Linkblogging

I've been away! And so have basically not checked LJ all week. Feel free to tell me what I missed! But here are some of the awesome things I did see:

1. The History of the Arthurian Legends in Ten Easy Steps (with Recommended Reading) - wonderful essay on how the King Arthur story has changed over time. Mostly directed at Merlin (the BBC show) fandom, but great reading for anyone interested in the topic.
2. Silent Star Wars - the end of the Empire Strikes Back down as a black and white movie. Really cool.
3. Fuck Yeah Mermaids. Because they're awesome, that's why.
4. Exogamy in Victorian Britain
5. Super creepy radio recordings of dead astronauts! (Okay, probably not. But still super creepy)
