5.3: "Dead Emo Robin Hood"

In which Anneka tells the story of how she died, despite sarcastic remarks from the peanut gallery Velvette. 

Comments: When we last peeked in on Anneka and Velvette, Anneka was trying to tell Velvette how she died, but Velvette kept butting in with a) tales of her own demise and b) smart interjections. Here Anneka finally makes some progress with her own tale as she narrates how a stupid grudge against Will caused her death.

This episode introduces two of my favorite LHF characters: Dom and Caveat. Though quite influential in Anneka and Will’s recent history, Dom and Caveat haven’t come up yet. They’ll rejoin our main story later on, but, for now, we learn of their effect on Anneka and Will solely through flashback. I particularly like the juxtaposition between Anneka’s bitter, flippant delivery and the obvious agony that Dom and Caveat are suffering.

Mashantucket Pequot Museum and Library

I went to Foxwoods Money Toilet Casino this weekend. I was very close to the Mashantucket Pequot Museum and Library, but did not go. I obviously need to investigate it further, as well as its blog. I wonder what resources the Pequot Museum has online. Absinthe is not a Pequot, but an Abenaki [Cowasuck], but I bet there's a lot of information in the Pequot Museum and Library about tribes of the Northeast, including the Abenaki.
