Historian Snark; Also, a Hamster

Jan 28, 2006 18:09

Today I discovered history_spork, where historians dig gleefully into the mess that is history as told by Hollywood. Remember that godawful King Arthur movie that came out a few years ago and had both the Saxons of the far north and Pict!Guinevere wearing an outfit made of leather belts? It's here. So are Braveheart, Troy, Robin Hood: Prince of Thieves, and plenty more. It makes me happy inside.

I also found this Engrishy guide to the parts of the hamster. I found the fourth point down especially educational.

In other news, I've switched to Miranda IM as my IM client of choice. If I could only convince those skin-allowing plugins to work and provide me with teh_pretty, and if I could find a plugin to make message windows stay always on top, I'd be completely enthralled with it. As it is, my enthrallment is only at about 90%.

The fact that I am at the local college from 7:30am to 6:00pm most days is starting to wear on me, I think. I've spent most of the day in a sleepy stupor. Time for another coffee infusion.
