Darcy’s introduction in Pride and Prejudice is really ‘what if you had just had the worst month of your life because your ex-bestie tried to lover boy scam your baby sister out of her share of your dad’s life insurance and your friend dragged you to a shitty party in a dive bar in the neighbourhood where he’d just signed a short term lease, and you decided to let your bad mood show because you were never going to see any of the assholes in this stupid shitty bar EVER again. And your friend ended up making out with a girl he’d just met there while you were stuck talking to her sister who was less cute and then her mother appeared and started trying to matchmake and started saying how if she was twenty years younger she’d clime you like a redwood and ooooh is that a black Amex, guess the next round is on you hahhahahahaha, while her other sister (how many fucking sisters does she have?!) flashed an obviously fake ID at the bar and ordered six vodka-diet red bulls and no one in her family except the less-cute sister even tried to stop her. And you went home and consoled yourself that you would never see any of these people again but then you met them over and over again because they live next door and your friend and the cute sister keep meeting up to make out but not actually date and then. You fall in love with the less-cute sister because it turns out she’s really witty and charismatic but she already knows and remembers and resents the fact that on a day when you were in a shitty mood you called her mid out loud in a dive bar.’

I remember posting this house before. It was built for the late comedian Jackie Gleason who was fascinated by space ships. The 1959 mid-century modern in Cortlandt Manor, NY is really something special. It has 5bds, 6ba, 7,000sqft, $5.5m. This is the Mother Ship.

And this is the space ship, a guest house.

It was built by a Scandinavian shipbuilder. Isn't this a cool space? The house is so detailed it took 5 yrs. to build, and Mr. Gleason bought a whole marble quarry in Italy to make sure that there was enough high quality marble to finish it.

I wish they would've shown a better photo of the fireplace- it's massive.

This is the living room and the round area is a dance floor. The living room goes around it.

Here's a very large sectional in front of the wall of windows. Look at the fireplace- what is that coming out of the side? It doesn't look like another fireplace.

Check out the ceiling.

Then, over here there's a dining area and counter.

Curved metal cabinets in the kitchen. It's modern, yet still looks mid-century. Look at the lighted glass top shelves.

It has a huge bar. This is a party house. Mr. Gleason entertained many celebrities here including Marilyn Monroe, famous baseball player Joe DiMaggio, and Pres. Richard Nixon.

Here's a game room. Those are the "official" shuffle board and pool table of the house, so I wonder if they convey.

Look at the vintage built-in stereo equipment.

The primary bedroom is in an open loft overlooking the main floor.

It has a round bed under a canopy.

And, round closets.

And, look at the round bath.

The grounds are lovely.

There's a brook on the property.

And the current owner's lovingly tended container gardens

This looks like a garden shed.

And, this 1930s house on the property is called "The Barracks," and can be used as a guest house.

The huge fireplace also has a 3rd part outside on the deck.

Here it is all lit up at night.

8.6 acre lot.

Oh my god. So the most incredible thing happened at my FIRST EVER CON. I made Ewan a cardigan and was so excited and lucky to be able to give it to him at the autograph table. He IMMEDIATELY jumped up to take off his jacket and put it on. He was like "I fucking love this!"

He let me take pictures of him in it and even said come here, we'll get a picture together!"

THEN. When he said thank you a final time HE KISSED ME ON THE CHEEK.
