Maybe, maybe, maybe this is it

This is more than five things. I say it's still a post.

New Mission of Burma. I have to wait till July?

(Why have I not even read The Hunger Games and I want somebody to vid the movie to "Academy Fight Song"? Seriously, brain.)

Annemarie Schwarzenbach. Discovered via cover photo here. I can't believe I'd never heard of her.

New England Conservatory is giving Benjamin Britten and W.H. Auden's Paul Bunyan (1941) its Boston premiere. American myth by the archetypally British. It is not supposed to be the best thing either of them ever wrote. Yes, please.

A radio adaptation of Diana Wynne Jones' Witch Week?

Grow a sunflower for Alan Turing!

I don't even like baseball and I wish I'd written this poem.

I would have enjoyed Lover Come Back (1961) more if I had not desired to go after the script with a brickbat almost every time gender came up, which was constantly, but an entire plot thread was pretty much redeemed by Tony Randall proclaiming himself the king of the elevator.

rushthatspeaks is showing me the pilot of Due South (1994–1999) this afternoon.

I should do things till then.

It goes along those lines through the David Marciano seasons (1&2). In the CKR seasons (3/4), it's... different, but a lot of fun.

I've been informed the show doesn't break with the change of actors, which is very good to hear.

(also, a lot of not-so-subtext. as in, paul gross was given helm of the show and he has gone on record as being all "hey, slashers, come have some fun.)

I think he generates a slash field. I was only surprised by rushthatspeaks' contention that there's not a lot for Slings & Arrows.

But Men With Brooms - a movie! about curling! made by some of the silliest men in north america!

All right, sold! Show it to me the next time I'm in D.C.!

Oh, more than just a slash field (though that does seem to be true. Even if he's not my type). And I quote, "I tell you, slash fiction is going to go crazy when they see the new guy. He is really good-looking and sexy, the dangerous side of Fraser. It will be totally homoerotic."

And that it was.

I mean, they ride off into the fucking sunset.


but yes. The show doesn't break. It changes for sure, but not in a bad way. Just... different.
