So I skipped several episodes because they wouldn't load for me for some reason, so I'm now on episode 9. Which gives us this excellent screenshot:

In case anyone is needing to get caught up:
- Prince Ombra Thread, Week One
- Prince Ombra Thread, Week Two
We'll be covering chapters 9-13 this week, I think, starting tomorrow.

*pets shiny new weekly post*
I used to be known as the family genealogist, and one of the primary compilers of information for people with my surname in the US. OK, it's possible I'm still known for this, but the truth is that it's been almost ten years since I have done any serious family research. During that time, I've been lugging around an enormous box of documents on all my moves. This is not convenient. So in this age of digital wonderfulness, I've decided to finally get off my ass and digitize all my family documentation. For some of it, scanning is the best way to go, but for other items, some labourious transcription is needed.
The past few days, I've been working on transcribing low-quality photocopies of hand-written pages from a 19th century Bible belonging to someone in my family. 20 pages of births, marriages, and deaths, with some pretty colourful spelling amidst the flowery 19th century handwriting. I don't know who made this record, but whoever it was was extremely thorough. Just a few of the more interesting samples:
M[atilda?] Mckamey the Wife of Barton Mckamey was kild with lightning July 24th 1852
Lieucindia Cruse was Cild with lightning July the 7th 1854
Sampson Queener Dep this life August the 3rd 1858
Travis Gipson Dep this life August the 3rd 1858
both was killed by John and Jesse Lewis for trying to arest them for pasing counterfit money
John Lewis and J[esse] Lewis was hung at Jacksborow December the 16th 1859 for murdering Queener and Gipson
And that's only the first five pages.

So ~intense~ and ~majestic~. I'm not even sure if I'm being sarcastic any more. He's confused me completely.
Ooooh, also I forgot about this, which is just a few of the shots of John Thornton glaring intensely through windows in the whole of North and South:

They're great by themselves but the titles are also excellent. The first one is 'Death Giving George Taylor a Cross-Buttock' (which I'm not sure whether that sounds painful or like it's some weird sex position) and the second is 'George Taylor Triumphing over Death'. I don't know who George Taylor is or what's going on but I like them anyway for sheer weirdness.

I wondered whether there were any good sci-fi/fantasy novels about Indian characters, and I got a whole host of good recommendations! Most aren't specifically Indian, but they're all SFF with non-white characters. Here are the ones I've added to my ever-growing List.
Alif the Unseen, by G. Willow Wilson: This book sounds awesome. The main character is an Arab-Indian hacker, and all the other character are Arab. The book description compares it to Neal Stephenson, Neil Gaiman, and Philip Pullman. I've been wanting to read her graphic novels, Cairo and Air, too.
River of Gods, by Ian McDonald: This book also sounds awesome. It's set in India 2047! And there's a second book, Cyberadad Days. Actually, pretty much all of his books sound really cool and interesting. Brasyl is about future Brazil, and The Dervish House is about future Istanbul.
Kindred, by Octavia Butler: Why did no one tell me that Octavia Butler's most well-known novel was about TIME TRAVEL??
Parable of the Sower/Parable of the Talents, by Octavia Butler: I have been wanting to read Octavia Butler, and this dystopian duology was recommended a few times.
Rainbows End, by Vernor Vinge: Main character is Chinese, and the book deals with the rise of augmented reality in the future.
Lord of Light, by Roger Zelazny: This book just sounds bonkers, but it looks intriguing because of its use of Hindu mythology in a sci-fi context.
The Simoqin Prophecies (GameWorld Trilogy), by Samit Basu: All I have to say it this: "Monty Python meets the Ramayana, Alice in Wonderland meets The Lord of the Rings and Robin Hood meets The Arabian Nights in this novel."
Ash Mistry and the Savage Fortress, by Sarwat Chadda: This is the first book in a series that came out last year, but it's about a twelve-year-old Indian kid who fights Ravana. I am up with that.
Midnight Riot (Rivers of London series), by Ben Aaronovitch: Several people have recommended this series about a biracial London cop (mother is West African) who talks to ghosts or something. Funny and witty urban fantasy with a first-person smartass narrator? Sounds up my alley.
The Thief (Queen's Thief series), by Megan Whalen Turner: It's set in the fantasy Mediterranean, and there is lots of plot-twisty goodness!

Last week we had a celebratory thread when we passed 2000 comments; I was rather disappointing when we didn't manage to hit 3000.
Well, last night I was bored/procastinating, and I whipped this graph up, just to show how much this place is growing. 50 weeks ago (that was around November 2011), there was 210 comments on the Weekly Post. And while there were peaks and dips, its pretty damn obvious that we're our number of comments per week are going steadily upwards at an exponential rate.
If I've done my math right (and its very possible I haven't) we can expect reaching an average of 3,000 comments per post in about 23 weeks.

Did I just experience the literal Blue Screen Of Death?
I'm afraid, very afraid

So thanks everyone for getting me through half of my goal of 100. I should probably be able to figure out the rest myself.

Wow, this snow angel makes my ass look huge!
I tried to make a snowman but it's not the right type of snow for that. [Also? Getting out of a snow angel without ruining it is extremely difficult when you're by yourself.]
I saw three plows go down my street while I was cleaning off the car... all three of them with their plows up! Why come down the street at all if you're not going to plow it? It's a dead end, so it's not like they were cutting through to somewhere else. YOU DON'T MAKE SENSE, PLOWS.
Continued in a comment because of pictures, now with MORE CATS!
