So someone just anonymously left me a comment (hi if you're reading this!) to my May 20 post wherein I discovered that someone had plagiarized my Titanic paper, and that prompted me to look up this chick again to see how all that turned out. I never heard anything back from the head of her department after they e-mailed me saying they would ( Read more... )

I'm, um, slightly shocked. I just found a plagiarization of my paper "The Impact Of The Titanic Upon International Maritime Law" on Fictionpress.com.

Here's mine, as published on Encyclopedia Titanica (my proudest achievement ever):
Impact of Titanic Upon International Maritime Law

Here's the rip-off:

Blow-by-blow commentary and review, or, the usual.

This is how awesomely geeky eclecticmuse and I are:

I told her I was making Harry/Lucy icons, and she first thought I meant Harold Bride and his wife Lucy, instead of Harold and Lucy Saxon from Doctor Who.

I beamed happily, once I stopped laughing. :D

I wanted to post this last week, but I kept putting it off plus I've been sleeping a lot, so eh. Anyway, last week was important to me because it marked the 95th anniversary of the Titanic disaster. (Technically it was very early yesterday morning, but I like to include the entire voyage.) It's important to me because I've been fascinated by it ( Read more... )

My niece-in-law (is that a real term?) apparently wants me to write a Titanic-themed murder mystery game for her birthday party. At first I was pretty much O_o but then I decided what the hell, I'll give it a shot. Though I have no clue why she specifically wants it Titanic-themed. Don't know if she knows (or remembers) that the Titanic is one of ( Read more... )

I am a giant dumbass.

So I was finishing up my new series of screencaptures from Titanic, singling out My People (the deck officers and wireless operators), and I get to the penultimate scene back on the ship. And there was First Officer Murdoch, all gentle smiles, and I just lost it. Dammit, I cry and/or get choked up every single time I see that ( Read more... )

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA I am so amused.

Was doing a random Google search on Harold Bride because I'm bored and just now did a massive double-take at spying my own name in one of the result summaries. Looks like I'm a contributor to Wikipedia! Or something.

Wikipedia: Harold Sydney BrideEheh, look at that, I'm co-author with Parks. (He's famous now, ( Read more... )

Felt the need to make this icon after the dreams I mentioned in my previous post:

Had a dream about a lot of Titanic cut scenes that don't exist. Most of it was Boxhall or Phillips and Bride with some Murdoch thrown in for good measure. I wibbled. Badly. Even while said "cut scenes" were in progress. (In my dream I kept replaying them over and over and over ( Read more... )
