In case you don't remember me, let me introduce myself: My name is saskatch and I have been remiss in my blogging duties. Like, really really ridiculously remiss. You don't want to hear my excuses, and honestly, I don't feel like making any up. The truth is that I've been in hibernation—I am part forest creature after all. OK, that's not true. BUT, you could say I have been in a creative hibernation... of sorts. Lucky for me, I have been busy writing and writing for actual work, so in my free time the witty side of my brain has been kicking it in a hammock with a cocktail (an unfortunate situation for Saskatch the Blog). Lucky for both of us, I have some exciting news to share and post ideas a'brewin. Let me just say that BIG changes will be happening around here, so stay tuned. Above all, I missed you, dear readers. Like, a lot. I'm hoping the we can give this another try. Will you take me back? Just to show you I care, please accept this gift from me to you... (who comes up with this stuff? GENIUSES, that's who.)
First, as some of you may know, I absolutely love history. I was the dorky kid who said, "I want to be a cultural anthropologist!" when the other kids shouted, "teacher! firefighter! actress!" I also love wine. When I first saw the following clip, it was almost as if my history-dork-self met my wino-self out at a bar, and when they thought it couldn't get any better, Will Ferrell and Zooey Deshcanel walked through the door. Just watch—you can thank me later.
Second, a friend passed the following along to me. I don't know where or how they found it, but it's solid gold and I'd like to share it with you...
