You're always singing in my head

[sovay]

I read two books, watched three and a half movies (technically one and a half were rewatches), and made myself a couple of meals. I did not burn down the kitchen when the rice pudding caught on fire. I did not go outside in the intermittently freezing rain, either. I listened repeatedly to Loma's "Black Willow," a song I am finding almost apocalyptically haunting, and interspersed it with O'Hooley & Tidow's "Gentleman Jack." I petted cats. I expect I will need to spend tomorrow working and I resent it because I would rather be writing about movies, but as an experiment in aggressive self-care, I think this weekend was actually great. It was not uncomplicated. I would like to have slept more. I would like the inside of my head to feel safer and it feels much less safe whenever I am doing something that I enjoy. It was worth it. I guess I should tell the doctor.

You also talked me down from the ledge at least twice and looked at Stately Omes.

Thank you for being a reality check.

P.S. WATCH THIS.

What.... what magical show is this?
I am watching at length and with sound on as soon as I am not at work!

What.... what magical show is this?

It's the BBC's Queers (2017), a kaleidoscope of the British queer century in eight short one-character plays, which came out last summer to great fanfare—there was a stage run at the Old Vic as well—and then I lost track of finding out whether it had ever aired in the U.S. because I lost track of most things in the second half of last year. It looks like it did, but more importantly it looks as though I can find the episodes on YouTube, which means I can now watch them and I will because did I mention BEN WHISHAW, WORLD WAR I?

I actually archived this show for you and need to pass you a data stick with episodes so you can have it if it gets yanked off YouTube. I've also been promising you Roman focused Time Team for ages.

I should get on that. =)
