Tuesday Links

The lovely Ash, in her various web browsing over the weekend, found this post:

Now Ash and I, as I believe I've mentioned before, are engaged; but neither of us is particularly interested in a traditional wedding - neither of us has any interest in a church wedding... In fact, neither of us wants to get dressed up or have a reception or do any of the typical things. We're looking most seriously at simply getting married at a nice dinner with family and friends and going to the Renaissance Faire the next day. These three, living a highly alternative lifestyle (by today's standards, at least - I personally hope it *won't* be in, say, 5 or 10 years) have gotten there with a remarkably traditional ceremony. I'm impressed.

Back to the topic at hand, though, there's an update here:

This news makes me quite happy.

In other news, I started reading 50 Shades of Grey with a couple of my friends in a sort of... Book club. It's laughably bad, but I'll stick with it. Maybe I'll give it a proper review of my own once I'm done with it, but for now I'll just say I'm highly unimpressed with Christan Grey to date. It doesn't help that I keep calling him Dorian Grey in my head, and trying to compare them. I'll have to re-read The Picture of Dorian Grey as well...

I will say, reading 50 Shades is the first time since I finished them that I've missed Ann Rice's (Roquelaire's) Sleeping Beauty trilogy.

I've been going back and forth on the whole "once-a-week" vs. "twice-a-week" thing, and for now - with other pressures in my life - I think I'm going to concentrate on doing one article a week for Fridays. I will, however, endeavour to put another post or two up every week with interesting links, books, news articles, or whatever else. Maybe I'll change my mind again in another month, but for now let's see how it goes.
