snowflake_challenge prompt gave me the push I needed to finally test out Dreamwidth's poll functionality:
In your own space, create a quiz or a poll (or tell us your thoughts about answering quizzes/polls).
I decided to use it to help with my Sunday afternoon loose end indecision...
It's been a fun, if tiring weekend, filled with a huge amount of exercise (about which more in a later post), lots of slow, nice-smelling cooking, a film last night at home and another tonight in the community cinema, and enough time to finally catch up with a huge backlog of Dreamwidth and AO3 comments. I've read one book — a history of the Habsburgs (Martyn Rady), which was good, but which I felt rushed over a lot of complex things in a somewhat superficial way. I guess I'm not really someone for whom sweeping survey-style popular history writing really works — I prefer things to focus in detail on a shorter time period, or on a single piece of social or cultural history. The book was good for what it was, but it wasn't really suited to me.
As mentioned in my poll,once_upon_fic has opened for nominations. This is an exchange devoted to fairy tales, folk tales, mythology and similar. I participated last year, and really enjoyed it. There are more details in the nominations post.
