2020 things – I’ll be meeting members of my family in a centrally located parking lot to exchange boxes of gifts with each other in a masked and socially distanced fashion. :sigh:

The fairy tales thing is interesting, I wonder how they looked way way back since I doubt there were princes and castles then
Hey! That fairy tale link references the Aarne–Thompson–Uther Index! I’m so happy every time I find a new reference to it. I really hope some day Seanan McGuire will write another Indexing book. 🙂
I love Joe Hisaishi’s Studio Ghibli scores for listening to just about any time, not just while reading. 🙂
Love the poetic justice. And the Dumpster fire New Year’s card. (Not to self: when and how did Epbot fall off my blog reader? Must fix that.)
The license plate ones are great! Though looking through them for a livingsounds like a thankless, and not too fun, job.

I think maybe I will avoid the animals with human-like teeth. -gah-
