This is kind of wonderful (though probably not work safe):

The director gets his friends to drink to excess and talk about history, then has actors act out the drunk version of events. Including hiccups, in Drunk History 3.

Warnings: on-screen vomiting, cursing, awesomely faulty history.

So. much. laughter.

Go. Watch. But do it before Sunday, because then the free content gets taken down.

I for one will happily buy this dvd.

I just read this review* about a book by Michelle West, and this paragraph:

Some readers have complained about West’s writing style. She tends to use a lot of semicolons and commas, making her sentences have a run-on feel, and requiring careful attention to their structure by the reader. This style makes the reader really have to focus all of his or her attention on the book, and even then the structure of the sentences can cause one’s mind to wander. The point of the sentence is sometimes lost or missed in all of the prepositional phrases and additions to the sentence. Readers should go into this book knowing that careful attention will be required to the book, and this is no easy or light read.

(along with the rest of the review, and an author interview) completely made me want to buy the books. God loves a semicolon.


*I had to link it here so I can find it again. Now I want to read her books. :)
