Read my first Georgette Heyer today, again courtesy of the most excellent boojumlol.

And I'm back.

Had a minor crisis yesterday with being totally unable to get online all day. ( techie babbling. )

On Satdee, when Ari and I were humming and hahing in uncharacteristic indecision at Video Ezy*, I had a minor fannish explosion upon spotting The Scarlet Pimpernel, the 60s(?) Jane Seymour/Anthony Andrews version, on DVD. I know, I know, bad costumes, bad hair, possibly bad acting too.

Good fucking Lord!

Now I want to watch this show.
