Fight Club (1999) was pretty awesome. Definitely one of my favorites.

At one point Pitt's character tells Norton's character "I look like you wanna look, I fuck like you wanna fuck..." Actually, I think I wanna look like [1999] Edward Norton looks. And I think I want him to fuck me. And/or I want to fuck him.

Anyway, I just had my hot bath (as I usually do) sipping on a cognac (which I rarely do).

Life is good.

The #British emigrant #ship #Josephine #Willis sank off #Kent near #Folkestone in 1856 while transporting people to #NewZealand. 70 lives were lost, including #Captain #Edward #Canney. The ship lies in 2 parts on the #seabed, 23 metres #deep.

The ship contained a large quantity of exceptionally #rare #ceramics. Many are in pristine condition and are unknown in current #museum collections.

This unremarkable water gate is in St. Thomas tower and was one of the most important river entrances to the Tower of London. The gate was built by #Edward I in 1270 on #thames to provide entrance to the Tower. Origi­nally called the Water Gate became #Traitor’sGate since the gate became an entrance into the Tower for prisoners accused of treason, such as Anne Boleyn and Sir Thomas Moore. #travel #London #photos taken in 2016. #history

As we reach the end of #Advent, here is a fragment of a #Tudor #carol from #Christmas carolles newely imprinted, 1547

Farewell aduent & haue good daye Chrystmas is come, nowe go thy way.
Get the hence what doest thou here
Thou hast no loue of no beggere
Thou makest vs fast with euyll chere
With farewell aduent.
Thou takest on ye more thā doth ye lent
Theu dwellest so long that yu art shent

[Eleanor Parker has written an excellent article about earlier versions of the song here

This really nice @litstudies thing happened today. Many thanks to the #AmericanLiteratureSociety and the 1921 Prize Committee for recognizing my essay on #Poe, #Magritte, and #Edward James, the man in the mirror. And congratulations to all of the winners! https://americanliteraturesociety.wordpress.com/1921-prize-in-american-literature/

Things I've achieved today:
practised #duolingo, had #breakfast, did some #LessonPrep, then found out #LessonCancelled, more #LessonPrep, #napped, more #duolingo, #lunch.
If I didn't know any better I'd think I was reading an extract from my cat's day, but with less #French. And #Teaching.

I’m a writer of #historicalfiction currently working on an #EighteenthCentury #novel. It’s inspired by #johnhunter , #bodysnatchers and #resurrectionists. I’m enjoying the #research as much as anything else and I now have a #bookmountain to get through. I have a #cat called #Edward which is about the only interesting biographical nugget of info I can offer as I’m currently overwhelmed by lots of work which is making me a dull gal indeed #selfemployed #tutor

I'm working on a book about #Poe and authors/artists influenced by him. Here are two essays that will become chapters. One is on Poe and #Nabokov; the other is on Poe and #Magritte and a little known, but very important patron of Surrealists, #Edward James. I hope you like! Oh, and if you would like a PDF, message me and I'll email it to you.
