anyone remember that time sondheim wrote a tv musical, based on a john collier story, that starred norman bates and liesl von trapp and was basically an episode of the twilight zone? it's called evening primrose, and it's good. and this is my favourite song from it.

(I am neither metal nor festive; apologies.)

*applauds all the musical chaos and joy above me*

*deposits below earnestness*

hello I'm back, karaoke makes me feel better in bad times.

honestly didn't have the energy to belt. but whatever, still fun! anyway no one can come near ellen greene on this one.

Suddenly Seymour

*heart eyes*

Absolutely beautiful.

Two things:

1) I love seeing poetry in this thread. Haven't finished listening to Four Quartets but thank you Abbie for reading "Instructions"—I love that poem. I'm not even mad you beat me to it.

2) Katelynne, you have an excellent reading voice, and also excellent taste in poems

Definitely time for me to give Upstream Color a rewatch, because my reaction at the time was visceral dislike and yet I'm inclined to think it's my kind of film. So. Hoping my present self is at a better place to receive this one.

Someone had to. Thanks for being the one!

What a heckin' banger!!

YES. Absolutely. I love that production.

(It is ultimate a little too heavy on the comedy to be my favourite version of Much Ado. But God I am glad it exists.)

1. Haven't seen Rosencrantz and Gildenstern Are Dead. Been on the list for ages. Maybe I'll make it my weekend viewing.

2. Though I can't act to save my life, I've always found the actual memorizing of Shakespeare to be pretty straightforward. It's poetry. Totally clicks in my brain.

But then, I memorize things for fun, so maybe I'm just weird.

Some shape of beauty moves away the pall from our dark spirits.

Fuck yeah.

So. BC is pretty much shut down at this point: public spaces and restaurants are closed, the mandate is to stay isolated and try not to interact with people outside your household. My organization and other social service providers are getting ready to move to essential services mode.

I'm working from home, trying to stay on top of our external COVID-19 communications. I'm glad to be working, but I'm sure I'll be feeling overwhelmed at various moments throughout this and the coming weeks.

Wanted to drop in and say that:

1) I am gathering some resources on my website. Health info, uplifting news, entertainment in the time of social distancing, thoughts on how you can do good and help others. Feel free to check it out, to suggest things to add.

2) If anyone needs anything, from a chat to a few dollars to help tide them over, I am here for you. I can only give what I can give, but I am in a better position than many.

This place is home. I have been stressed, and even had a bit of a meltdown last week, and this place has helped me to feel connected and supported during this pandemic. So. Here for y'all. We're really in this now, but we're in it together.
