I'll have to find out some other day. I don't have access to tonight's #hatm program.
In happier news, I bought two bookcases today from IKEA. I used them to present my many Blu Rays, DVDs, and VHS tapes. They all fit too. See for yourselves!
See you next week, #hatm gang :)

Mom is absolutely right! This is no park! It's the graveyard for tens of thousands. This is my picture of Cemetery Ridge. The white statue in the background is where the rebel advance began. The statue in the foreground is where the Union soldiers stood. It was a bloodbath. #hatm

I returned on Friday from a trip to the Washington DC area. I presented my work from my book in Winchester, VA and Gettysburg, PA. It was a great trip. The latter gave me this:

2) Burgers and fries, my usual weekend fare. I'll post pictures of my last Korean meal below. #hatm

Here is my book on the shelf at the Harpers Ferry bookstore yesterday. It’s the first time I’ve seen it on sale. With their kind permission, I signed each copy. I love how they surrounded it with books by other excellent historians.

Here's my disc ready to go - alongside Mike Judge's documentary Office Space. Does that make Idiocracy a magic mirror that can see into the future? :) #hatm

I had a Terrence Stamp film festival this weekend. RIP to a legend.
1) can’t say I have one but i applaud historians of such topics.
2) Oppenheimer. Worst is Cobb: the source material was maliciously bad.
3) chips and salsa #hatm

1) Johnny Dangerously. My late father loved that movie.
2) these burgers and fries
3) I bought an HP Laptop 17 with a 1GB solid state hard drive. It's just amazing. Highly recommended. You will need to buy an external DVD-RW drive though, but that's affordable.
Looking forward to this #hatm

Good evening #hatm crowd. Let's settle down for some Wicked tonight. In preparation, I watched The Wizard of Oz earlier today. It's simply one of the greatest movies ever made.
1) Probably 1776 - combining my two favorite things: history and musicals
2) Burgers and fries, as usual.
