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.

Now tagless for your comfort.

Ooh, Artemesia Gentileschi coming to the Art Institute.

I need to come down for that!!

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

In a film review online, is the name of the film italicized?

It should be, yes.

Most of Downton Abbey that isn't upstairs-downstairs gossip is about castle budgeting.

Because books.

It depends, Cash. Old school journalistic publications like the New York Times keep them in quotes, the way they always did in print, but newer online-only pubs will italicize.

Teppy - thanks for the link you newly married AND newly employed lady. Congratulations on both those things. You guys look so happy and your dress is gorgeous and I loved your cakes.

Love is stronger than death and harder than sorrow. Those who practice it are fierce like the light of stars traveling eons to pierce the night.

Fuck cancer, indeed. I'm sorry that this is happening to your mom, Cash.

Now tagless for your comfort.

Thanks, guys. For the support!

And for the editing advice. I'm doing a favor editing a film review for a friend's website and I wasn't 100% sure.

Art Crawl!!!

Cash - so sorry for the news about your mother. I hope that it turns out to be less bad than the first site of it.

ita - wow. I am so glad that your friend's instincts or training kicked in. Wow.

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

Artemisia Gentileschi

See, I want to learn about shit like that in the free online courses I barely have time to pay attention to. I'm still irritated by how random and eventually useless the first one was, from the get go. On the flip side, the Online Gaming course is fascinating! I know zero about the game part, but the core of the course is adapting LotR into PJ's movies and into the game, so it's canon I'm very familiar with, extending into a medium I know jackshit about. Great combination, and I'm actually up to date on the course material and have gotten full points on the quizzes (one was late, though...took time to get into gear.). It's just the right level of detail to have running while I draw. I even visited the forums...

'we all walk this earth feeling we are frauds. The trick is to be grateful and hope the caper doesn't end any time soon"

Castle upkeep -- it isn't coincidence that the quote about affording a yacht is "if you have ask, you can't afford one."

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

I really like how this photo from the weekend turned out.

Great shot, Gud! Boy in full flight.
