  • There's a really kickin' article on fairy tales that I stumbled across via [livejournal.com profile] bodlon.
    I came to college intending to focus on fairy tales and that hasn't really been the case. This makes me want to get back to that because it's what I love and it's so fascinating.

  • I've seen this post on drop-down menus for gender and how to make them better linked to a lot lately. Some good ideas, some not so much; either way it's an interesting read. The degree to which I find this problem of gender drop-down menus (or radio buttons, or whatever) unavoidable and completely infuriating is overwhelming.

  • I don't know if this is supposed to be Sherlock Holmes fandom or Supernatural fandom but it is HILARIOUS.

  • If you're around Brighton, MA, Holly Black, Kelly Link, and Cassandra Clare are doing a panel to raise money for the Fransican Hospital for Children. It's also the only promotional appearance Holly Black is making for The Poison Eaters which is out this month.

  • I've discovered that I REALLY like Bigelow Earl Grey. More than Twinings Earl Grey which is what I've been drinking for years. Mmm tea...

  • Things my parents were unhappy about last night: my ear piercings, the fact that I happened to only wear earrings in one ear that day, the fact that I didn't write my dad a story on demand (I write either gay things or really dark things, neither of which tendencies I feel like discussing with my family), that I'm going to see my "internet friends", that I'm not going to be home for my birthday, that I wasn't dressed warmly enough. Also, my dad has decided that my ears are pointy. Like an elf. And that this is a fault. I don't make this shit up you guys.

    P.S. My ears aren't pointy.

Sheer. Brilliance.

Anybody who likes poetry and fairy tales needs to follow that link. And if you would really like a treat, go to the archives, go to Summer 08, and listen to the epilogue, The Night Journey by Terri Windling. (Yes, listen. Click on those blue dots next to the titles to hear the poems aloud, which is unfortunately not immediately apparent.)
