Spoiler space
pseudicide:
Don’t Feed the Bunnies… they bite: Sorry…
spandexandsportsbras:
I do realize now that today is Thursday and NOT Wednesday, but still everything else I said about posting spoilers still applies. You DON’T knowingly post the LAST PAGE of a comic the next day after it came out. At least if you have ANY consideration for anyone else at all.
(I don’t have any issues...

Eternal Sunshine "speaks to you on a personal...
Well, who hasn’t been in an relationship that’s gone sour and wanted to forget it entirely? I do have to question, though, your assertion that ESotSM ‘pop(s) up on your blog quite regularly’, as you say; out of 2000+ posts, I think I’ve only referenced it a handful of times. I’d hate to think I’m that predictable.
You have questions, I have answers

It’s in all likelihood one of my favourite movies - Carrey and Winslet knock their roles out of the park, as it were. Thematically, it also speaks to me on a personal level. I’m not saying it’s entirely without flaw - I’m slightly over the ‘manic pixie dream girl’ trope TBH, and Gondry’s direction is a shade too tricksy for my tastes - but it’s never...

This be the verse

[snip]
- Philip Larkin
Ah, been looking for this particular poem for ages (couldn’t think of the author!).
Googling “they fuck you up, your mum and dad” would probably have got it for you. ;)
Stupidly, I didn’t think of that. That’s what happens when you approach your mid-30’s, your brain turns to mush.
This be the verse
elizaaar:
They fuck you up, your mum and dad
they may not mean to, but they do.
They fill you with the faults they had
and add some extra, just for you.
But they were fucked up in their turn
by fools in old-style hats and coats,
who half the time were soppy-stern
and half at one another’s throats.
It deepens like a coastal shelf.
get out as early as you can,
and don’t have any kids...

Now it’s really pouring. There’s so much water falling off my eyelashes I blinked and found myself in India during Monsoon. I’m standing in your doorway slapping rain off my bare calves; stepping into shoes, like sinking boats filled with water. The tug in my stomach, the gutter current of you.
In light of recent events, this seems spookily prescient. (Also sums up my mood...

kathleenjoy:
There are stars over Paddington without light pollution. The moon is touching the crest of a cloud. Wake up in a silt filled crater.
I’m standing in my street in the dark to post this, we haven’t had power since around 2pm. We don’t have a battery operated radio so I walk outside every few hours to check updates from the police and a local radio station on Twitter.
I wish I hadn’t...
