And that distastefulness in the Balkans, whatever comes of it, I just hope it’ll all be over by the start of opera season

I will cut adrift. I will sit on pavements and drink coffee. I will dream. I will take my mind out of its iron cage and let it swim - this fine October. Virginia Woolf

I've been from one side of this galaxy to the other, and I've seen a lot of strange stuff. But I've never seen one like *that*

I was spending a weekend with my grandparents; I wore a jacket and tie, you know, when people dressed for the theatre or when they went “downtown”, I was 11

I face the prospect of buying a new MacBook (granted, it’s 10 years old) because I can’t download new printer drivers because the MacBook is now obsolete and no longer supported with the latest OS updates that the latest printer drivers need; took me the bulk of an afternoon to figure this out.

The series reprise in the summer of 1979 helped me survive 13 weeks back at home with the parental units and a suburban life that was now alien to me after freshman year in the Big City. Oh. And don’t touch the figs.

Well, what else is there for a teen to do in New York City in 1922! They won’t let me into the speakeasies or dance halls. My parents are listening to our radio and can’t afford a Victrola. I need 25 cents for the pictures. What do you want me to do? Become a rent boy?

BOTD Mary Shelley At 21, she wrote one of the first science fiction novels, Frankenstein: The Modern Prometheus (1818), and reminded us that we are all responsible for the monsters we create.
