Have you read "The Creation of Anne Boleyn" by Susan Bordo? I thought it was a great examination of her as a figure, from contemporaries' accounts to pop culture representations.

I've been giving to them for several years now. I enjoy reading the letters to Transanta and picking out gifts for youth in need. Last year there was also a tool that showed whose letters had gone unfulfilled to help ensure everyone got something.

So many covers I love in here, but one I haven't seen mentioned is Bear McCreary's reimagined All Along the Watchtower from Battlestar Galactica. Is it as good if you haven't seen the show? Could be. But if you HAVE seen it in the show I don't think it ever loses its power. youtu.be/xfaTEGGtVf8

I never knew there were bigger plans for her and now I am so curious about what happened! She actually taught my acting class for a term at UCLA and was super nice and one of my favorite profs from my time there.

I just have to tell you how very many times I've listened to your Got to Fly album. It has brought me lots of joy over the years (and some heartache—looking at you, "Good Old Girl"), so thank you!

Rewatching it in the last year has added so many new layers: from new parallels for the g-side and occupation to Baltar as Elon Musk (and this thought came before he took over our government)

Buffy and I started college the same year, which ironically means I didn't have enough time to watch most of that season until years later. But I remember the thrill that the cast was walking that campus at roughly the same time I was.

I can do the Leo pointing meme at so many shows and movies (Alias, Legally Blonde, etc) filmed on campus, but Buffy is the only one I've watched that really kind of LIVES there. I feel like I've just been back!

Is there a rights issue with showing the art on film? Or maybe those areas are just too identifiable to use as a stand-in for another school? Though it's not like it's not obviously UCLA every time they show the red brick of Royce Hall and the other older buildings on campus
