Pretty good day

[cleolinda]

I started writing up a list of Specific "Fifteen Minutes" Footnotes That Still Need Work (links, research, a quick polish, whatever), and the Dracula one's kind of long, the Van Helsing one's okay, the POA one is really short, and then you to get to the King Arthur list, and it says, I am not kidding,

Total mess. Seriously, you have like 6 pages of unincorporated research. Get basic intro together.
HAVE YOU DONE ANY WORK ON THIS AT ALL?
Pelagius?

And then I just said to hell with it and took the dogs for a walk.

Today's journal flashback: a handful of shorter movie bits, Wicker Park ("A movie I haven't seen in five minutes, if you will"), the cracked-out Jurassic Park 4 script (really honestly truly, not making it up), and... hey, why not a discussion of Picnic at Hanging Rock? Can't think why not.

Earlier today, because I don't want y'all to overlook it: Where my synesthetes at?

From mercat: "There are several different movements in action to try to save Pushing Daisies, so I thought I'd link you to them: Help Bees Help Daisies, Pies for Poverty, Honey for the Homeless, and a mail-in (more info)." And I'll tell you truthfully, now is the time to act. You know, not several months later like the Moonlight fandom, bless them.

And from entropy_and_me: David Tennant officially leaving 'Doctor Who.' I'll just be in my scream-proof anti-fangirl bunker now if you need me.

More linkspam, now that I have crushed half my readership's souls:

I'm not sure if you care/actually are looking for stuff on Pelagius, but...

[jessica551155.livejournal.com]

If you want an easy (and not as problematic as it sounds) footnote for your Pelagius needs, check out the Catholic encyclopedia. http://www.newadvent.org/cathen/11604a.htm I'm in a PhD program in medieval history (and decidedly not Catholic or in a religious program), and this is one of the standard places to check basic biographies/facts/etc, so it's not like the confessional bias is considered to be a big deal. The very end of the article even includes a brief mention of Germanus/Germanius and his trip to Britain to get rid of the heresy.
