Yeah. I'm not as familiar with Plath as I am with Dorothy Parker, but what I have seen has broked my mind in a good way.
That must have been epic, hearing about the space race form the other side. Someday i'm going to try to read up on that; Canada's contribution to the whole shebang isn't really touched on or bragged about much here XD; It's just "We made the Canadarm and the Arrow project done got dead." Canucks are so overmodest XD; It's kind of sad, like, the olympic hockey wins got people dancing in the streets in Toronto, and the next day there's people squawking about 'blatant nationalism'... Yeah XD; Canada has - a thing going.
XD word in re: Steampunk; I wish that the problematic aspects of the era didn't migrate into the Steampunk genre so readily, though, gah. It's like, please stop sounding like Bram Stoker and Rudyard Kipling. Please. @_@ I think it's just a matter of pale-assed people not NOTICING it (because it's not about them, yo) and just kind of bringing all the Victoriana along wholesale without really thinking about what they're doing.
This is why I tend to lean toward FF6 type magitek stuff instead XD;
