Remember last week when I said, “Three days later post three showed the first chapter of Pride and Prejudice with nouns, adjectives, and adverbs replaced by those from Moby Dick. And I made addition and multiplication tables for Base 12 math.” and there were no links? There should be links now. And at some point I’ll fix last week’s post.
After the blizzard that was responsible for most of last week’s posts, I wrote, “And then rain,” because that’s what we got and it’s just another example the weather not making sense anymore.
And everything else was fiction related in some way or other. I stated the obvious fact about your zombie apocalypse team, that being that you’re on it. I wrote an ending for Prince Caspian to go with the different beginning I’d written earlier. I watched the movie Vanishing on 7th street and split my response to it into two posts. The first being something that gets repeated in a lot of movies which I don’t like. The second is what I would have done with the movie. And lastly I finally got around to putting the beginning of Where Antichrists Come From, written sometime in October 2009 I think, on the blog.

I posted about the new Canadian banknotes, which are less demonstrative of diversity than they may have been. Some ideas were rejected for reasons which make no sense to me at all.
Trigger warning: Violent crime (murder); miscarriage of justice.
I also posted about the Maamtrasna muders. This was a shockingly brutal crime in the west of Ireland 130 years ago. Myles Joyce, who was hung for the murder, was almost certainly innocent. He was a small farmer in rural County Galway, and spoke no English. He was defended in a court in Dublin by a solicitor and barristers who spoke no Irish.
Thing You Can Do
There’s a big Climate Change related rally on Sunday in DC. Yes, this Sunday. As in depending on when you’re reading this it could be tomorrow, today, yesterday, or further in the past. Really short notice I know. Sorry.
In Case You Missed This
Unofficial New England Slacktivite get together moved to Wednesday (so if you’re interested say so here, and hurry), official one still planned for next month (if you’re interested in that say so at the same place, but not as much hurry required.).
Also, even shorter notice, if anyone is attending the big Climate Rally in DC on Sunday say so in this thread and you might be able to arrange a meetup with storiteller.
(a) I like Storiteller’s piece on cooking (and shall say so there shortly). (b) Did my e-mail go awry again? (I sent it in yesterday from my work account, not my normal one.)
TRiG.
Coleslaw’s Side Effects link is actually to Rained Out.
@ TRiG
I’m not totally sure if the problem is on your end our ours*, but try emailing again.

Crap. Should be fixed now.
