I have a new favorite website: Curious Places. It’s a photoblog of oddly wonderful structures or decorative schemes.
Here are a few I particularly like.
Chaplin Court – a Storybook court commissioned by Charlie Chaplin. I want one just like it in my back yard.
Casina delle Civette – very nice. I especially like the rounded arches.
Wat Sampran Dragon Temple – Dragon! Temple! Temple with all dragons on it!
Meanwhile today, I’m posting at Fatal Foodies about tuna noodle casserole, which is almost as wonderful as dragons, plus you can eat it.

Can’t say what my characters like as much as what they don’t like. LOL Dark dungeons comes to mind.

November 27, 2012 at 9:41am@Marian Allen – LOL!! I will happily play my role in your stories, Marian. Even if it involves shoveling the pratty patties.
