lea_hazelThis linkspamming is becoming a habit.
I am very looking forward to this movie, because how often do you get films about pagan astronomer ladies? Even though it will likely be less fascinating than her actual life, and much more dramatized, and the trailed is just ~lolarious~.
Another lady scientist they should make a movie about: Saint Hildegard von Bingen. I first heard of her when I was reading up on the early history of geology (my dad is a geologist) and she was one of the first people in Medieval Europe to collect and catalog minerals and the like. She was also remarkable on many other levels, and it appears she had her fingers in just about every science and art that was available to her.
Out of all possible X meets Y premises, X-Men meets Little House on the Prairie wins. Especially when it looks like this.
I haven't read this review of Persuasion all the way through yet, but so far I've found it fascinating and insightful.
When you describe a book that "opens with a dispute over how much of a father's body should be eaten by each family member", it makes me want to read it.
shiegra wrote about vampires, heroines and sex in a way that compelled me to subscribe to her. I was compelled.
I swear I will finish that meta post sometime soon. No, I don't know why I'm suddenly fascinated by vampires, I just am.
