Today’s blog post, on artelliott.com, took longer than I thought. I got distracted by everything from Brooklyn Nine Nine (a great show) to the history of the Crimean War to Russian Oblasts. There was a Napoleon III? Was there even a II? Yes, yes there was but he was kind of a lump compared to his Cuz, III. 

I spent so much time in those wiki-holes I donated some $$.

Maybe someone there will buy the book.

A bleak bio this week for The Brue. It kind of has to be. You have to start out in a bad place to turn bad. You can feel bad for him, sure. Even understand where he’s coming from, or why he is like he is, but you can’t be happy for him. Sypmathy and empathy are two very different things.

I was toying with him meeting Audrey and/or Roy when he first came through his thinny but I wasn’t sure. If everything is too connected it gets to be a Gordian knot (wiki it) and just too hard to swallow. There’s only so far disbelief can be suspended for a fantasy.
