I've been reading through some stuff from my library...

I sort of realized just now that I've neglected the Brothers Grimm
(Minor historical fact: the "German" fairy tales were actually collected from the Frank/French)

Sort of helps fill in a cultural gap for me.

[Den]

Grimm's fairy tales were messed up. I remember having an old hardcover copy many years ago... I never could bring myself to read some of the stories all the way through.

[Lawtan]

Honestly, they never seemed that messed up to me. People always say they are, but in comparison to several things that came before and since, they gravitate toward "mild"

[Tam I am]

I had an illustrated hardcover edition. I loved the pictures in that book-they were my first exposure to semi-accurate garments of the middle ages.

And I'm not reading either of those books that I listed there now. I finished 'em both. And liked 'em. LOL Thinking what I want to read next now. Oh, and neither of those were hardcopy editions!

Den, you want messed up? Watch 'Hansel and Gretel: Witch Hunters'.

I'm back from Japan!!!

[Den]

Welcome back! How was it?

[Lawtan]

Fauxreal is back? FAUXREAL IS BACK!!! *Throws a party in the Library*

[Den]

Woohoo! Party! *brings cupcakes*

[Tam I am]

Fo real? Sweeeeeeet!

Ugh, no more cake though. I was cutting and serving cake today.

[Den]

Today, the world's a bit quieter, and sadder. Casey Kasem has passed away. T_T

[Tam I am]

First Jazz, Wheeljack, Sparkplug, Breaker, and Starscream. Now Cliffjumper and Bluestreak.

*hugga Den*

[Fauxreal]

PARTY! *throws balloons everywhere*

... I knew I should have bought those bubbles from Target.

[Tam I am]

It's become a wake for a VA now too, Faux. *offers you the highly caffeinated punch*

[Fauxreal]

Nooo nooo! No caffeine! But I'll have the non-caffeinated one. :)

[Tam I am]

Okay! It... has marshmallows floating in it for some reason. The kind with black current jam in them.

[Fauxreal]

FANCY! That sounds so freaking fancy ~ I love it.
