So... this is filming near my workplace. [link]

I know this isn't the expected take-away, but there is a real person named "Tuppence"? Like Tommy and Tuppence?

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."

perhaps this belongs in white font, but I want to know how soon into the movie Sean Bean's character dies.

(note: I know nothing about the movie)

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Sister to Ha'penny Farthing.

True story.

Seems like a weird place to film something like that... oh, unless they're going for the dank, apocalyptic underworld toilet that is Lower Wacker.

Aw, poor Sean Bean. That was my first thought too.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

Sean Bean should do an episode of SNL, where he gets killed off a third of the way through every sketch.

I'm always charmed by the knowledge that traditionally the Stanley Cup gets shared around in turn by the members of the winning team -- meaning they each get to have that gaudy shiny thing in their living rooms, or put it in the passenger seat of their cars and drive around or whatever.

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."

Habits are crazy things. The SO & I have been successfully working out every day except for three scheduled off-days at the gym we joined for the summer.

It's actually going to really really suck when we go home. We will either need to join the gym that has maybe a half of the equipment of this one and really crappy pissy rude trainers and a general gym environment of oneupmanship, or the one that has probably a tenth of the equipment of this one and neutral people. We will really miss this one which has amazing equipment, but even more amazing, friendly, helpful, encouraging trainers.

But I've been really surprised we've been able to establish and keep up this new habit, even when our schedule has changes every week, and sometimes every day.

I still need to do more regular rehearsals, and I need to get the office work more up to speed. And next week will be disruptive because I'll be traveling, but not in a hotel, and the SO won't have the car. So we'll have to figure something out there.
