You’ve got to style it yourself – until the big contest is over, that is. Then there should be a few good, award-winning, styles to choose from.

I’d also recommend Chris Pearson’s Cutline and Copyblogger themes. I’d be using one of those two if I wasn’t so bloody independent and curious.

And check out these 6 Hot New WordPress Themes found by J. David Macor. You can trust in his taste.

They’re usually terrible (of course, terrible movies can still be fodder for a great blog, right?). I still always look forward to them, though.

Hey, Antman, welcome to Upper Fort Stewart. And you’re welcome. Hmm, I like being da man. Antman, you’ve got to come around more often.

Pearl, that’s awesome. Thanks. You know, I’ve been lurking around your blog too. It’s great reading a “fresh perspective”.

Last I read, Terry Gilliam had the film rights (after Tim Burton let them go), so who knows, maybe we’ll see it in ten or twenty years.

Definitely not a guilty pleasure — a lot of people are rejoicing about Dunn’s return with a second novel this year. If it’s that book, if not nevermind.

I think Orhan Pamuk’s My Name is Red could kick one or two (or three) off that list.

I am nothing but a corpse now, a body at the bottom of a well.

It gets better after that.

At least not in my opinion. Wasn’t there supposed to be a movie adaptation coming?

I didn’t know it kept such esteemed company.
