This post was supposed to go up last Friday, but for some reason it didn’t and I was too sick to notice until, like, Tuesday. So here is a kind-of-belated, kind-of-on-time Friday Link Roundup for you.
io9 is a terrific site for all things geeky, but I have to admit I’m partial to their “holy crap wtf?” stories. If not for them, I would never have known the awesomeness of 1970s-era insane Star Trek coloring books.

Are you excited about The Hobbit movies? I am! This photostream on Flickr has some nice promotional stills, including Thranduil, the hottie king of the wood elves (and Legolas’ father).

And finally, do you like sword and sorcery and/or the Lovecraft mythos? Think about supporting the Sword & Mythos anthology from the fine folks over at Innsmouth Free Press. Given the high quality of their previous anthologies, this one will be a must-read, but only if it can get funded.
Ditto, Thrandal!!! Oh my!
There’s one thing you can count on with these movies: lots and lots of elvish eye candy. *happy sigh*
