As sort of noted by the links, that apparently is not the case - in fact, a major development (spaces between words and punctuation) were established at that time, making it easier to read works.

Huh. Well, there was also the theory that it was called the Dark Ages because of the Black Death. (Yes, I know, I should just read. But the migraine is trying to make itself known. Ask Den. I've barely even been RPing).

Between the two of us, Hurricane Season is kicking our butts in various new, inventive ways. *curls up in blanket nest*

Three tries before I remember what I'm in the kitchen looking for. I stood in HMV today with a blank look on my face as I slowly and painstakingly backtracked a thought trail to see which movie I wanted to buy.

;_;
I can sympathize. Sort of been switching back and forth for my mother and myself.

*Gives Tam and Den hugs*

*wanly* Yay, hug! *rubs eyes* Ugh, how can EYES feel shaky?

*flopsnuggles Lawtan* I'm swiftly losing the ability to 'can' today. went to what was supposed to be a group interview only to find out that they'd misplaced my phone number, so I never got a time to come in... and I just feel tired and cruddy.

It's a tired and cruddy convention in Lawtan's library.

What book're you reading right now? The non interactive books I'm reading is 'The Absentee', by Maria Edgeworth. And This one, which I think would be good for the library here. It's a lovely old book, and reading it that way was about as good as reading it in hardcopy.

I've been reading through some stuff from my library...

I sort of realized just now that I've neglected the Brothers Grimm
(Minor historical fact: the "German" fairy tales were actually collected from the Frank/French)

Sort of helps fill in a cultural gap for me.

Grimm's fairy tales were messed up. I remember having an old hardcover copy many years ago... I never could bring myself to read some of the stories all the way through.

Honestly, they never seemed that messed up to me. People always say they are, but in comparison to several things that came before and since, they gravitate toward "mild"

I had an illustrated hardcover edition. I loved the pictures in that book-they were my first exposure to semi-accurate garments of the middle ages.

And I'm not reading either of those books that I listed there now. I finished 'em both. And liked 'em. LOL Thinking what I want to read next now. Oh, and neither of those were hardcopy editions!

Den, you want messed up? Watch 'Hansel and Gretel: Witch Hunters'.

I'm back from Japan!!!

Welcome back! How was it?

Fauxreal is back? FAUXREAL IS BACK!!! *Throws a party in the Library*

Woohoo! Party! *brings cupcakes*

Fo real? Sweeeeeeet!

Ugh, no more cake though. I was cutting and serving cake today.

Today, the world's a bit quieter, and sadder. Casey Kasem has passed away. T_T

First Jazz, Wheeljack, Sparkplug, Breaker, and Starscream. Now Cliffjumper and Bluestreak.

*hugga Den*

PARTY! *throws balloons everywhere*

... I knew I should have bought those bubbles from Target.

It's become a wake for a VA now too, Faux. *offers you the highly caffeinated punch*

Nooo nooo! No caffeine! But I'll have the non-caffeinated one. :)

Okay! It... has marshmallows floating in it for some reason. The kind with black current jam in them.

FANCY! That sounds so freaking fancy ~ I love it.

XD I've bought those marshmallows at the Chinese market at the big mall here.

Marshmallows are nom. I'll have to see if the local Oriental market that I like to go to has the filled kind or not.

They have all kind of flavoured ones in Japan. So tasty.

XD They probably had more flavours here too. I'm just a sucker for black currant jelly, and stopped looking as soon as I saw it.

What skin is that, Faux?

*pokes around* Hi all! Nice to see you back, Fauxbby! *huggles*

*passes through on her way to somewhere else*

Tam it's a mix of white skin, and Fisherking I believe.

My fingers are so sore. Trying to sew a 1/6th scale hoodie has taken its toll, but the end is in sight! I just have to finish embroidering the outline of a specific detail, then I can mail the doll and its hoodie to the con where a friend will take pictures so I'm sort of there in spirit.

Ahhh.

Hey, guys, quick. Anyone still need tickets? I've got nine, and nine won't buy me anything. LOL This'll be a give unless you wanna donate to the dressing Tam's avatar fund.

I looked, the oriental market I frequent doesn't have 'em. :/

Awww. No smarshsmallows, you mean?

yeah... :/ Oh, well. I'll keep looking.

I still need tickets Tam, how much?!

I... only got about three hours of sleep today. if that.

Sending 'em. Have 'em free, or donate what you wanna.

@Den. Awwww! *hugs the poor tired Den, who is a pretty blue flower*

Actually, I'd be willing to give my 10 tickets to someone, if they need it.
