LET'S TALK ABOUT 18th CENTURY (NAVAL) MEDICINE!
'cause that's one of the things I have been so not able to ferret out.
any pointers? my Fantastic Historical Geekery Kim Wilson Links List is mostly early 19th century. and I? I'm thinking... pirates.
I'm also thinking zombies, and ye olde brain troubles. *slight cackle*
If I find anything useful, myself, I'll stick it up here, too.
thxyall!

Yes, I am bringing a notebook with me to the Maine Maritime Museum.
What did you expect?
And it's best he knows the full extent of my dorkiness asap, while he's still got the chance to run away screaming.
Love, darlings, and I'll report back tonight.

Janeite Wit Bites Back
Oct. 11th, 2005 01:31 amEw, Austenwank. Careful, dear critics. We snub the uncultured like you for breakfast.
Though I'm sure they're just jealous because Janeites get the best hotels.
(thank you AustenBlog, as usual)

Sep. 17th, 2005 10:18 pmAside from writing 500 words of my Crane ficathon piece and editing that down to 300; eating the second-most-efficient dinner (possibly the most efficient, considering I had to walk all the way to Thorne instead of Moulton) I've done this year; folding mad amounts of laundry and thus impressing my roommate, lying on my bed reading the Batman comics George pulled for me; yammering with ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
shrieking_ell about bad muses, good costumes, and boy-wonders in girls' undies; and determining that Karma Chameleon is really about the Batman/Scarecrow/Robin triangle... (all of which was very scary and did not occur in precisely that order)...
I also made icons.
Finally making use of those "Prussian Butt" and "Austrian Thigh" uniform scans.
( 7 uniform icons: 3 bases and 4 texted )
.::shakes head::. ... "Loving would be easy if your colors were like my dream / Red, gold and green" ... I'm sorry. It's just. WAY. too...
yeah.
I'm out now.

Major brainfart over here, liek whoah. So, humor me if you please, and...
can a lieutenant have seniority aboard a ship yet still be younger than his junior officer(s)? not saying he's at the top of the ladder, just... a few rungs up. and fragmentationally (oh that is SO a word; shut up) younger than ... the rungs beneath him.
Ee?

May. 12th, 2005 03:08 pmThis site here has a great selection of period maps -- you know, the old kind where the countries look all funky and you have no idea what the names are nowadays -- and it's quite user-friendly. AFAIK there's no way to search for maps from a given timeframe, but I've only been poking around there for 20 minutes or so. Keyword search would probably work, I guess.
Anyhow, before I head for home, just thought this was a cool thing to share, as I've been getting muchly questioned recently as to whether I know where people could find maps as they were seen then.
V. cool!
