I love you guys so much, thank you so much for everything. The Toast has changed my life and made me happier and better.

Let's fight the willing foes who deserve it, and find peace in our sea rooms.

Grabbed my computer to say: In college, around 2010, some friends walked out to the abandoned... water treatment facility? Electric plant? Outside of our very small town, because damn it, they needed to break into something. ANYWAY, when they were there, they found PILES and PILES of Star Trek pornography magazine, with semi-naked actor look-alikes lewdly posed in (or out of) costume.

It had not been there for long because when a few of us walked back up a few days later, there was more.

That's probably less for the gin and more for the tonic-- the quinine in tonic water helps with muscle cramps, as well as malaria symptoms. It's not great in high dose, but in tonic water-doses it can really help.

I love The History Boys but the film should have kept the ending from the play, because sometimes the ending that makes you feel worse is the CORRECT ENDING.

Me too! I dragged my mother to see The History Boys on Broadway when I was 16 and it was excellent.
I have a deep fondness for Samuel Barnett, and also Stephen Campbell Moore (?!) because he was also in Bright Young Things, another favorite film of my youth.

I love Hardy's novels (well, some of them), but he was the WORST, first constantly talking about how his wife was terrible and then when she died going "OH NO, my wife, pity me," and if he wanted to do that he should have been nicer to her in the first place.

AND YET some of his novels, Tess and The Well-Beloved and Far From the Madding Crowd, are SO good, man.

Today I am finally seeing Star Wars! I finish work at 2, and then I am going. I look forward to getting everyone's jokes.

Also, yesterday I finally got an application in, which shouldn't have been hard but instead had become a mental block that I couldn't get past. I now plan to spend the whole weekend either asleep or writing. Mostly asleep, I think.

Anyone else finally get things done this week they've been working on for a while?
