Representative Theocracy....?
So, folks, just a thought, but I thought this country had a separation of church and state? I thought that we were supposed to be a representative democracy or republic at the least. It appears, however, that I was wrong. VP Candidate Palin seems to think that the war in Iraq is part of God's plan. I believe that this is called a Crusade or a Jihad ( Read more... ) -
Herbs, of all types, sorta
So I've been packaging herbs for Danelawtraders.com over the last couple of days (working is a reasonable break from moving in my mind) and I'm very impressed with the quality of what we have so far. If anyone has anything they would like to see us carry please send me your requests. You can even leave it as a comment right here if you want or ( Read more... ) -

Stormgaurd Anniversary Party
Just arrived home from the Stormgaurd aniversary party and let me tell you, Lady Arastorm and the rest of her family through one hell of a bash! If every party I went to was of this caliber I wouldn't have time for anything else. My heart felt thanks for their hospitality and generosity, not to mention the amazing conversation and company. -

Fun language. I've begun reteaching myself Latin so that I can actually translate some of the old texts I've come across.
Mulus silvam spectat. Silva mulum spectat, etc. -
Learning a new language, need a few suggestions
I'm looking to learn Icelandic as it is the closest language still in existence to the languages spoken by the Norse. Since my persona is an Anglo/Norse mariner/merchant I have a strong interest in learning one of the languages he would have been fluent in. If any one has any suggestions I would appreciate it. -
Holy Crap
So I went to Borders today, motorcycle jacket + cane and a whole crap load of pain, in an attempt to find the written report of the Birka dig. Baring that, the digs in York or the Sutton Hoo treasure, books you'd think would be in the archeology section right? No, any of the texts I was searching for would have to be ordered and none of them had a ( Read more... ) -
Off to work again
Well, I'm off to work again on a beautiful Tuesday night. I look forward to long hours of minimal human contact, during which I plan on finishing my two currant books. If any one has any good books pertaining to the 800's (nonfiction please) or just entertaining books to recommend please let me know.
Thank you,
