I was looking for something in the shed and found this instead. (Actually I found a TON of very cool things that I own but don't have room for in the cottage, but anyway...)

I did a little research and apparently this is the first book in the short series of Columbo tie-in books. What's weird is that mine is hardback but I can't find it listed as a hardback anywhere. On the back it actually says "First Time in Paperback". Maybe it was made for libraries.

Anyway, here's today's cool thing.

British gay/bi male writers and their social circles

As a great admirer of gay literature, the social circles of gay and bisexual male writers is something that piques my interest. Due to the dangerousness of the matter in the past and also because it revolves around a relatively small niche, it seems that there was high level familiarity between these figures. The United Kingdom, a country whose literary input has abundant homoerotic tones, is a very adequate setting to analyze such a configuration.

I've been building a graph on this subject for some time, and now it seems mature enough for me to post it. It's a diagram based on friendship connections — deep or superficial —, although romantic and family-related connections are also included. Just a mutual recognition of existence isn't enough to justify a connection (otherwise most of them would be linked to Wilde!), and rivalries were not considered too. All the writers included were born during the Victorian and Edwardian eras (1837-1910), where this interconnectivity seemed particularly strong.

This is just an early version, as I imagine there is still a considerable amount of information that I missed. Therefore, I'm very open to suggestions and comments on it!

(Three Irishmen were also included in the diagram: Stoker, Wilde and Reid)

Été 1930, Hylewood, Canada (4/4)

Quelques nouvelles de ton investissement. Il va bien ! À la mi-juin l’année dernière, j’ai réuni quelques gars de l’île et des copains pour m’aider avec les travaux. Au départ, ce n’était que moi et mon cousin Fabien, mais Rumédier le gérant du sanatorium nous a envoyé son petit-fils pour nous donner un coup de main, et mes copains du pensionnant sont venus aider aussi. À nous sept, nous avons dragué, nivelé, construit la jeté et les quais, aménagé les accès, installé les bâtiments portuaires, les points d’eau, et les points de carburant. Grâce à toi, j’ai pu payer ceux qui ont pris de leurs temps et de leurs ressources pour m’aider, et surtout, j’ai pu faire électrifier le port ! Oui, tu lis bien, le port d’Hylewood est relié à l’électricité.

A la mi-juillet de cette année, après un an et un mois de travaux, le port était terminé (mises à part quelques petites finitions). On m’a envoyé un inspecteur afin de vérifier la solidité des infrastructures et faire des tests pratiques… Et depuis aujourd’hui, le 16 septembre 1930 : le port d’Hylewood est officiellement ouvert ! Bon, la saison est pratiquement terminée donc je ne pense pas que j’accueillerai grand monde cette année, mais tu sais, même si on avait terminé les travaux plus tôt, on n’aurait sûrement pas eu grand monde de toute manière. Par rapport aux années précédentes, il y a eu très peu de touristes cet été. L’année prochaine sera sûrement meilleure. En attendant les clients, je m’occupe. Je joue de la guitare, et surtout, je pêche. Tu trouveras d’ailleurs trois photographies dans l’enveloppe de cette lettre, pour que tu puisses voir à quoi ressemble le port. J’y ai ajouté aussi une prise que j’ai faite, une magnifique truite de dix livres  !

Je ne savais même pas que la cousine Ada s’était rendue en France. Pour tout t’avouer, nous ne sommes pas très proches de cette branche de la famille, alors je ne sais pas bien comment elle a entendu parler de toutes ces histoires, mais je plaide non coupable ! À mon avis, ça doit être Maman, puisqu’elle allait régulièrement voir Tante Françoise pour qu’elle corrige ses lettres à ta mère. Je t’avoue que depuis la mort de Tante Françoise, je ne sais pas bien qui s’occupait de la corriger. J’avais toujours supposé que c’était Mlle Rumédier, mais peut-être bien qu’elle demandait à la cousine Winifred, qui aurait parlé du contenu de ses lettres à sa sœur Ada. Tante Françoise pouvait parfois se montrer un peu snob et vieux jeu, alors ne prend pas toutes les pratiques de ses filles pour des généralités. Par exemple, porter un voile noir épais pour un enterrement est plutôt quelque chose qu’on associe aux vielles dames très catholiques.

Embrasse les filles de ma part. J’espère que tu profites du calme retrouvé, que Sélène est mariée, et que Jean-François est bachelier. Ne manque pas de montrer la photographie de ma truite à Ange et à Antoine !

Je t’embrasse affectueusement,

Lucien LeBris

The term “Middle East” itself is rooted in Eurocentrism, as it references the region's location relative to Europe rather than its actual geographical location.

The term "Middle East" may have originated in the 1850s in the British India Office. However, it became more widely known when American naval strategist Alfred Thayer Mahan used the term in 1902 to "designate the area between Arabia and India"

Day 2

A valley girl (oh yeah valley dudes exist btw) is supposed to be from the San Fernando Valley, an affluent area of LA County

Sure, Alvarez (San Francisco) talks like one (sometimes), but McMillan is closer to the San Fernando Valley (Redondo Beach of the South Bay), so...

Anyways Alvarez ships Lawrence with Alfred Loomis. I THOUGHT he'd be a Lawrenceheimer shipper but I guess not. Here's some evidence:

Anyways let's have Alvarez and McMillan get into some drama

"There are no other options" what a mid excuse now your best friend is miserable

Oh and two pages later they're sharing vests. Seriously one day Alvarez hates McMillan and wants to ruin his life and the next he loves him again...

Honestly Alvarez would make for a great subject for a biopic he's so funny

Surprisingly few elements have been named after people; at present, only 15 people have been immortalised on the periodic table, and they are listed in table 1.4.
