Saw Stereophonic last night, and came out of it thinking “how tf did this get so many Tony noms (and wins)?”
It was long and tedious, the characters were odious and had zero arc, and it was clearly written by someone who thought they were much cleverer than they actually are

Something Discworld and Tolkien, probably
alright let’s get something more pleasant going. what two books would you leave out on your coffee table so a reporter can mention you have them. doesn’t matter if you’ve read them. for me it’s Pale Fire (which I did read) and Ulysses (got like 15% of the way in)

I hate that the weather is still warm enough in November that I’m getting tomatoes from my plants, but I love that I’m still getting tomatoes from my plants

Every time I listen to 真夏の果実 by Southern All Stars I think of my poor Snorri and Mr Squeak and it makes me sad. Truly the song that epitomizes this summer for me

Leaving London to go home is always so sad (although it will be nice to be back with the pugs)

Went to Word Fantasy Con, then met up with a friend, then saw Garry Starr: Classic Penguins, then got whisky, and now I’m getting 24h bagel sandwiches so I feel I’ve crammed quite a lot into today, actually

This thread 😭❤️
Nearly 25 years ago I wrote a long Tolkien fanfiction about Faramir and Éowyn and what happened after the fairy-tale. I posted chapters as I was writing them: it became my first full-length novel…

Okay, trying this again—but not on Alaska this time
This #AlaskaAir outage is killing me, I should have landed at my destination an hour ago and instead I haven’t even left the airport yet

I was hoping that he’d be with me for a little longer, but it’s looking like Friday is the day
It’s looking more and more likely that I’ll be saying goodbye to my best boy before the month is out

Love seeing a coworker fired for saying something uncomplimentary about recent events/our current administration, that really gives me a lot of confidence in my company and the current political atmosphere
