North and South (Elizabeth Gaskell)
There is no finer period romance than the BBC's production of the Elizabeth Gaskell Victorian novel "North and South" starring Richard Armitage and Daniela Denby-Ashe.

Asclepiades of Samos
Another poem that reminds me of Sansan. The ancient Greek poet Asclepiades of Samos. A bit of a vision of Sansan in the last canon novel "A Dream of Spring." I'm thinking of commissioning an artist to draw this with Sansa/Sandor.

Rabbit Condo and Picspam
lilfeather1994 asked about my rabbits and their Bunny abode.
I purchased a bunny abode from Leith Petworks for my first rabbit Fenris. Its a 3 feet by 6 feet condo, 3 stories with carpet. Rather expensive (though all parts were made in the US). The rabbits love to sleep in it, but I've expanded their space to a 5x8 x-pen upon the advice of my local animal ( Read more... ) -

I wholeheartedly agree with the Amazon ( Read more... ) -

Archiving Links - Ta-Nehisi Coates and the American Civil War
I'm really enjoying Ta-Nehisi Coates blogs about the American Civil War. Its such a huge time suck for me, second only to the time suck that is ASOIAF fandom.
TNC, as I'll call him from now on, is a senior editor at Atlantic Magazine. He has been writing about his autodidactic exploration of the American Civil War for 3 years now. He writes about ( Read more... ) -
Archiving Links - Favorite Map of Westeros
My favorite maps of ASOIAF are the fan-made maps made by Westeros.org poster Other-in-Law. There are small villages (like Hag's Mire) that I haven't seen in any other map, heraldic shields, sigils, clever inside jokes (White Harbor has a picture of Lord Manderly eating a pie, hahaha). Good resource for fanfiction writers. Too bad that negative ( Read more... )
