My dream house is a negative space of rock
My poem "Northern Comfort" has been accepted by Not One of Us. It was written out of my discovery over the last few years of the slaveholding history of Massachusetts literally under my feet and my more recent anger at the murderously terrified fragility of the current administration. Half my family turns out to be wound into these vanguards of American colonialism and I don't waste my time pretending that the other immigrant half bullied me into demonizing them to death. At this point I am moving past hundred-year tides and into glaciers.
I cannot promise at this stage to do anything more than admire them, but![[personal profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/user.png)
thisbluespirit made me a pair of personalized bingo cards.
I got at least three songs stuck in my head from this card.
I really appreciate the inclusion of the bog body.
Having entirely missed the existence of Winteractive these past three years, I can see that I will have to visit the Kraken Crossing before the end of March. In even more belated fashion, I have managed to go more than thirty years without seeing the 1995 BBC Pride and Prejudice partly because nearly everyone I knew in high school was fainting over it and my reactions to most expressions of romance at that time could be described as allergic and bemused, but this interview with Colin Firth has gone a long way toward convincing me that when my brain has reverted to media capability, it too should go on the list.

Also the tentacles are amazing & I hope you get to see them in person.

Ha, well, then my decision to snaffle lines from my English Book of Folk Songs was not in vain, then. I may have got a tiny bit carried away with the "find random sea quotes" part of the program though! XD

Aww, cool, because despite the annoying popularity, it is very good indeed. I even managed to watch it in my first year at uni, when I had to go over to the common room, which was far too much of an ordeal when it came to everything else. Although I see someone was before me in saying that of course the true attraction is not Colin but Benjamin Whitrow, playing Mr Bennet as if he had waited all his life for the chance. (I enjoy most (all, I think?) of the other versions of P&P I've seen one way and another, but there is Only One True Mr Bennet, even if Edmund Gwenn comes very close).
Btw, for reasons (presumably that they had acquired the rights to show it) when the UK Freeview channel Drama started up, they launched themselves with a terrifying giant wet Mr Darcy in a river somewhere. Possibly he is trying to escape some tentacles! As one does... XD

Thank you!

I will certainly endeavor to bring back pictures if I do. It will be an expedition.

No such thing possible!

That's delightful. I'm glad he was able to achieve the Platonic archetype.

I just cracked up.

I have a vague feeling the thing is still hanging around somewhere, or was for quite a few years after. XD (Had Colin Firth been able to foresee that, I imagine he would have stuck to his guns on refusing it, lol).
