Typepad Move
Blogging service TypePad is shutting down and taking all blog content with it
- Just when I restarted blogging (if this can be considered it) since late May.
- Apparently it's been 100 days since 21 May when I started there. So.
- Archive here for as long as it lasts.
A Tumblr thread for why I do this
And this is why historians love, really love, those incredibly dull people who write in their diary every day about what they wore and what they had for dinner and how many miles away their friend Mr So-And-So’s house is in that one village. Because they are the only ones who do write down what was in the third spice jar, how many miles away this now-nonexistent village was and so on. Seriously, the diaries of really dull people are HISTORICAL TREASURES OF OTHERWISE LOST MINUTIAE.
Somewhere out there there is almost certainly a diary that would expose the true contents of that third spice jar because of the one time it was low and this person had to have a quiet word with the butler or something and it was the most interesting thing that happened all week so they wrote it down. And I hope that diary is found someday because now I really want to know.
