pinesandmaples: A Lady in Her Bath [NSFW picture]

440 years ago, this woman let M. Clouet into her personal space to create a memento for the family. Chances are her husband hung this portrait in his study so he could admire his wife and her virtues. And by "virtues", I don't actually mean "boobs." The admiring husband of 1571 would be interested in the fruit of his wife's womb before her bust came into the picture.

berangere posted in archaeology: Legislation : preventive archaeology, which answers "I would really like to learn more about archeology in cities. They're building a new library here and they're letting the archaeologists in to do some work before they start building. What do archaeologists look for, and what's it like with a really short turn around time?" for France & Japan.

raven wrote a Cordelia-centered Vorkosigan fic which I quite liked: Fic:: Walking Away From Omelas [Vorkosigan]. There's so much good Cordelia-centered Vorkosigan fic, I'm beginning to wonder if my issues with the series were more the time & place I read it in.

adsartha is writing a series on migraines. Part Two is Migraine Myths.

crankyoldman did a post up about beginning sewing: Sewing and Cosplay Week: Beginner Sewing. I am noting this for later. (via ysabetwordsmith, for all your randomly interesting linking needs.)

I am loving silver_spotted's posts about reading history books. You can see them here.

Today I am feeling that all the energy inside of me cannot possibly be contained by my skin. This is a very uncomfortable feeling. And I am going back to the archives in the hopes that there will be fewer people on the good microfilm machines because I got quite ill yesterday from the bad ones. So many things to look at. I'm trying not to be distracted by the trespassing & the cows.

Your link to silver_spotted's posts doesn't work?

I get what you mean about all the energy bubbling under the skin- in my case, it's partially because I walked five miles yesterday (hush, that's a lot of me).

Thank you, I fixed it!

(I used to love HTML because it made me feel so smart to sort it out. Now I hate it because it is so damned finicky.)

Heck, I never walk that far. I don't even walk to the archives anymore. (Of course, this is because I carry ALL THE THINGS and I can either walk that far or I can carry things, but I can't do both.)

That makes sense. I only walked so far because I have no money for bus tickets, but I'm enjoying getting my muscles back to what they were a few years ago.
