BBC redoing all the Shakespeare plays is like the WPA for actors -- you've got to keep them off the streets somehow.
That's disturbing. You're emotionally scarred and will end up badly.

Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
the character spends forty some years passing as white
Which may or may not have anything to do with the fact that Anthony Hopkins is pretty fucking white.
I need to see more of these stories from a black point of view. All the black people I know who saw Devil In A Blue Dress were all "That's the reveal???"

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.
This afternoon is never going to end, is it, even though I get to leave at 3:00.

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart

I was in art school when The Crying Game was released. The reaction was similar.

ita, what's the meeting about? Also, if you are up for it tomorrow, pop by for pie (sweet potato and apple) or turkey. we'll be here.
I am hungry right now. Unsurprisingly. But the turkey is sitting in its brine and I feel the need to go get more ice to ice the sucker down. Sigh. And maybe some mac and cheese and wine glasses.

Lee, you get to go home before I do, so I don't want to hear it from you.
I need to get applesauce on the way home. I'm not sure why I'm suddenly so addicted.

I'd say I'm sorry ita, but I'd be lying.
Want me to say it anyway?

Nothing remarkable, but nothing any of us can skip.

Thanks for the offer. I doubt I'll be up for it, though. The idea of me ritualising giving thanks puts a sour taste in my mouth right now. Just not that big a person.

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"
Timelies all!
We're going to T-day dinner at the home of friends of G's mom. I don't know if we're supposed to bring anything.

Nope. I hear you. I just thought I'd offer. Frankly, I'd love to say, hey! let's got the apple pan instead and have a burger. But that could be a result of me being so fucking hungry that it's surreal.
