Pirates vs. RL

Sunday Morning Links...

Johnny Depp in Puerto Rico - still yummy.

Looking for Mr. Goodfish - column by Dave Barry from '04. I'd forgotten how funny he is. So cute!

Twelve Amazing Pencil Sculptures - the artist is...

Jennifer Maestre - and her website is beautiful, created by...

BonsaiStudios - very beautiful work here, design-wise, and they utilize...

Kuler.Adobe.Com - the most fabulous color palate tool I've ever come across! Take a look at...

this video showing some of Kuhler's features - holy cats! Where was this when I was picking paint for my front rooms?

Now I want to do a redesign of the school's website (I'm the office manager and the webmaster, don't you know).

On a totally unrelated note, alg mentioned she is reading A Little Princess by Frances Hodgson Burnett on Project Gutenberg, which has grown amazingly since the last time I checked it out -- they even have audiobooks available! Got to browsing there, of course, and ran across Adventures in the Rifle Brigade in the Peninsula, France, and the Netherlands from 1809 to 1815 by Captain J. Kincaid, who was a friend of that same Harry Smith that Georgette Heyer wrote about in The Spanish Bride, which tells the story of Harry and his young (very young, the LJ PTB would totally flag it) bride Juana's romance during the Napoleonic War. Here is the excerpt from Chapter 8 that tells about their first meeting and subsequent liaison...

( Real Romance )

One must have a heart of stone not to be moved by such a tribute. No wonder Georgette Heyer was inspired to write her novelization of the Smiths' lives.

Must get up now, going to breakfast with weemonkey6 and gingersnapps. Later, dudes! ;-D

-- Unknown wire artist tags workplace of oiseaurobyn -- so cool!

-- justawench has established potc_universe, ...for sharing information about all aspects of the POTC universe - from ships and sailing to period dress and slang - for the promotion of historical accuracy. Very much my cup of tea! Her latest post is "...about breeches, trousers, and stockings" -- justawench says, Being as obsessive as I am about costuming, it hurts my soul when POTC characters "unzip" their "pants.". Argh! I feel her pain. Join! Post! So much fun to research history for the improvement of Pirate!fic.

Gakked from the_dala: a great video: Women In Art...



And speaking of the_dala don't miss her new post-AWE WIP, Keeping Faith, Part I, and Part II -- wonderful!!

Also, captaintish has posted a list of good Jack/Anamaria fics.

Enjoy!!

ceria_taliesin pointed out this article on fanfiction by John Jurgensen of the Wall Street Journal. I am so not the only one, LOL! Which is what I used to think, of course.

spicedrum lifted this link about amazing Danish artist Peter Callesen from zarahemla

erinya has written Johnny/Keira RPF (Real Person Fic) -- A Little Knowledge, part 1 and part 2. I don't ordinarily read RPF, but hey, in erinya's hands it's a thing of beauty.

artaxastra posted the final chapter of To Trouble the Ocean, a great post-DMC story. Must add to the recs page.

That is all. Happy Saturday, everyone!
