What I Read in May 2023

This series is still quite fun. ^_^

Yikes, poor Maria... (Mustang you better freaking not have!)

I have at last read a Juliet Marillier book! I enjoyed it, though a lot of the scenes with her cousin were stressful. I loved the different fairytales poking their heads up in different spots in the book as well. Tati just...ugh, she made everything ten times more difficult for everyone in her “oh but I’m in love see me swoon” bullcrap. She needed a swift kick in the rear! Also can we all appreciate how gorgeous this cover is?

Took a bit to get into this one, but once I saw the outline of what was happening I quite enjoyed it. (Also loved that Dirk had to ask a child for final confirmation on his musings. ) ^_^ 

I’m on the fence with this one, I did like it, but Hazuki is drawn kinda young...so I’ll see how things go in volume 2 (if they play up the nonsense antics or push for more creepy pederasty) and make up my mind.

Have made two recipes so far (Globi and  Epityrum) and they were good. ^_^ Looking forward to making more from here.

Reasons why YOU should watch Dirk Gently’s Holistic Detective Agency

What is Dirk Gently? Let’s set the scene. Todd Brotzman, a 33 year old loser with way too many secrets gets fired from his job after discovering a grisly murder scene in the penthouse of a hotel… where everyone was murdered by a hammerhead shark. Upon going home he meets a man breaking into his apartment with a smile on his face. Dirk Gently is a psychic detective here to solve the case, and Todd is going to help whether he likes it or not.

So why should you watch it? Here’s a totally unbiased definitely neutral explanation.

1. It’s Queer!!!!!!! Canonically queer characters (and Dirk… in his own category) play big roles!

2. It makes no sense! Dirk is a psychic detective… who isn’t psychic. Not psychic at all, thank you! Why would you assume that?

3. It crosses genre boundaries! Season one is science fiction and season two is fantasy. And guess what? They go together fabulously!

4. Elijah Wood? Elijah Wood.

5. Hidden not so hidden angst. Ever wonder what being experimented on as a child can do to your psych? Look no further, everyone in this show is traumatized and it is NOT swept aside.

6. The Rowdy Three. There are actually four… no, five. No, six! The Rowdy Three are originally one of 42 government experiments who escaped their captivity, now roaming the streets looking for fear to consume and something to smash. Oh, and they’re allies. Did I mention they’re allies?

7. It’s fun. It’s really fun. Electrified crossbows, flying trains, a purple people eater and a girl in a dog’s body are really just the beginning.

8. It’s sweet. It’s just a sweet show. The relationships built and the actions taken in this show are so, so important to me. The characters (the heroes at least) take responsibility for their actions, accept consequences and try to grow as people. What more can you ask for?

9. It would make me really happy

My last brain cell at 3 am

Dirk Gently's Holistic Detective Agency

[bellamer]

The funniest thing about my joke post taking off is the people in the reblogs going "Oh my golly gosh, these guys look so mean and scawwy !" When they're actually what the Lost Boys fandom THINK the canon Lost Boys act like. They act just like the fanon version of the Lost Boys

Also the complaint that it looks "Too woke" (which is code for too many minorities) that was funny too

Script of something that happened this morning.

"Oh no, I've decided I want to sit down, once I get on the train, and mark up my itinerary, which I printed before coming here because I do not trust technology. Yet, the only two pens I brought to England, I left at Douglas Adams' grave. How do I solve this before the train arrives?"

[looks around the station and sees:]

[remembers that episode of The Thick of It when Chris Addison is trying to convince the party to keep Hugh Abbott in his spot:] "Hugh, he's like W H Smith, isn't he? You don't think about him when he's here, but if he were gone one day, you'd be like - where am I going to get my pens?"

I went in and purchased some pens. Problem solved.

That has been a fun thing about London, the brand names off TV. When I first got in, I saw a plaza with about 6 stores in a row, none of which I'd seen in person before, but I realized I could hear all their names in Lee Mack's voice, because they're all staple references on panel show jokes. TK Max, B and Q, Asda. I know what those are. I've seen Would I Lie to You. I've heard lies set in all those places.

Anyway, I'm currently eating a sausage roll on a train like a character in a panel show joke. I had a sausage roll yesterday to see what was this food they always reference on TV. Had one today because I was hungry and they sold them at the train station. It's a good thing I don't live here because I probably shouldn't eat more of then.

I'm on a train to Cambridge, it left from King's Cross. And like I've said, when I get excited about Harry Potter buildings, it isn't really about Harry Potter. It's not even a case of seeing something British and thinking that's like Harry Potter (unlike, say, British stores that make me immediately say "it's like a panel show"). There are Harry Potter buildings in Canada - just not nearly as many of them, because the country in its current (colonized) form isn't nearly as old. London is full of them, and that's the novelty.

I could really just say "old buildings", that's what I mean. But not just that. As someone pointed out to me, the Empire State Building is old, and that's not a Harry Potter building. I mean old buildings that look like they could be in a fantasy novel.

So that's what I get excited about, not stuff directly related to Harry Potter. Mostly. But I have to say, it was cool to go to King's Cross and see Platforms 9 and 10, and the space between where you'd go for 9 3/4.

I got on the train at platform 9, got a picture of platforms 9 and 10 from the train, that was a cool thing that's actually Harry Potter related.

There was a pretend cart going into the wall that could not have been less interesting to me, it wasn't even in the right place. But I liked the actual station.

So I'm going to Cambridge to look for Harry Potter buildings. Although these might be better described as Douglas Adams buildings, as I really want to see where the first Dirk Gently book was set.

I'll see how it goes. I saw a few old fantasy building-based London tourist spots yesterday (calling them "old fantasy buildings" because calling Westminster Cathedral and St. Paul's Cathedral "Harry Potter buildings" seems a little too offensive, even for me), and as impressive as they were, I couldn't really get into them because there were so many people around. I enjoyed the quieter parts much more. After I finished with the giant impressive churches that were beautiful but left me cold, I sat for two hours in an old pub where I was the only person in a dimly lit basement with my non-alcoholic bitter beer, and I think I found God in there.

I'm... I'm joking about finding God in a pub when I couldn't in a church, but you should see the post I wrote while sitting there, as I contemplated the way it's easier to find magic in little quiet things than in big important things. No, actually, you shouldn't see that post. You're all lucky I decided the world does not need to hear me attach too much sentimentality to unimportant buildings once again, so I decided not to actually hit "post" on that one. In the less sentimental light of day, I will just say, look how cool this pub is:

And an update on my comedy tourism, I went to the Soho Theatre last night:

Oh, how's this for comedy tourism? I took this picture and immediately sent it to my dad, because his frequent playing of Radio 4 in the car when I was growing up did a significant amount to shape my entire personality. There used to be a lot of Sorry I Haven't a Clue on road trips.

Here, have some British countryside between London and Cambridge, taken from a train window:
