I'm very excited but also so annoyed because I'd lived in the UK until recently. Of course this would happen after I left and am now an expensive flight away from London, instead of a cheap rail ticket :-(

The press stills from Coriolanus are amazing. I can't wait for the theater broadcast!

I'd bake cookies or something.

In my experience, when I've tried to have conversations with people about why something they've said is problematic it tends to not go well. Apparently when people say racist shit they really do not want to be called on it. Go figure. I don't know hoe to further handle the situation.

You are missing that people are terrible and they are extra horrific online.

That kind of attitude is so stupid. We can't prevent all rape so let's not try to lessen the number of people it happens to? Might as well walk into a medical research facility and tell them to stop working on cancer cures because some people are always going to die from it.

I think if someone gets you something it's polite to get them something back. You don't have to and if you never see her maybe it won't be awkward, but you just never know with roommates. Better to keep the peace, no? If you don't have extra cash to spare right now maybe you can make something or bake/cook something?

Just adding to the chorus of yeses! I took a semester off to backpack through Australia and it was so great! I've traveled around Europe a lot too and spend pretty much every second of every day plotting how to get back again.

I'd have taken them back if I could. My mom had already given them. I told her that I don't agree with what she said, but that feels like all I can do since I'm not the one who pays her. I agree though - fuck her.

Nice to imagine, but probably not very useful IRL.

My mom had already given them to her, otherwise I'd have spitefully eaten them myself.

Never change Burt! By which I mean, Hiddleston parties forever please!

A Knight's Tale is the best! I actually took a class on Chaucer just because of that movie (the class was nowhere near as good as the movie). Feel better soon!

I have the same struggle with Apple TV. Why do I have to go back to the show's menu to choose the next episode? WHY?

So I spent a really long time making Christmas treats for my mother’s cleaning lady. When she came over she asked me if I had any plans to visit NY for the holidays and then said she had friends who are from NY but had to move down South. And then said “They’re black. But they’re still good people.” And it got worse…

Yeah, not every book is going to be everybody's thing. I wasn't into Netherland and it felt like everybody on the planet was praising it (and that was before Obama read it.) Some of the reviews have said The Goldfinch moves slowly in places, but it's still on a number of Best Of lists from critics I often agree with,…

Sadly, I was with him for most of college. And I have not as yet found someone less objectionable. But I like to focus on the fact that I didn't marry that guy. That's a thing that could have happened. I enjoy being single when I think of the alternative.

I haven't read the book yet but I'd been told that it's Catelyn's POV and that it was very intense and atmospheric. I'm not sure I can deal with it, being inside her head for it and imagining wee baby Robb.

I've heard. My hopes are not high. The tone of that show was so perfect,and the actors just had the greatest chemistry. It would be hard to match.

I have conflict about that. Because Richard Madden is gorgeous and lovable, and we get to know Robb more on the show than in the books (at least as far as I've read, which is only book 2 but he never becomes POV right?) but on the other hand book Robb is so young. It all hurts!
