Doing A Doubletake

About two years ago, when I first started this blog, I used to wrote about non-Victorian things: movies, and slang, and Jack Kerouac and laundry. And I also started a blog called The Doubletake about odd things in the news, and enjoyed writing it very much, though it soon fell by the proverbial wayside as I developed this blog into the Victorian miscellany it is now, and got Kitchen Retro going, too.

But I've missed having a place to write about non-niche things, things that aren't retro ads, or Brooklyn true crime in the 1860s (as much fun as these topics are). So I am pleased to tell you that I have revived The Doubletake. It's going to be a place for - well, the weird news, books, movies, and definitely Jack Kerouac and laundry. And many other things, too. The main criterion will be that it interests me, made me take a second look (hence the name Doubletake, ahem). I hope that it will amuse you, too.

The next few days, until the middle of next week really, are going to be as busy for me as - well, Barnum's American Museum on half-price day. So I apologize in advance to my Entrecard friends, and this Museum's wonderful commenters - I'll be back at it quite soon. And I have a couple of posts lined up here, too. The post about the goings-on at Gothic Hall is written and is coming up next time.
