First: Kitestring App is actually a website where you can ask to be sent a text at a predetermined time... and which will contact an emergency number you determine with a message you write if you don't answer.


Second, and totally disconnected: Today I played hooky and went to the Fort Frederick Market Fair, aka "Colonial re-enactor mega-mall." A good thing I came home from 221B Con with several hundred dollars, because they're all gone now!

I went wanting to get: regency short stays, a chemise, a gown, a short gown, some pretty pottery pie plates, a camping-style dutch oven, a cooking knife, a pot or two, a floorcloth, an apron (or two), maybe a sewing pattern, and a meal.

I came home with: a linen chemise, 2 blue and white pottery pie plates, a cooking knife, 2 tin-lined pots, 2 floorcloths, a full-outfit servant sewing pattern (chemise, short gown, petticoat, pocket, cap), a green glass bottle (free refills of cider with your meal), 2 bars of natural soap, a beautiful pottery mixing bowl, a few wooden spoons, a green marbellized leather billfold (because I don't take my big wallet and credit cards to cook over the hearth), a couple of colonial graters, a plain pocket, and sunburn.

Now I know why people at Riversdale rave about Market Fair. It was a helluva drive, so this won't be an annual pilgrimmage, but I'm feeling much more outfitted for the Kitchen Guild!

I'm also patting myself on the back because even though I spent quite a lot of money, it all came out of the con kitty and not the general spending budget, and although tempted by many things, I stuck entirely with either kitchen guild materials of the floorcloths (which I wanted for the living room). The second floorcloth was an impulse, but M *does* tend to spill water a bit as she waters the plant in the living room...

“Are you honestly suicidal?” the dragon hissed in annoyance, a thin ribbon of steam coming from its mouth.

“I came up here to be eaten by a dragon,” John said, “I’m hardly expecting to be improved by the experience.”

....

The dragon sat down in front of him, his head still slightly above the level of John’s. “I believe the traditional gift is a virgin sacrifice.”

"Yeah, well...” John’s cheeks went a bit red, “it’s a small village, and there’s not really much to do when it’s not harvest-time.”

They both studied medicine. John owned the JWatson username in six places. Joan seven. Occasionally poignant, occasionally hilarious.

Lifehacker pointed at an interesting set of questions to do your year-in-review -- not what have you accomplished per se, but:

What went well for me last year?
What accomplishments did I have?
How did I improve my life?
How did I improve my relationships?
What did I remove from my life that is now making me happier?
What do I wish I had taken more time for?

It's not a bad set of questions.

I'm also thinking that I'm going to move the Sunday achievements/goals to Goal Happy. It's a web-based goal and achievement counter, which means there will be less paperwork and typing than the current method, which is, well, paper and typing. I don't know if it'll output anything I can post to LJ, or if anyone is going to feel particularly bereft if I stop posting that stuff here. Sign up is free, and you can set your goals to daily, weekly, or monthly.

I'll keep up with the Little Free Library posts. I'm looking into library apps so that I can scan books in and out - any recs?

The next season of Cabin Pressure is being recorded right now, although I don't know when it will wend its way to American iTunes to join the other seasons or if there will be a CD. Still, a few links worth passing on:

What it says on the tin: Recording Cabin Pressure Series 4 – Spoiler Free Report
http://www.sherlockology.com/news/2012/12/3/cabin-pressure-report-03122012

Someone who was there has typed up a spoiler-free Cabin Pressure Recording Gag Reel

And this will show up in the next Sherlock fic rec, but for completeness, the Sherlock/Cabin Pressure crossover Toronto

I love Northanger Abbey - it's actually one of my favorites. But I also love [livejournal.com profile] sarahtales spoofing on gothic novels (there's link to her Jane Eyre takedown somewhere around here, and again on the link I'm about to give).

So it's two, two, two great things in one when Northanger Abbey appears on Gothic Tuesday.

A couple of reasons why you should read it:

In vain I have struggled. It will not do. You must allow me to parody NORTHANGER ABBEY.

JANE AUSTEN: Catherine Morland, not really heroine material. She was kind of plain and not that bright.
BELLA SWAN: She was just before her time, yo.

...

HENRY’S SISTER ELEANOR: Hey girl, how’s it going?
CATHERINE: I spend my days mostly writing ‘Mrs Catherine Tilney’ in my trapper keeper, and climbing out of windows to avoid John Thorpe. If you see John, tell him I’m washing my hair and I’ll keep washing my hair until L’Oreal is invented, because I’m worth it.
ELEANOR: Got it.

...

(and my personal favorite, out of a tough field of competition)
CATHERINE: Uh, what kind of abbey do you call this? Nothing is mouldering!
GENERAL TILNEY: I’d have serious words with housekeeping if something was.
