If I myself were more awesome, I would have more awesome lists today, but instead I’m sleepy and have only two. :) Ben & Jerry support Vermont’s new gay marriage law by renaming “Chubby Hubby” ice cream to “Hubby Hubby”. :) The BBC publishes photos of newly-discovered deep-water jellyfish. And aw, heck, just for a third, have you checked out National Geographic lately?
awesome & yet self-aggrandizing
Today’s awesome things are all about me (I swear this wasn’t the plan when I started this on Sunday). :) First, today is the official release day for WALKING DEAD, book four of the Walker Papers!

This is a week of awesome.
Alethea Kontis has posted pictures her father took of Discovery’s launch on Saturday night. A decade’s worth of discovery: New species in the Himalayas. Scott Lynch is serializing QUEEN OF THE IRON SANDS (not, as I earlier said, IRON SKIES, although that’s also an awesome title), a pulp fiction novel, online for free. (It is my goal to post at least three topics of awesome each day this week. The world has enough goddamned bad news.)
