I got the loveliest DM today from a reader who wanted to tell me what KNIFE meant to her and how many times she‘s re-read it. She apologized for being wordy. Let me assure you, friends, no author is ever sorry to hear how much you loved their book! Please be wordy! rj-anderson.com/book/knife/

Hey, October 8 is the anniversary of Peter Wimsey and Harriet Vane, two of my favorite fictional characters from the Lord Peter Wimsey novels by Dorothy L. Sayers!
I'm off to determine if they wed in 1935, 36 or 37. Or, get back to writing my research paper, where I discovered this delightful fact!
Color Image from Gaudy Night miniseries of a woman in brown wearing a brown cloche hat dancing with a blond man in dark grey wearing a monocle, Harriet Vane and Lord Peter Wimsey, played by Harriet Walter and Edward Petherbridge. A large green leafy plant is behind them. She is smiling and turned toward the camera. he looks stiff, stuffy and tense Black and white photo from the miniseries Gaudy Night starring Edward Petherbridge as Lord Peter Wimsey and Harriet Walter as Harriet Vane. Petherbridge is on the left, with light hair and a dark suit wearing a monocle, looking fondly down his beaky nose at Harriet, who is wearing a close-fittimg hat with what looks like a satin lining. Harriet has dark curly hair that looks more like a 1980s perm than the 1930s style its attempting to portray, and is glancing toward the camera and smirking as if she were pleased with herself.

I have never imagined this until this moment but I would LOVE to watch a cheesy Chuseok-themed Asian Hallmark romance. Bonus points if it involves a struggling bookstore.

It’s really hard to describe to people who are not artists how survival mode does *not* inspire creativity, as the myth would have us believe. It suppresses creativity as you try to limit every possible risk – and the opportunities that come with them.

It turns out building habits and stuff actually requires not being in survival mode, who knew?!

Spectacular googly-eyed octopus does battle with a lobster in this 2,000 year-old Roman mosaic from Pompeii! 🐙 🦞

Fantastic fishy onlookers too! 👀

From the House of the Geometric Mosaics. Now at the Museo Archeologico Nazionale, Naples.

My photo shows a polychrome mosaic depicting Mediterranean marine life using earthy-coloured tesserae (mosaic tiles) against a black tessarae background. At the centre of the mosaic is a pale-coloured octopus composed of off-white and light brown tesserae with some of its writhing tentacles wrapped around the body of a lobster composed of light red, and pinky-brown tesserae. The octopus has an egg shaped body/head and it stares at the viewer with large eyes made of brown and pink circles with black centres. The octopus and lobster are surrounded by various species of large and small Mediterranean fish and a mollusc, including an eel and a flat fish. On the left hand side of the scene there is a small kingfisher bird on top of a rock. Some of the fish appear to be watching the fight between the octopus and the lobster This mosaic comes from the House of the Geometric Mosaics in Pompeii. Now on display at the Museo Archeologico Nazionale, Naples.

You and me both, Liz. Only watched Back to the Future and You’ve Got Mail for the first time a couple years ago (and didn’t particularly like either) and still have no desire to see The Goonies. Or E.T., or Pretty Woman, or Titanic, or Love Actually, or…

I loved this drama, truly do not get the criticisms many people had about it. However that being said, S2 is great fun and nearly everyone I know loved it.

I got stuck back at ep 18 and haven’t been motivated to go on. I think my problem is that the leads are together now (good for them, I love them) but there are no secondary characters I feel emotionally attached to except Cute Himbo Dragon, and his budding romance already died so ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Neither of these are from this year but I loved The Midnight Romance in Hagwon and My Liberation Notes.

I felt the ending of MM was quite hopeful and positive, if up for interpretation about what the future might hold. It’s the earlier eps that wrecked me emotionally (in the best way)

A 3,500 year-old Egyptian glass cosmetic jar with two little duck heads!

Glass was a relatively new material at that time, so this jar would have been a precious possession.

From Merit’s beauty case, found inside Theban tomb (TT8) of Merit and her husband Kha in 1906. 📷 Museo Egizio

#Archaeology
Museo Egizio Turin photo showing a small, dark-blue, core-formed, round glass jar which tapers in at the shoulders below the neck. It has yellow, white, and light blue festoon decoration trailed around the main body. There is a single yellow trail just below the neck of the jar. There is a dark-blue circular glass lid, the top of which is adorned with two dark-blue duck heads with yellow bills, a yellow trailed stripe on the top of each duck’s head, and indents for their eyes. The jar is displayed on a perspex (?) stand against a grey background. Glass jar dimensions: 7.6 cm x 9.6 cm. Core-forming is one of the earliest glassmaking techniques. Glassmakers shaped the body of the vessel around a core, wound colored trails around it. They then let the vessel cool and removed the core.

And you absolutely didn't. But even if you had, somehow, you deserved better help and support than that. I'm so sorry, Erin.

Fun word fact is that φοῖνιξ (phoinix)—meaning reddish-purple in Greek—is the basis for Phoenix 🐦‍🔥 and the word Phoenicians (the city of Tyre made some gorgeous purple, y’all). I’m fun at cocktail parties!
