well what the fuck, antarctica
how do you think that makes me feel

is there anything worse than not becoming a wolf right when all your good plans for the evening kind of hinge on becoming a wolf at that particular time

it’s rose season
that’s the time of the year when I bring home red roses to my beautiful cat
but she is the fairest flower in the garden

how do I know what she enjoys
well, ordinarily I come within three feet of her napping & she goes into a defensive posture as if I am in the habit of stealing her pillow out from under her (I am not, she has no pillows, this one is mine. so it would be impossible)
her typical bachless attitudes:

enjoying a bach cantata

b) platner's rape support is worse than his tattoo.
c. his blackwater work is worse than his rape support.

some people sometimes get all wound up about not ranking bad things. but these three, each one disqualifying on its own, are worth ranking. because:

it’s a goblin’s world, we just live in it

pleased to discover a translation that has goblins & not elves
I don’t know the Italian term being translated but this must be more correct
such a typical goblin attitude

"go, beloved daughter," "be great & unhappy," she says
nature is full of big talk until a Soul starts questioning her premises & then all of a sudden it's Go ask Fate, it's out of my hands
being miserable is a necessary consequence of being terrific & everybody knows it, she says
October 9, 2025 at 4:32 PM
hard to believe I never read leopardi's dialogues before now. harder still to admit it
each one is better than the last, I enjoy the one between the elf & the gnome very much
here is Nature explaining to a Soul why she is going to be miserable all her life
October 9, 2025 at 4:24 PM
she's just like me
although I do wear my glasses

death is so crotchety & susceptible to reverse psychology, it's a wonder anybody ever does die

don’t want to make alice james feel bad but saying Damn is really nothing special for those of us at liberty to say Fuck

whether to the duvet, to the cushions, or in other circumstances

(wait but so, with the edition that hid away the iris murdoch blurb inside to keep potential readers safe from becoming dangerously intrigued & picking it up, god forbid reading it, what was so important to put on the covers instead, what were they saving text space for

you know what for. twice)
September 9, 2025 at 12:38 AM
(rosalind ashe’s MOTHS, as you may know, got a blurb from iris murdoch which is much more impressive but both editions I have, they stuck it on an inside page or the back cover
poor ashe can you imagine
IM likes your book & they say No point making too much fuss over it, it’s only iris murdoch)

(they don’t have daylight in hell but they do have daylight savings time. just once a decade as a special treat for the imps)
anyway all of them say Just like REBECCA bc telling lies on books was fun & profitable in the paperback age, but this is the first one I’ve seen with an actual DDM quote

these keys are so wonderfully irritating, does anyone still do them
I don‘t know if even I would do one & I am devoted to being irritating
can you trust a book with more uncles than aunts
& paul gets to be paul, louisa gets to be louisa, but robert has to be edward?? how lowering for a robert

oh mr aiken
I think you’ll find that I shall

really sad to see such an advanced case of houseface
they have to start issuing serious warnings for the young people, like with cigarettes
everyone always thinks Oh, my houseface will be different, when I’m old I’ll enjoy not leaving the upper attics & I certainly won’t be dead
yeah well. we’ll see
August 26, 2025 at 5:46 PM
it was a terrific poll. made you think, really told you a lot about yourself
glad I took a picture at the time. people don’t talk enough about the importance of having a few unsullied memories

the ending, could it be the first happy ending in the history of a genre that insists it patented them
third to last page Katherine figures out her life & says “I don’t want to get married. It’s as simple as that.” then the very end
“‘I want to hang out with you,’ I explained”
will I cry
possible!!!

four or five big epiphany turns & all of them matter
here is tom realizing she isn’t just a big shot business lady, she’s good at her job & her job is important
the big He Respects Her scene appears in a thousand other romances & it’s treacly & false every time
this may be fake too but a good fake
August 25, 2025 at 3:23 AM
in any case you have to read it as a historical, because that’s what it is
a historical romance by a writer who’s lived through the historical period personally is a rare thing & precious

theo is so happy I won’t need my arms for cataloguing anymore
