1. In Manchester, some enterprising folk stumbled across an enormous amber necklace from what appears to be 4,000 B.C. They politely rant and rave and skillfully avoid the Ye Old Blinge joke I just made, because it’s not like the BBC are interviewing me, and let’s face it, if they were, I’d still say Ye Olde Blinge. Then I’d make finger guns at the reporter.

2. Michael Fassbender is in a new British miniseries. As soon as I can cobble some pictures together and find some awesome YouTube vids set to Evanescence songs, you’ll know more!

3. The Secret of Moonacre has some new stills, and I am falling OUT over these costumes. They are just gorgeous.

Quickly, name how many gorgeous things are in this picture!

I see the black coat first. I always see the coat before I see the person in it. It’s like a sickness.

And I joked before about steampunky elements here, but they are, it turns out, not joking around IN THE SLIGHTEST:

Many unnecessary buckles? Check. Random samurai armor? Check. Small, not-warm scarf? Check.

Also check Lyra on the right there; that is a pretty good stinkface – not as good as Nora’s stinkface, but the kid’s no slouch. I dig her Pre-Raphaelite silhouette and I LOVE her oversize embroidered cuffs. I even like the blue ribbon contrast, though it looks suspiciously like she’s wearing a moonstone pacifier and headed to Ye Olde Rayve.
