verbminxWatching Frida; it's better than I expected. Was going to go to a movie earlier tonight (well, it would be starting now), but I got sucked in. N-cat is watching it too. I'm not joking; there are certain movies he'll watch over and over.
Some of you may have noticed that I'm actually reading my friends pages this week. I had been really lax about doing it when packing and moving. I made a New Year's Resolution to try to read around 100 entries per day. That way, I'm not overwhelmed, but I do see a lot of what people are saying. I stopped reading a few very high-traffic communities. Right now the only ones I read that get a lot of posts are![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-community.gif)
fruits and lotricons. 50bookchallenge is also quite busy. I had to let craftgrrl and ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
hipdomestics go for the time being.
Anyway - some good links. Most probably stolen from MeFi or b0ingb0ing as usual.
Common-Place: a quasi-academic (good research but not completely bogged down with jargon) journal of American antiquarian (IE, pre-1900) studies. A lot of smart writing about race and class in America in the 18th and 19th centuries. Worth a look.
This Magical Book - Victorian/Edwardian pop-up, tunnel, star, etc books. These are still popular forms today, so check out some glorious antique examples.
List of Lists - All the lists (best books, movies, music, theater, etc) from all the publications.
The King William's College General Knowledge Quiz for 2003 - this must have been impossible before Google. Here's a page of suspected answers. I don't know if The Guardian has published the real answers yet.
Lords of the Rhymes - um. rap "straight outta hobbiton." this is very wrong.
NetHack - oh, the excitement and dread of being chased around by ASCII symbols!
Adriafil Yarn Co. - scary (yet free!) Italian knitting designs.
