Arts Time’s A Wastin’
A friend of mine turned me on to this game called “fastr, a flickr game,” in which a collection of images tagged with the same title on the public scrapbook flickr appear, one by one, and you have to guess what they have in common. It’s usually the object in the picture that is the most obvious (gum, for a girl blowing a huge bubble), but you also have to contend with artiness and things that are just plain wrong (a turtle isn’t a fish!).
It didn’t totally work on my Safari browser—my points kept jumping erratically between zero and my actual total—but it’s très fun.
Dear Annie:
I heart you- I've decided that you're officially my favourite reviewer EVER. I've read _The Stranger_ online for a long long time now, and I have to say that your reviews are always interesting, intelligent, and insightful. Keep up the good work, sister.
I hasten to add that I couldn't agree more with one Mr. MacFarlane's comments in this week's Letters to the Editor section. Megan Seling's film reviews are trash, trash, trash- uninspired drivel, in my opinion. Someone needs to alert her to the fact that she's in the wrong line of work.
