mythtaken is the fault of a somewhat fannish-oriented, marginally geeky englishwoman with too much time on her hands and serves as an attic for her to keep all her stuff in.

Five fun things I discovered this week

Graham Linehan, comedy genius, has a blog.
The Ally Pally bonfire night celebration is possibly the best one ever, since not only is it lovely in itself, but its position on Mill Hill means that all of London is spread out below you, and hence you get to see hundreds of firework displays for the price of one.
Practical jokery can actually be amusing when it approaches performance art rather than singling out an individual of whom to make unsuspecting fun.
Superman has been a dick since his inception.
A glossary of words from 18th century English provincial dialects. I found this while researching the word "shrammed" (meaning really cold, as in "my feet are shrammed"), because my sister's boyfriend had never heard it before and refused to believe it existed. My grandfather used it all the time. Turns out it's specifically Wiltshire vocabulary.
