Title Hobby

So, I have a few strange hobbies. I'm sure most of you are aware of this. The one I wish to talk about is my collection of publish romance novel titles. I don't read these books. I just collect the cheesiest, weirdest titles that have made it to publication. Here is a list of them:

The Art of Seducing a Naked Werewolf (no joke, really)
The School for Brides
Innocent in the Sheikh's Harem
Crusader Captive
Seduce Me in Flames
The Seduction of a Scoundrel
The Taming of the Rake
Ripe for Scandal
Claiming the Courtesan
Savage Surrender
The Sicilian's Red-Hot Revenge
The Bride's Thief
Will You Give My Mommy a Baby?
Bear Meets Girl (I am not advocating this one, but you have to read the description to find out why me and my knitting group were in stitches two meetings in a row about this book)
Master of Sin
The Saint Who Stole my Heart

The rest of these titles are from my "Everyone Wants a Scot" list:
Claimed by the Highlander
Awaken the Highland Warrior
Highland Heat
In Bed With a Highlander
Taming the Highland Bride
Conquered by the Highlander
The Taming of a Scottish Princess

So I hope these gave you all a chuckle, as they have for me. I might eventually do another installment.

Manly Muffin Why-nots

I did something crazy today. I blame one of my favorite webcomics for it, actually, specifically, this page of it: The webcomic is Manly Guys Doing Manly Things and is one of the funniest comics I've ever read. It spoofs the most masculine characters in video/computer games and popular culture and is very cleverly written/drawn. And I admit, I adore buff guys. It's all Rosslyn's fault for introducing me to it, but I don't mind. Rosslyn read this page over my shoulder Monday evening and echoed the little girl, saying, "Why not?" In doing so she and the Commander's daughter unwittingly named the project: Manly Muffin Why-nots. Disclaimer: Please forgive the following photos; they were taken in a dimly lit kitchen at night with an uncooperative camera. Also, please forgive the excessive recipe cheats. I am a poor college student on a very limited budget. Now, I got a small pack of frozen strawberries, raspberries, and blackberries (blueberries weren...

Letter A: Anniversary, the Second!

Welcome to the first of my alphabet month challenge posts! Spousal Unit and I just celebrated our second anniversary at the beginning of February. We did so in our usual fashion: find a museum and a good restaurant and go! (As a note, we're running out of museums to go to.... we went to many while dating.) The destination we chose was the Utah Museum of Fine Art. We got there in the morning on a Saturday and they had a rather interesting exhibit on the use of text in art (collages with newspapers, using words artistically throughout a piece, etc). They even had a typewriter you could use and play around with words that others had already written. It had the standard amount of crass and thoughtful phrases on it. They also had many masking tape art displays: a mosaic and a ceiling display. Spousal Unit and I did have some issue with a tour. We did not join it, but I heard a tired old assumption about the lack of bathing habits of the Middle Ages (as in, they bathed once a ye...

I've been spending a great deal of time working on making decisions for my SCA persona. I grew up within the SCA; my parents had joined when I was ten or so and were avidly involved (or at least my dad and uncles were) ever since. I didn't really enjoy much more than the clothing until I was old enough to duck out of babysitting before I was asked. I went to Great Western War this year, and despite being completely unprepared, Rosslyn and I put on a half hour show at the Open Arms Bardic Hall. I took a few classes over the weekend and in general enjoyed being there as a vacation. While there, I took two classes from True Thomas the Storyteller (look him up, hire him, he's sooooo worth the money), "Fyrecrawling101" and "Coaching". I had some embarrassing moments (forgetting the words to a song--remember how I said I was completely unprepared?), but by and large, I think I grew a bit. I got bolder...I even learned a story to tell instead of being a singi...
