Life updates + lovememe

[prodigy]

Thanks for all thoughts and condolences on the subject of the terrible, horrible, no good, very bad week; it's slowly on the mend, I think, and hey, today was warm enough to go out without a hat. A day at the end of January where I actually feel like voluntarily taking a hatless walk counts as a victory, I think. ♥

I'm going to wait until another reading post is actually worthwhile before I make one, but I will always lament the dearth of men in Emma who are actually interesting enough for Emma Woodhouse. I may have a substantial pro-Emma bias, but I can never muster more than polite good will towards George Knightley. I think it's the age difference in their relationship, among other things; oh, well.

Oh! So, lovememe. I've... never actually done a lovememe, it's so contrary to my netsocialization (someday I will write an article on the subject of netsocialization for those of us young enough to have received a "netsocialization," and I promise it will be 500% less silly and facile than most of Slate's--or whoever it is that usually writes these articles--material about internet social norms!), but this one looks like fun so: staranise (which I keep reading as some iteration of the name "Stannis," oops) is doing a words and deeds-focused one and my thread is here.

Comments

If Stannis ran a love meme, there woulf only be two people to comment on: Melisdandre and R'hllor. Poor Davos would keep trying to add Stannis's own name only to get it screened.

There are actually fewer things sadder in the world than the idea of Stannis Baratheon in conjunction with a lovememe, aside from maybe "Stannis's Facebook wall" (you know he is someone who replies to literally every comment someone leaves him) (even if they're trolling him) (even if he knows they're trolling him) (Jaime stop writing on his wall) (Jaime seriously) and "Stannis's high school lunch table." Stannis Baratheon is the world's biggest loser. It is his most endearing quality.

Man, I feel like I should have more thoughts on Emma but I always come back to how terrible Ewan McGregor's wig was as Frank Churchill. Because it's pretty terrible.

Am glad things are getting better. <333

I--I. It's like a Scot mated with Aslan

My admittedly shaky understanding is that he filmed that pretty soon after Trainspotting, so he could not grow the requisite hair.

Thus: THE WIG.

Maybe THAT'S why Obi-Wan had the flip in Attack of the Clones.
