New Edinburgh spreadsheet. I made a bunch of changes for a variety of reasons, including, I learned that I'll have other opportunities to get the Guy Williams, Greg Larsen, and Sara Pascoe shows, so I replaced them with people I won't. Harriet Kemsley and Chris Cantrill are streaming on NextUp so I replaced them too. The goal here is to maximize volume of shows seen so I can have the broadest possible picture of what they all are. That is definitely the best way to consume art, right? That's what you're supposed to do, with art?

(There are exceptions, I've heard the Nish Kumar and Mark Watson and Sarah Keyworth and Tom Ballard shows before because they've recorded early versions in various places, but I like them enough to be willing to pay to be in a room with those people and hear it again.)

I was also pleased to see NextUp are also filming Amy Gledhill, Catherine Bohart, and Milo Edwards, as they were on my list as well, but didn't get onto my schedule for whatever reason (in Gledhill's case, because she arrives after I leave). And some other people. NextUp isn't filming as much this year as they did last year, unless they end up announcing a lot more. I watched 21 NextUp streams from Edinburgh 2023, and there were a whole lot that I didn't watch. So far, they've only announced 18 from 2024. I might just watch all of them this year. Or most of them. I'll give Tony Law a miss. Not sure I could sit through a whole hour of Jessie Cave. Not a big fan of Daliso Chaponda either. But I'll probably watch the rest.

Before, I had two issues of booking no time between shows, because they were in the same building and I hadn't factored in the separate rooms, so I thought they were in the same venue and one couldn't run into the other. I've solved one of those problems by replacing Guy Williams with Mat Ewins, which I think was good, because Mat Ewins is one of those comedians I keep reading is very very good, but I watched his TV special and didn't get much out of it, I don't think he translates well to recordings. You have to be in the room for it, so I guess I'll take this rare opportunity to be in a room with him and see what that's like. I still have the issue of Kiri Pritchard-McLean running into Sophie Duker. They're both shows that I really want to see, and neither fits into the schedule anywhere else, so my current plan is to just sit at the back of both rooms and hope those rooms are near each other so I can get from one to the other. Worst comes to worst I guess I miss Sophie's show and it is likely to get filmed at some point, probably. But hopefully it's fine. Constantly checking the time as I get anxious that this show will run too long and I'll miss the next one - that's the best way to consume art, right?

I think the rest of it's okay, though. For every other situation where there's half an hour or less time than that between the end of one show and the start of the next, they're either in the same venue, or in venues that are a fairly short walk apart. That hopefully leaves room for even if one venue runs a bit behind or a show runs long, though I guess I'll see how well that actually works out. I'm aware of the possibility that I might miss some stuff. I am currently mentally preparing myself for the possibility that I might miss some stuff. It is possible that the fact that I have been creating this trip in my mind for four years, and actively planning this specific one for a year, is putting too much pressure on the situation. It is fine, I know it's not the end of the world if things go wrong. That probably actually is the best way to consume art. Which is a shame, because out of all things I've claimed in this post about my mentality toward Edinburgh, that's the only one where I'm lying.

I added some music things at the end of a couple of nights. The last time I was at a festival like this - a really big one that goes all over the place - was Celtic Colours, a Celtic folk festival (mainly music, but they also had cultural events and stuff, I think my mother learned to make a quilt, my dad and I were just there for the music) in Cape Breton, Nova Scotia. I've been there a couple of times, the last time I went was in 2019, it was fucking amazing, one of the best weeks of my life. We saw a bunch of incredible concerts for which we'd carefully planned and bought tickets, but my dad and I talked after the festival, and found that for both of us, if we were pressed to pick our top favourite memory from the week, it was a night spent at the Red Shoe Pub in Mabu, Cape Breton. It was a pub that has live Celtic music all the time, not just during the festival, we just showed up there on a couple of nights, and got to have some food while listening to local people who'd brought their own instruments and used the pub's piano, and it was like nothing we have at home, it was so much fun.

I saw that there's a pub in Edinburgh that advertises live Celtic music throughout the Fringe Festival but also just has live Celtic music all year-round, doesn't require booking tickets or anything, thought it might be fun, so I left a couple of nights open to just go to that pub, in case that also turns out to be a surprise highlight. There's every chance that it'll turn out to be so overcrowded I can't even get in and/or not enjoyable at all, but that's fine, if that turns out to be the case then going back to the Air B&B and getting some extra sleep probably won't be the worst thing I could do.

I put music in brown and comedy in yellow. I think that's about the balance I want. Couple of music things because I can't be a lifelong Celtic music fan who goes to Celticland for the first time and doesn't see music. Mainly comedy. Probably not enough time for, you know, the activities of daily living.

I think that might actually be the final version of the spreadsheet. It has a few more people I don't know well on it than the previous versions, all people I've looked up and think look good and had some reason for booking them, but figured I should take a few more chances as that's what you do at festivals. I might have overbooked. But I'd rather overbook than underbook. I have all that plus I got ridiculously lucky with what's playing in London while I'm there - Daniel Kitson, Brynley Stent, Desiree Burch, and a Nish Kumar WIP, obviously, because otherwise I wouldn't be booked to see Nish Kumar enough times. It's not like I've heard enough versions of Nish Kumar yet (I'll be honest: I've already heard a lot of versions of Nish Kumar's current material, and I'm nowhere near sick of it, he may have written a perfect stand-up show).

I've sorted out my itinerary for London, too. And the couple of Scottish Highland days in between London and Edinburgh. Got my British cash. I think I have everything. I'm leaving in nine days. Still doesn't feel like a real thing. I've spent so much time going all over Edinburgh and London and Fort William and Mallaig in Google Earth street view, but it feels like I'm playing the Sims. It's not a real place.

Poldark Minor Characters Appreciation 2 Weeks:

Day 5: A minor character you want to get back, but they magically disappeared and you’re sad - Ruth Teague-Treneglos

Ruth disappears quite quickly from both the series and the books, and wasn’t perhaps the nicest person ever, but I feel like she was a really interesting antagonistic(ish) figure with potential of future character development (it would require some changes, but it’s an adaptation after all). I remember that in the books she was mentioned to be somewhat respected by George, and her marriage to John Treneglos not being a happy one. It would be great to see another, more vulnerable side of Ruth - for example when she gave birth to a firstborn daughter, disappointing basically everybody in her husband’s family, and see her coping with that.

 Oh my God...Nancy Drew would be ashamed of me.

I LOVED the novels as a kid, and I only just found out that “Carolyn Keene” was actually a pseudonym...and the series was written by multiple ghostwriters.

...The book series spanned over 75 years, so you’d think I would’ve caught on earlier...but I guess I figured the books stopped being published earlier than that?

Anyway, shout out to Mildred Wirt Benson, who wrote the first 23 Nancy Drew books as Carolyn Keene. Also Walter Karig, George Waller Jr., Margaret Scherf, Whilemina Rankin,  Alma Sasse, Harriet Adams, Patricia Doll, Grace Gote, Lynn Ealer, Priscilla Baker-Carr, June Dunn, Ann Shultes, Mary Fischer, Nancy Axelrad, Sharon Wagner, Richard Ballard, and James Duncan Lawrence...and that only takes us up to 1985!

I also wanna take this opportunity to give appreciation to all writers who have ever worked under pseudonyms, and have been either forced not to take credit or been too shy and humble to take that credit. Your have contributed so much to the world of literature and the world is an incredible place because of you and your work.

Class War

TO SIR WITH LOVE Grand Theatre, Wolverhampton, Tuesday 22nd October, 2013 E R Braithwaite’s autobiographical story covers familiar ground.  It’s not the first tale (and definitely not the last) to deal with an unruly class of kids who are eventually tamed by an unconventional teacher.  There are ups and downs and plenty of respect is earned along the way.  The storyline has become something of a…

[mormon-mormon-mormon]

Okay, if you haven't checked it out, you need to check out "All In."

It's an LDS Living podcast, and it's amazing. Every week, they pick a member(s) of the church to feature in an episode and ask them how the gospel relates to their life. The person features is normally a "famous" Mormon. The title "All In" comes from the last question they ask each person: "What does it mean to you to be all in the gospel of Jesus Christ?"

So I found out about this podcast because their fourth episode was with author Brandon Mull, and I love Brandon Mull. LDS Living posted about it on their Instagram, and so I added the podcast to my Google account.

It took me a couple of weeks to actually listen to it, and when I did, I only listened to that episode. On repeat. For like three weeks. I didnt want to listen to the other episodes and be disappointed. I knew who Brandon Mull was; I didn't know any of these other people.

The first episode is about two women who specialize in early Saints church history. The second is about a man who has a nonprofit that rescues trafficked kids. One is about Essentialism. Another is about being single in the church. One is about racism. A woman shares her story about almost getting killed. All of these stories are so raw and powerful. The testimonies borne and the strength and compassion in them makes my day so much brighter.

I would like to share one of my favorite episodes though. It's the second episode, and it features Tim Ballard, who started a nonprofit to stop the trafficking and slavery of children. His story of how he started his organization and how his work builds his testimony is so moving and compelling.

But what really gets me is when he starts talking about Harriet Jacobs. Harriet was a slave in 1800s America who escaped and then helped other slaves escape as the Civil War broke out. Tim Ballard wrote a book that compares her experiences and his experiences in freeing people. He admits their not on the same level, and not the same type though.

What really moves me is how passionately he speaks about her though. This black woman is his hero. I just cannot wait for them to meet in the hereafter and for this white man to sit at her feet and gush about how amazing she is and what an inspiration she is to him. That relationship is something special.

Listen guys, All In is free on Google, iTunes, and Spotify. It's really so wonderful and invigorating. I promise you will enjoy it.

ED BOOKS

I stole this from mpa (because I wanted to save it) but I’m going to highlight those I’VE READ... also I might add some others as time goes... 

Wintergirls by Laurie Halse Anderson (it was a good read!)

Solitaire by Aimee Liu * (Considered first anorexia memoir. Thus, there are points when EDs aren't completely understood, but still totally worth the read. Available through KU.)

Unbearable Lightness: A Story of Loss and Gain by Portia de Rossi (it was really good and real tbh)* (One of my faves! A memoir that really captivated me)

Wasted: A Memoir of Anorexia and Bulimia * (Really is what it says on the tin and so much more. This memoir captures the darkest parts of EDs and is done very logically, stabilizing itself with facts that are intermixed by the chaos of EDs).

Just Listen by Sarah Dessen (Romance)

Thin by Lauren Greenfield (Nonfiction elements. Like the TV documentary of the same name, but of course, the book has more details.)

The Best Little Girl in the World by Steven Levenkron (NOT like the movie. Based on research of EDs in figure skating and gymnastics.)

Perfect by Natasha Friend

Purge: Rehab Diaries by Nicole J. Johns

Skinny by Ibi Kasliky

Loud Girl in the House of Myself: A Memoir of a Strange Girl by Stacy Pershall

Gaining: The Truth about Life After EDs by Aimee Liu (same author as Solitaire)

Identical by Ellen Hopkins * (Written in same manner as her other books, which is basically more like a poem than traditional novel format. LOVE this book and recommend the authors other, non ED books)

Letting Ana Go by Anonymous

Massive by Julia Bell

Keeping the Moon by Sarah Dessen (Romance)

Hungry: A Young Model's Story of Appetite Ambition and the Ultimate Embrace of Curves

She's Come Undone by Wally Lamb

Thin by Grace Bowman (memoir)

The Disappearing Girl by Heather Topham Wood (Romance, KU)

After the Strawberry by Adrienne Maria Vrettos

Purge by Sarah Darer Littman

Beautiful Me by Natasha Jennings

Hunger Point by Jillian Medoff (it was okay, the sister of mc has an ed)

Pointe by Brandy Colbert (Very dramatic. Deals with sexual abuse and also kidnapping in addition to an ED. Still not sure how I feel about this book, but a read that is very interesting, especially for those who like reading all things ballet. Also, this is nice because a black girl is not only a ballet dancer, but also has an ED, which is not portrayed enough!)

Looks by Madeleine George

Kessa by Steven Levenkron (I'd say this is probably for younger readers, but hey, you're never too old to read any book in my mind!)

My Sister's Bones by Cathi Hanauer * (Really liked this book and it isn't necessarily because of the ED part of it. I just like the whole feel and author's style)

Parperweight by Meg Haston

You Remind Me of You: A Poetry Memoir by Eireann Corrigan

Chalked Up: Inside Elite Gymnastics' Merciless Coaching, Overzealous Parents, Eating Disorders and Elusive Olympic Dreams by Jennifer Sey (Wow, that's a mouth full!)

Believarexic by J.J. Johnson

Feeling For Bones by Bethany Pierce

More Than You Can Chew by Marnelle Tokio

A Dance of Sisters by Tracey Porter

Thin (Sharing Spaces Book 3) by Alicia Michaels (This is part of a romance series and is the third book. This one focuses on the ED character, but there are hints to the ED in other books. You don't necessarily need to read the other books in the series and can figure things out without reading them first. I actually read this book before the others)
