at SaveTara.com.

The League of Reluctant Adults is still three days ahead of me in their blog, but I can't link directly to [livejournal.com profile] mdhenry's excellent entry about what to do before submitting your manuscript. I can just direct you to the Wednesday entry and hope you get a giggle out of his advice.

Edit: Thanks to [livejournal.com profile] dmoonfire, the direct link is here.

I just finished reading volume 1 of Marjane Satrapi's Persepolis for the first time--something I've been meaning to do for years. As you may have guessed from reading this, I'm not normally a big fan of the autobiographical comics, but this one blew me away. At the end I was literally blinking away tears from the emotion of the last chapter. Just gorgeously done.
