Definitely a series that makes me want to kill god. (I love it so much.)

It's beautiful.

Seconded.

Honestly, most of our grievances and wars have been about that sort of thing. Wasn't helped by the nobles who ran everything usually being related.

In terms of medieval/Renaissance Italy, it makes a lot of sense for someone to identify with their city first, and Italy later, because the city states were powerful in their own right.

I believe that games are art and yet utterly disliked Disco Elysium.

A dead one? (Did I write that out loud?) I have actually never seen Jane Eyre, so I have nothing useful to add, I'll let myself out.

*sigh* My solution is buying black socks in bulk. I also own colourful ones, but finding actual pairs is basically impossible.

I always annoyed my Mom because I never wanted to go into the perfume aisle - I claimed it made me nauseous, she probably thought I was just being difficult. Turns out I have an intolerance towards cinnamaldehyde, which is used in plenty of things, among them perfumes. So, alas, no scents for me.

It certainly makes me think nobody involved has understood - or possibly even read - Jekyll and Hyde.

I'd rather have a party with my cats than with Derek, that's for sure.

Time for someone to do that, and reestablish Anne as the secret Bronte sister to be reckoned with.

It's awesome!

Mochi discovered a way to climb out the window in roomie's bedroom, and went out over the roof. Spend the day outside, came back at night, and was peacefully sleeping in the cat tree.

Yay! Thank you, Andrew!

OMG, yes!

I mean, bringing back the much bigger cousin of a notoriously ill-tempered, aggressive bird. What could possibly go wrong?

The secret of his lack of success lies in the word "bitchless", but he'll never know.

Well, I am in Germany (though nowhere near the Rhine), so that might work!

Apologies for our horrible public transport, it's just atrocious.

I wish we could give you some of our rain, we've been drowning lately. (Our drought was a couple of months ago.)

King so stingy he forces people to continue working even after they've passed.

I think the only thing related to my ethnicity which ever turned up in HP is Durmstrang - it took me ages and ages to figure out that that was a pun on Sturm und Drang. So, basically the kind of evilish, maybe Russian/maybe German wizard school.

I admit, I, too, would have killed the Pharao over Anck-su-namun.

Rachel Weisz and Oded Fehr/Arnold Vosloo for me. Also a great fan of John Hannah, but more as an actor.

Look, I thought you meant "men loving men" at first, and for a second, this was a more interesting world.

That person has never enjoyed anything fiction, have they?

I randomly beat up the most unassuming looking guy with glasses, because no matter what happened before, Ben Linus will be responsible for it.

I felt so old in that moment.

The (at that time Dixie) Chicks almost lost their career over criticizing GWB. "Shut up and sing" is about that.
