Yarr!

What can I say? I'm in a pirate-y mood lately because, well, I'm researching pirates. If you don't like it, you are reading the wrong Livejournal! :D

So, Ken Kinkor is not only prompt with e-mailing stuff, but he is very friendly :D He send me a picture from the Ile Saint Marie pirate graveyard, even! It is later than my period, but interesting none-the-less. It has a very happy looking skull and crossed bones on it, and dates from the early nineteenth century. The epitaph reads "Joseph Pierre Lechartier, ne a Dulce, Dep. dela Manshe 1738, arrive sur la (ile? possibly type of boat name, in French ;p) La Normande le 1 Novembre 1782. Mort at S- Marie le 14 Mars 1834. Par som ami Hulin (Picture of skull and crossedbones with sperm-like apostrophe squiggles) Passant prier pour lui."

Poor guy died on St. patty's day :o Anyway, it was cool.

Any the happy fun people at ferncanyon press helped me find him! I already said yay to them, but I say it again! They have an awesome store there too. They have *pirate airfresheners* yes! really!

and other cool stuff, like ties, and flags, and umbrellas, and bandannas that make me think of Dean!

It is all there.

And I think I know how to embed links now, but I think it involves actually downloading the thingy, as opposed to always updating just from the net. *hop* I'm not that ambitious...

Also, I found a really tasty black bean stir-fry sauce that tastes like Mei's, mmmmm...

All in all a good day. I even had cookies for breakfast! mmm. Mary's chocolate chip/chunk cookies... And I worked on making leather boots for medieval stuff! I have an awl! Life is good, wooh!

I have a cunning Plan...

Famous last words, I know, but it is true! And my plan is only about watching movies, so I doubt any particularly interesting wacky hijinx will ensue.

I am supposed to watch Gladiator and Spartacus (The *long* version) for school, so I've borrowed them from my proff, and hope top be able to watch them tonight and tomorrow at Mary and Ian's. I haven't told them this yet, but I'm about to go up there to get mary fro dance class, so I'm hopefull. I've got everything I'll need, because it will probably just make more sense for me to stay there. So, movies, books for school, Tam Lin (which Mary lent me and I haven't had a chance to start reading yet), clothes for tomorrow, and even the stuff I'll need for my vampire game tomorrow night. I figure even if I don't end up staying, I can just stash that stuff there and save me a nother trip of luggiung it up the hill.

And so, off I go, to hopefully carry out my very cunning plan... And also, yay, Gladiattor :D
