Snowday links.
Just a few, as Josh and I spent a chunk of the afternoon watching Moonrise Kingdom for the first time. The lightning strike made me concerned that the whole adventure was in his head, a la Brazil. Because of the threat of electroshock, I mean. But probably I'm being crazy. Anyway. Links!
