no seriously, where did all these open tabs come from?

Two things I find rather enchanting, in part for how much they indicate that, no really, people of my grandparents' generation were also people like us, and their entertainment was not all that different from our entertainment, when it had a chance to be: antarcticlust's post Our Scandalous Great Grandmothers: Feminism & Pre-Code Hollywood and, via copperbadge, archive.org's collection of early film blooper reels, from 1936-1947.

And furthermore, this awesomely fantastic photo of female firefighters at Pearl Harbor. ♥

emilyray has written an awesome story about dragons, princesses, and lawyers' children: A Love Story.

And I have just now finished reading Pearl North's first book, Libyrinth.

HOMG, y'all. It's an entire book about BOOKS. AND LITERACY. AND GIRLS KICKING ASS AND GETTING THE BOY AND/OR GIRL ACCORDING TO THEIR INDIVIDUAL PREFERENCES. (Um, is that a spoiler? Sorry! IT'S AWESOME!) THERE ARE ENDNOTES, OKAY. ENDNOTES. Never has Ibid. so warmed my heart. Also: hijjinks! And singing! And people locked in total opposition to each other who both have understandable but opposite goals and values. Also, a lot of books. (Um, bad things happen to some of the books, but I am going to assume that secretly there is some kind of LOCKSS system going on and they are not really lost forever. La la la!)

Also, just for minoanmiss: BULL DANCING. HELL YES, BULL DANCING.

Go! Read!

So now things are getting interesting.

I missed last week's Criminal Minds due to driving to Michigan for a weekend of drinking, not getting sick, and not writing, all in the excellent company of some of my favorite people.

So I watched it tonight, and, well now.

( I abuse punctuation a little and then Iulia accuses me of being predictable )

PS, that ellipsis under the cut tag? All shoved up next to the word to the left of it? Is kind of killing me right now. I maybe have been doing too much proofreading lately.
