Weekly Roundup: Monsters, Songsters, Actors, Flacks. and Tech Support

• Public relations is mostly just about being real. A breakthrough, that.
• Patrick Stewart as Macbeth? Ooooh, yes please.
• In Japan, March 3 is Girls’ Day, or Hina-matsuri – “hina” meaning girl or princess. March 3 is my birthday, and “Sarah” means princess. (No point. I just liked that.) Also, Ronan Keating and I share a birthday. In addition to our soulmate connection, of course. (I digress.)
  
• Cookie Monster on NPR. Fabulous.
• flickrvision and twittervision. Totally addictive mashups.
• Sirens magazine. Biting, funny, true.
• Running iTunes off an external hard drive is not working for me. I am afraid to investigate further tonight, but it appears the library is suddenly missing all kinds of random songs… again. If I have to copy the whole thing over from the backup external… again… I shall be displeased. It takes days to sort out the duplicates. Drop me a note if you can help/commiserate.
