Swearengen: What if I come for you? You ready for that?
Bullock: I guess I'd better be.
Swearengen: Then close your fuckin' store, 'cause being ready for me'll take care of your wakin' hours, and you'd better have someone to hand the task off to when you close your fuckin' eyes.

Rewatching one of my favourite shows that I haven’t revisited for a few years. I know I sound like an old man but there’s been nothing like this since. Deadwood was a masterpiece.

Finished my first book of the year - Robert Louis Stevenson's "Treasure Island"!
I watched the TV show "Black Sails" last year, which is a prequel to it, and it made me realize I'd never actually read the book, just seen a couple of adaptations.
Treated myself to a nice hardback copy. Page turner!

I watched "Bell, Book and Candle" last night and I LOVED it! 🧙♀️
Fantastic cast all having a ball by the looks of it! I thought Elsa Lanchester as Aunt Queenie was particularly good. And Pyewacket must be part ragdoll - that's the chillest siamese I've ever seen! 😆
