Whether the future's bright or we're out of luck
Yesterday I expected to do almost nothing at all. I even succeeded for most of the day. Then I watched the next installment of Millennium with ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
lesser_celery (who also brought over his wedding pictures, so that I could finally see some of the faces that go with his graduate school stories), and in the evening wound up at The Burren and Finale with derspatchel (Burdick's on a weeknight locks its doors at nine o'clock on the dot! Who thought that was a good idea?), and now I have a DVD of Cold Comfort Farm (1995) and it looks like I'm going to attend the Boston Science Fiction Film Festival's 'Thon on Sunday.
Also my poem "Taking the Auspices" has been nominated for the 2012 Rhysling Award.
I'm not complaining.

I'm very fond of Cold Comfort Farm. If I were ever to meet Ian McKellen, it would be very difficult for me to refrain from roaring certain quotes at him.
The book is one of my go-to novels for sick days: it doesn't require much by way of brains, and it's silly enough to be distracting.

Thank you!

Hah! My thesis is proven.

Also congratulations; I like it when awesome people storm the Rhyslings (especially when I get to help).

It was! I need days without people. But I am apparently going through a social phase, and it's nice to have enablers.

Thank you! (Oh?)
I hope I get to see you in the ToC . . .

Is it one of your stories? (If so, you won't need me to recommend Angela Carter's Figaro-take.)

By the way... French director Francois Ozon now calls Garai his muse. Well, that makes two of us. She starred in his film "Angel" - about a young eccentric British writer in the early 20th century. Highly recommended...
Congrats and good luck with your poem!

I love that film; it was part of the summer I discovered Bill Nighy. I rewatched it a few months ago and it was still wonderful.
Cold Comfort Farm is significantly snarkier, but I think you will like it nonetheless.

Oh, excellent. I'm glad someone does.

Thank you! I saw when that came out, but didn't know anyone who'd seen it.

It's been—against all odds—a good week and a half.
