Many random things ...

molly_o-- Disconcerting: I've been mainlining Fast & the Furious fic for a few weeks now, so it was a little weird to see a friend on Saturday who is a dead ringer for Vin Diesel (he even has the voice).
--Disappointing: On Thursday and again on Friday, the Post ran a scary headline about the nuclear reactor emergency in Japan, accompanied by a distressing photo that had *nothing* to do with the nuclear reactor emergency. It was misleading, and they did it not once but *twice*. (Scroll down for Friday's front page. Thursday's was worse -- men wearing face masks, gloves, etc. carrying a body -- but for some reason it's not accessible on their site right now.)
-- Entertaining: Check out this very fun fanvid, Sherlock: The Musical
-- Righteous: I love this video of Veena Malik, an actress from Pakistan, telling off her detractors after she's ambushed on TV. She never gets defensive; rather, she lets loose with some passionate words you can tell she's been holding in for a long time (found via You Offend Me You Offend My Family, who I think got it from boing boing).
-- Refreshingly Drama-Free: I must admit I am not too keen on Patrick Stump's new look, but I loved his answer to this question in Details: "So you're confirming that Ashlee Simpson is no Yoko Ono?":
"I'm confirming that. Also, Yoko Ono never deserved any of the hate she got. Paul McCartney and John Lennon weren't getting along. Not that I'm drawing a parallel, because a) we were getting along just fine and b) I'm not arrogant enough to compare Fall Out Boy to the Beatles."
