Kat with a K

Morning Coffee (1/12/11)

Snow day! Well, sort of. I'm working from home for a few hours. But I'm NOT venturing out there, at least until my road has been thoroughly plowed. This turns out to be good, because my cat woke me up in the middle of the night, presumably to tell me about the snow, and it took forever to get back to sleep and so I slept late and now I'm all discombobulated. Anyway. Onward!

Off the Map (aka Grey's Anatomy in the jungle) premieres tonight at 10 on ABC. For good or ill, it sounds like it will be exactly what we all expected. I'll have a review for you tomorrow.

Headline I did not expect to see today: Jeremy Piven Joins Miley Cyrus Movie

On the other hand, several pieces of awesome movie news:
Rights to Sarah Rees Brennan's amazing Demon's Lexicon have been optioned.
This might not be news, but I had not noticed the amazing cast of At Swim-Two-Birds. LOOK AT THAT.
Also not strictly news, but I didn't know they were making a movie of Madeleine L'Engle's Camilla!
Actual news: Ed Westwick is joining the J. Edgar Hoover movie with Leonardo DiCaprio and Armie Hammer. That will be a very pretty movie.
Bond will be back in 2012.

There is now Glee nail polish. Of course there is.

Why isn't anyone running for president?

A new site that looks worth keeping an eye on: PopDust

The White Swan/Black Swan party game is brilliant.

Read John Kerry. No, really.

If there's any argument in favor of Gatsby in 3D, this is it.

A hilarious take on the new Britney song. "It makes Madonna's vapid middle period sound like Goethe!"

I'll admit it: I kind of love Costco pizza.

Drinking extra fluids while sick: a waste of time.

I really wanted the lede of this story to mean that someone had actually polled New Jersey on Springsteen for president, but alas, it did not.
