Legenda 70: Stuff worth reading

[Legenda offers a brief, non-inclusive index of stuff about Richard Armitage that I noticed and enjoyed since the last episode. It doesn’t usually include materials presented on the major fansites, which I love dearly, but which are linked in the sidebar. Because I always forget or just miss stuff, please add additional pieces of interest via link in the comments.]

This week, the indexed posts in Legenda are either announcements that you might like, or else from blogs that were not participating in FanstRAvaganza 4. I was on break and didn’t do a ton of other reading beyond F4, and what’s below.

If you missed it: FanstRAvaganza 4 links!

OT, collateral attractions, and stuff I think about

• Who are you when you eat kale chips?
• Could you live with a lot less? I lived in 12 square meters for two years while doing my doctoral research in Germany, so yeah (I currently have 450 sq feet and think it’s just fine, so I don’t totally get what the person in the article referenced is describing as small, but I share his experience of having travel reduce the amount of stuff I had drastically).
