daily_snitch is searching for Helga Hufflepuff fanwork (fic and art) and resources - Apparently a translation of the French 'contre le gre', and presumably an expression in common use. "Against the grain" is generally supposed to have its origin in the use of a plane against the grain of the wood. ↩
- They had quarrelled (see August 26th). She, perhaps, was piqued at Lord Hinchingbroke's refusal "to compass the thing without consent of friends" (see February 25th), whence her expression, "indifferent" to have her. It is worthy of remark that their children intermarried; Lord Hinchingbroke's son married Lady Rochester's daughter. -- B. ↩
- Of the lady thus sought after, whom Pepys calls "a beauty" as well as a fortune, and who shortly afterwards, about the 4th February, 1667, became the wife of the Earl of Rochester, then not twenty years old, no authentic portrait is known to exist. When Mr. Miller, of Albemarle Street, in 1811, proposed to publish an edition of the "Memoires de Grammont," he sent an artist to Windsor to copy there the portraits which he could find of those who figure in that work. In the list given to him for this purpose was the name of Lady Rochester. Not finding amongst the "Beauties," or elsewhere, any genuine portrait of her, but seeing that by Hamilton she is absurdly styled "une triste heritiere," the, artist made a drawing from some unknown portrait at Windsor of a lady of a sorrowful countenance, and palmed it off upon the bookseller. In the edition of "Grammont" it is not actually called Lady Rochester, but "La Triste Heritiere." A similar falsification had been practised in Edwards's edition of 1793, but a different portrait had been copied. It is needless, almost, to remark how ill applied is Hamilton's epithet. -- B. ↩

Life went completely crazycakes, and you faced a never-ending series of demanding work or school projects, health emergencies, social obligations, and/or tech meltdowns. You managed to get a few good ideas down on paper, but never quite found your novel's rhythm. You're thinking of bowing out, and planning on giving it a try next year." That was me.

| juxfan | 3:54a | various stuffs Today is Turkey Day for my family because my brother leaves for Costa Rica in a couple of hours. My mom went nuts and cooked a whole turkey, made all the usual side dishes, steamed a bunch of Alaskan king crab legs, and bought three pies. There are three of us in my family. Three. Guess what I'm going to be eating for the next month. JBI folks, in addition to getting turkey tomorrow, you will be getting pirates. Well, those of you in the U.S. will. The rest of you get only pirates. It might've come out today if I hadn't been in a tryptophan-induced coma for most of the day. I wanted to clarify an issue that came up in the latest chapter of "Lessons in Obedience". Ethan will not be in a gangbang or other group sex scene. That sort of thing doesn't really fit in with the tone of Sin City. The conversation was included because it will be referenced later in the series. So those of you who were worried can breathe easier; those who were excited about it can write fanfiction, lol. I'm going to start keeping track of my autograph hobby here just for the fun of it. Nothing's happened yet (and nothing will tomorrow, boo), but you may find it interesting to see who I write to, how long it takes for a response, and what I finally receive. With my brother going to Costa Rica I get my bed back. I am so thrilled to finally be able to sleep on a mattress. Started selling my bracelets again. I fell off that for about six months, but I'm back into it at least for the holidays. I may post some here, but for now they're on another site. Guess that's it. Nap time! |

| bpalx_feed | 6:32p | Dark Delicacies Trunk Show Info On Sunday, November 29th, Dark Delicacies will be hosting Black Phoenix’s last trunk show of 2009. We will be bringing back some scents we still have stock of from previous 2009 shows, plus some bottles that we tapped for this event. In addition, there are four new Dark Delicacies scents that will be debuting at the event! - - - Upon being discharged from his restful stay at Arkham Sanitarium, Del Howison and his wife, Sue, the former archivist and curator of the Cabot Museum in Beacon Hill, opened up a bookstore in Arkham specializing in hard-to-find grimoires, occult treatises, and mystical antiquities. They also cater to the lighter interests of the Valley’s cultists, and carry a vast selection of macabre books, DVDs, and ceremonial memorabilia. Every Saturday at midnight, Sue hosts Tiny Terror Story Time -- including interactive ritual indoctrination for tots AND milk and cookies! Each week features the songs, stories, and rites of a different Outer God or Great Old One! Fifteen years later, they have twelve stores across the Miskatonic Valley, and one in sunny Burbank, CA! STORY TIME AT DARK DELICACIES Heavy oak shelving, cracked leather bindings, incense-soaked parchment, ancient inks, baneful aromatic herbs, and crumbs of spilled sugar-glazed lemon butter cookies that have been accidentally dragged from the kiddie section of the store. SUE’S GREAT OLD PUPPET SHOW Sue’s adorable Cthulhu hand puppets and whirling Nyarlathotep marionettes help kids learn about ancient and terrible extraterrestrial beings! A wacky way to introduce your little ones to forbidden blood-chilling rites! Hot cocoa, tiny marshmallows, white glue, stick-on googly eyes, and felt! In 2000, Del Howison opened the Nameless City Drive-In theatre in Arkham, and eventually expanded to Innsmouth, Dunwich, and Kingsport. While Del focuses on blockbuster horror hits in his theatres, he also shows documentaries of local interest, and hosts the Dylath-Leen Film Festival which showcases the work of both prominent and up-and-coming Miskatonic Valley filmmakers. As a public service, Del provides shuttle transportation to Arkham Sanitarium at the conclusion of each film festival. Classic comedies are shown at the Nameless City Drive-In on the first Monday of every month! Abbot and Costello vs. the Lurking Ineffable Horror from the Depths of Space and Time is always a hit! Due to increased Mi-Go activity in recent months, convertibles and Minis are gently discouraged at the drive-in. THE NAMELESS CITY DRIVE-IN THEATRE Chrome bumpers gleaming in cold, exhaust-fume laden night air. Soggy foliage and crushed grass dotted with popcorn that has been crushed under rubber tires. Leather seats moist with skin musk and the sweat of groping hands fumbling under ceremonial robes. THE SNACK HUT Hot popcorn covered in a glowing golden liquid substance, fried things, and artificially flavored cherry frozen carbonated beverages, extra-loaded with high-fructose corn syrup. During this year’s Miskatonic Valley Yuletide Faire, Sue will be running the kid’s crafts booth, and Del will be showing holiday cinematic favorites throughout the season, including “It’s a Gibbering, Seething Life”, “All I Want For Yuletide is Bleating Madness”, and “’Twas the Night Before the Profane Horror Manifested”! (The oils are devoid of felt, googly eyes, high fructose corn syrup, artificial cherry flavoring, glue, and tentacles. Don’t be silly!) - - - The following oils are this trunk show’s new offerings: Absinthe v5 Absinthe v7 AF18 AF22 AF24 AF25 B.B2 B.B3 Black Orchid v3 BOBN1 BRA11 BTCS BTLS1 BTMEM BTOD1 BTOD2 BTPQ BTPU1 BTPU2 BTSB Dirty v3 Dorian v3 Dragon Pecker v2 Grand Guignol v4 HARLOT V2 Hel v6 HR1 HR2 Mason & Jenkins Port Jelly 2 MVJHL Bake Sale v3 Nepthys v2 Nepthys v4 NGAGL5 NGG023 NVF02 NVF10 NVL1 NVMA1 NVP1 NVP2 NVPR4 O v5 O v6 Playing With Dangerous Toys v2 Poisoned Apple v2 Poisoned Apple v3 PP416 PPH81 PSX54 Soothing System 1 XCDL13 XCDW5 YAR7 Zombie Apocalypse 4 The following oils from previous trunk shows will be brought back: A Bachelor's Dog A Bold Bluff Albedo Android V2 Aphrodite V7 Blue Phoenix Capela dos Ossos V5 CD023 Dorian V2 Gossamer Hellion V2 Hermes Trimegistus V2 Holly King Ice Queen Jingo Kogo V6 Lamia V3 Lust V7 MB: Underbed Medb V4 NYE in Dogville 2007 Oak King Orange Phoenix Osiris v4 Pediophobia V1 Pink Phoenix PO13 Purple Phoenix PX117 Red Phoenix Riding the Goat Scurvy Sekhmet V5 Set V3 Sitting up w/a Sick Friend Smut 2007 St. Lucia Strawberry Moon Tetramorph v2 TKO V3 Vishpala Please note: this list is subject to change.

| pepys_diary | 11:00p | Sunday 25 November 1666 (Lord's day). Up, and with Sir J. Minnes by coach to White Hall, and there coming late, I to rights to the chapel, where in my usual place I heard one of the King's chaplains, one Mr. Floyd, preach. He was out two or three times in his prayer, and as many in his sermon, but yet he made a most excellent good sermon, of our duty to imitate the lives and practice of Christ and the saints departed, and did it very handsomely and excellent stile; but was a little overlarge in magnifying the graces of the nobility and prelates, that we have seen in our memorys in the world, whom God hath taken from us. At the end of the sermon an excellent anthem; but it was a pleasant thing, an idle companion in our pew, a prating, bold counsellor that hath been heretofore at the Navy Office, and noted for a great eater and drinker, not for quantity, but of the best, his name Tom Bales, said, "I know a fitter anthem for this sermon," speaking only of our duty of following the saints, and I know not what. "Cooke should have sung, 'Come, follow, follow me.'" I After sermon up into the gallery, and then to Sir G. Carteret's to dinner; where much company. Among others, Mr. Carteret and my Lady Jemimah, and here was also Mr. [John] Ashburnham [L&M suggest it was William. P.G.], the great man, who is a pleasant man, and that hath seen much of the world, and more of the Court. After dinner Sir G. Carteret and I to another room, and he tells me more and more of our want of money and in how ill condition we are likely to be soon in, and that he believes we shall not have a fleete at sea the next year. So do I believe; but he seems to speak it as a thing expected by the King and as if their matters were laid accordingly. Thence into the Court and there delivered copies of my report to my Lord Treasurer, to the Duke of York, Sir W. Coventry, and others, and attended there till the Council met, and then was called in, and I read my letter. My Lord Treasurer declared that the King had nothing to give till the Parliament did give him some money. So the King did of himself bid me to declare to all that would take our tallys for payment, that he should, soon as the Parliament's money do come in, take back their tallys, and give them money: which I giving him occasion to repeat to me, it coming from him against the 'gre'1 I perceive, of my Lord Treasurer, I was content therewith, and went out, and glad that I have got so much. Here staid till the Council rose, walking in the gallery. All the talke being of Scotland, where the highest report, I perceive, runs but upon three or four hundred in armes; but they believe that it will grow more, and do seem to apprehend it much, as if the King of France had a hand in it. My Lord Lauderdale do make nothing of it, it seems, and people do censure him for it, he from the beginning saying that there was nothing in it, whereas it do appear to be a pure rebellion; but no persons of quality being in it, all do hope that it cannot amount to much. Here I saw Mrs. Stewart this afternoon, methought the beautifullest creature that ever I saw in my life, more than ever I thought her so, often as I have seen her; and I begin to think do exceed my Lady Castlemayne, at least now. This being St. Catherine's day, the Queene was at masse by seven o'clock this morning; and. Mr. Ashburnham do say that he never saw any one have so much zeale in his life as she hath: and, the question being asked by my Lady Carteret, much beyond the bigotry that ever the old Queen-mother had. I spoke with Mr. Maya who tells me that the design of building the City do go on apace, and by his description it will be mighty handsome, and to the satisfaction of the people; but I pray God it come not out too late. The Council up, after speaking with Sir W. Coventry a little, away home with Captain Cocke in his coach, discourse about the forming of his contract he made with us lately for hempe, and so home, where we parted, and I find my uncle Wight and Mrs. Wight and Woolly, who staid and supped, and mighty merry together, and then I to my chamber to even my journal, and then to bed. I will remember that Mr. Ashburnham to-day at dinner told how the rich fortune Mrs. Mallett reports of her servants; that my Lord Herbert would have had her; my Lord Hinchingbroke was indifferent to have her;2 my Lord John Butler might not have her; my Lord of Rochester would have forced her;3 and Sir ------ Popham, who nevertheless is likely to have her, would kiss her breach to have her. |
