I am probably spending way to much brain-energy this week on creating steampunk!Rufus for The Sky Tides, although it has given me more info to add to my vast store of utterly useless facts. A symptom of this is that while I am usually not really into the 18th/19th century harlequin romance heroes, there's something about the mental image of Rufus horseback riding - 19th century clothes, tall riding boots, jacket off, shirt sleeves rolled up slightly - that's really incredibly hot.

Anyway. As a distraction from my shallow fangirling, have hilarious goldfish. I literally laughed for like two minutes straight.

Also, I just have say this - 18th century lit and the lack of standardized capitalization blows. Trying to read sentences where half the nouns are capitalized is really hard - it totally messes up all my visual sentence break cues.
