Flicker like a Super 8
All errands were successfully accomplished this afternoon and except for the part where ![[personal profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/user.png)
spatch and I ate slices of pizza in a park, Harry, it sucked. Have some links.
1. It might have been useful for me to know a couple of years ago, but it looks as though many of the whalemen's journals kept by the New Bedford Whaling Museum have been digitized and can be read online. On that subject, see the forgotten whaling captains of color.
2. Poems that have gotten my attention lately include Hugo Williams' "Flâneur" and Campbell McGrath's "Glory-of-the-Atlantic."
3. I was slightly unclear on the parameters of the quiz to determine which WWI homosexual you are and assumed it meant historical figures. It seems to operate more archetypally and assigned me Captain Cooke:
You have been here since 1914 and you're not quite sure what year it is. You could not give less of a damn if you got a court martial for wearing your uniform wrong. Your boyfriend listens patiently as you complain how B Company always leaves the trenches a bloody mess for your arrival. You throw a flask at the staff officer who enters your dugout, but you're one of his best men so he wants to promote you to Major. However, you would sooner eat your own boots, hobnails and all. Before everything you do, you let out a long sigh. You know you're bitter sometimes, but you have a soft heart underneath it all. Your weakness is boys who know you have a soft spot . . .
I gather I am in a production of Journey's End. Possibly I should not actually go around singing "We're Here Because We're Here."

I heard him during the centenary commemorations for World War I and he's stayed with me ever since.

Bah! I'm so sorry! It would not have occurred to me the quiz format wouldn't pass muster with non-sighted users—I figured there was description of the images.

Look, quiz, you don't know me....
I was torn between Kit Bag and Bells of Hell. Otherwise it was every foppish bookish option, lol.

Invaluable to your later biographers!

Well that goes w/o saying

Sorry, couldn't hear you over the whizz-bangs for a minute there.

LOL, it does sound like it! WOuld you like to be in one with James Maxwell, Martin Jarvis or Jeremy Northam? XD (I'm sure other versions are available, but apparently my blorbos cluster round it by turns. Honestly, it's surprising David Collings didn't play one of the supporting characters; he could have been Hibbert.)
(Oh, wait, even if you have an Other Preferred Version, I just remembered that the Northam one has Edward Petherbridge in it as well, so I think that may be a non-question.)
*hugs for the rest*

He could have; I am actually shocked he never got near the play. I've been holding out for a version of the 1930 film with Colin Clive that doesn't look like it also went through the trenches. It's never come around on any of my streaming services. I dreamed once I owned a 16 mm print.

It's just a matter of time.

Such a missed opportunity for crying, breaking down and dying, all the things he likes to do!! XD

Returning to this conversation because for obvious reasons I wondered what L.A. Theatre Works had been doing lately and he's not in it, but Martin Jarvis just directed a Journey's End and I am definitely feeling stalked. (I don't know its Stanhope, but I saw its Osborne on Broadway in 2002, which is neat.)

Ha, well, he's making up for David Collings's lack by doing it twice, from two different angles. XD He does seem, from BBC Radio listings as well, to have been doing much more radio directing than acting these last few years, so I suppose he must enjoy it!
