Didn’t Post Any Links in December: A Links Round-Up

Look. LOOK. Is it much too late for links about Netflix Christmas movies? Yes. Obviously. But in my defense, I was very tired in December and did not post links round-ups then, and I don’t think you should be deprived of good strong links just because they are no longer timely.

Starbucks and FanCon: A links round-up

I swear I am going to get back on a normal links round-up schedule, friends and fronds. Some of these links are a bit, ahem, old. However! If you are on the hunt for an explanation of what the hell happened to Universal Fan Con or what is up with skin care marketing, I’ve got you covered. In thrilling news, Dewey’s 24 Hour Readathon IS TOMORROW. Can you tell I’m excited? I am SO excited. I have an aunt coming into town, so I don’t know exactly how many hours I’ll end up being able to do, but I’m excited…
