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.
