*coughspluttercough* Ok, am dying of PLAGUE and/or TYPHUS! Or, y'know, flu. I just can't seem to shake this one :( Damn viruses (viri?)!

I've been reading a very interesting book ozfille sent me (thanks again, ozfille!) called Mother Clap's Molly House, about gay subcultures in England during the 18th and 19th centuries.

You have internetly given me the PLAGUE! AGHHH!

I mean that. No, really. *sneezes*

Gluten free ricotta pancakes sounds quite nice... but then again I don't cook. But then again, my mother does! Recipe!

PLAGUE BUDDIES! YAY! *sneezecoughwheeze*

Sorry *looks sheepish*

They're loevly, really. Low fat (if you don't put caramalised bananas on top *g*) and delicious. I'll (finally) remember to put the recipe up tonight or tomorrow, promise!

I know *sigh* I need to put all my old Dean icons back up...

[ozfille]

Have to agree with you about the offhand manner the author treated male/male rape and I found the book on occasion somewhat repetitious, but overall it wasn't that bad.

[excantare]

Yeah, there was a lot of repetition that could have been used to discuss some of the cases in depth, but it was very interesting. I thought the idea that it was the sodomiser, rather than the sodomisee who was gay/effeminate/immoral etc. was intriguing, as it's the complete opposite in Rome and modern western society. Huh. Maybe a comparative study is in order *g*

[nautacarus]

Oh no, plague! I hope you're feeling better. Doc Martin + chocolate sounds like a good start, I have to say...

[excantare]

Or typhus. Could go either way *g*

How's the search for Yes, Minister slash coming?

[nautacarus]

No more luck, though I did find someone saying 'the world doesn't need YM slash'... :(

[excantare]

YES IT DOES! The world always needs rareslash. What a foolish person *shakes head*
