I had no idea you weren't already a fan of shape-note singing, or else I would have tried to evangelize you about it long ago. I live in WMass, Sacred Harp capital of New England, so I tend to take it for granted; there's a sing every Tuesday night and a giant annual convention in March. I'd very much like to try the sing you attended in Brookline, too. I've always been a trifle shy about leading, but it's great fun once you get used to it. In any case, welcome to fasola land.

I just saw there's now a stage version of The King's Speech; I cannot imagine the unspeakable hipster cred I am going to rack up by saying I liked him before it was cool, but fleurdelis28 and nineweaving will back me up on this.

I may rent Gothic; I like the idea of Timothy Spall in almost anything, but he'd be a hoot as Polidori.

I witnessed you liking The King's Speech before it became A Thing. If anybody* tells you, "Oh, I loved that movie, Colin Firth is hot and it was so funny when he said 'fuck'," I hereby authorize you to stand with your arms folded and a slight smile on your face.

*even for values of "anybody" that include me.
