Happy Friday everyone!  If you haven't voted in Adam's poll about what he should read next, you should take a minute to do that before your weekend starts--I would encourage you to vote for Scalzi's book, but that would be such a tacky attempt to rig the poll that I better not do it....We will be announcing the winner on Monday, so get your votes in before then!

Also, special thanks go to Kat Howard, Aaron Miller, and forum contributor srussell for their great suggestions for this week's fun links:

• Neil Gaiman fans (read: everyone) take note: American Gods is in development as a series for HBO. (io9)

• Coolest balloon "animals" ever! (If It's Hip, It's Here)

• For you Dr. Who fans, this small boy might be a genius. (YouTube)

• Britney Spears meets Katniss Everdeen?  Bonus: includes both pie AND dead squirrel! (Galleycat)

• A special sneak peek of "Spidermonster: The Musical." (YouTube)

• In case our post about Game of Thrones wasn't enough George R. R. Martin for you, perhaps this will help. (The Mary Sue)

• Well, this looks interesting. (Pottermore)

• And finally, one of the best WoW parody videos I've seen (much funnier if you've seen the original inspiration...both have language that's NSFW). (YouTube)

Have a great weekend, everyone!
