So what’s so unique about this adaption? For starters, the show’s heart lies not in just one couple but three. Throughout the season, Romeo and Juliet will be played by male/male, female/female and male/female pairings, portraying love in its many forms.

anna, what do you think they guys will do for the 11 year anniversary? ik it’s not as big deal as 10 was tho

Honestly, I thought it would be the 5sos5 doc. But they split it so maybe it will come in more pieces. Maybe drop a tmh live album? I don't know, they have a few things they could do, like some behind the scenes from the 5sos show, making the ono available, the tmh album. There's also the possibility of absolutely nothing happening cuz they'll be in the middle of the Australian leg of the tour so, who knows kspakapakapal

is there a presentation (showing? idk can't english right now) of Norma on YouTube you would recommend?

I actually first saw Norma in a theatre a few weeks ago ahaha so I haven't really checked out what's on Youtube so far, sorry! I did a quick search, though, and I found this one from 2011 (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kO3xQWhrePE) and this one from 1978 by the Sydney Opera House (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GN75XDDm_DI), which also happens to have subtitles in a few languages!

From what I could see, the first one has more of a minimalistic scenography, while the second is full-on period(?) costumes. Personally, I enjoy more Pollione's voice from the first one while maybe preferring Norma's from the second one, which... I just now realize it doesn't help much in making a decision, sorry :')

Carol Diann Johnson was born in the Bronx, New York City, on July 17, 1935, to John Johnson, a subway conductor, and Mabel (Faulk), a nurse. While Carroll was still an infant, the family moved to Harlem, where she grew up except for a brief period in which her parents had left her with an aunt in North Carolina. She attended Music and Art High School, and was a classmate of Billy Dee Williams. In many interviews about her childhood, Carroll recalls her parents' support, and their enrolling her in dance, singing, and modeling classes. By the time Carroll was 15, she was modeling for Ebony. "She also began entering television contests, including Arthur Godfrey's Talent Scouts, under the name Diahann Carroll." After graduating from high school, she attended New York University, where she majored in sociology, "but she left before graduating to pursue a show-business career, promising her family that if the career did not materialize after two years, she would return to college.

Carroll's big break came at the age of 18, when she appeared as a contestant on the DuMont Television Network program, Chance of a Lifetime, hosted by Dennis James. On the show, which aired January 8, 1954, she took the $1,000 top prize for a rendition of the Jerome Kern/Oscar Hammerstein song, "Why Was I Born?" She went on to win the following four weeks. Engagements at Manhattan's Café Society and Latin Quarter, nightclubs soon followed.

Carroll's film debut was a supporting role in Carmen Jones (1954), as a friend to the sultry lead character played by Dorothy Dandridge. That same year, she was nominated for a Tony Award for Best Featured Actress in a Musical for her role in the Broadway musical, House of Flowers. A few years later, she played Clara in the film version of George Gershwin's Porgy and Bess (1959), but her character's singing parts were dubbed by opera singer Loulie Jean Norman. The following year, Carroll made a guest appearance in the series Peter Gunn, in the episode "Sing a Song of Murder" (1960). In the next two years, she starred with Sidney Poitier, Paul Newman, and Joanne Woodward in the film Paris Blues (1961) and won the 1962 Tony Award for Best Actress in a Musical (the first time for a Black woman) for portraying Barbara Woodruff in the Samuel A. Taylor and Richard Rodgers musical No Strings. Twelve years later, she was nominated for an Academy Award for Best Actress for her starring role alongside James Earl Jones in the film Claudine (1974), which part had been written specifically for actress Diana Sands (who had made guest appearances on Julia as Carroll's cousin Sara), but shortly before filming was to begin, Sands learned she was terminally ill with cancer. Sands attempted to carry on with the role, but as filming began, she became too ill to continue and recommended her friend Carroll take over the role. Sands died in September 1973, before the film's release in April 1974.

Carroll is known for her titular role in the television series Julia (1968-71), which made her the first African-American actress to star in her own television series who did not play a domestic worker. That role won her the Golden Globe Award for Best TV Star – Female for its first year, and a nomination for an Primetime Emmy Award in 1969. Some of Carroll's earlier work also included appearances on shows hosted by Johnny Carson, Judy Garland, Merv Griffin, Jack Paar, and Ed Sullivan, and on The Hollywood Palace variety show. In 1984, Carroll joined the nighttime soap opera Dynasty at the end of its fourth season as the mixed-race jet set diva Dominique Deveraux, Blake Carrington's half-sister. Her high-profile role on Dynasty also reunited her with her schoolmate Billy Dee Williams, who briefly played her onscreen husband Brady Lloyd. Carroll remained on the show and made several appearances on its short-lived spin-off, The Colbys until she departed at the end of the seventh season in 1987. In 1989, she began the recurring role of Marion Gilbert in A Different World, for which she received her third Emmy nomination that same year.

In 1991, Carroll portrayed Eleanor Potter, the doting, concerned, and protective wife of Jimmy Potter (portrayed by Chuck Patterson), in the musical drama film The Five Heartbeats (1991), also featuring actor and musician Robert Townsend and Michael Wright. She reunited with Billy Dee Williams again in 1995, portraying his character's wife Mrs. Greyson in Lonesome Dove: The Series. The following year, Carroll starred as the self-loving and deluded silent movie star Norma Desmond in the Canadian production of Andrew Lloyd Webber's musical version of the film Sunset Boulevard. In 2001, Carroll made her animation debut in The Legend of Tarzan, in which she voiced Queen La, ruler of the ancient city of Opar.

In 2006, Carroll appeared in several episodes the television medical drama Grey's Anatomy as Jane Burke, the demanding mother of Dr. Preston Burke. From 2008 to 2014, she appeared on USA Network's series White Collar in the recurring role of June, the savvy widow who rents out her guest room to Neal Caffrey. In 2010, Carroll was featured in UniGlobe Entertainment's breast cancer docudrama titled 1 a Minute and appeared as Nana in two Lifetime movie adaptations of Patricia Cornwell’s novels: At Risk and The Front.

In 2013, Carroll was present on stage at the 65th Primetime Emmy Awards to briefly speak about being the first African-American nominated for a Primetime Emmy Award. She was quoted as saying about Kerry Washington, nominated for Scandal, "She better get this award."

Carroll was a founding member of the Celebrity Action Council, a volunteer group of celebrity women who served the women's outreach of the Los Angeles Mission, working with women in rehabilitation from problems with alcohol, drugs, or prostitution. She helped to form the group along with other female television personalities including Mary Frann, Linda Gray, Donna Mills, and Joan Van Ark.

Carroll was diagnosed with breast cancer in 1997. She said the diagnosis "stunned" her, because there was no family history of breast cancer, and she had always led a healthy lifestyle. She underwent nine weeks of radiation therapy and had been clear for years after the diagnosis. She frequently spoke of the need for early detection and prevention of the disease. She died from cancer at her home in West Hollywood, California, on October 4, 2019, at the age of 84. Carroll also had dementia at the time of her death, though actor Marc Copage, who played her character's son on Julia, said that she did not appear to show serious signs of cognitive decline as late as 2017. A memorial service was held in November 24, 2019, at the Helen Hayes Theater in New York City.

*if collected or in translation most of the best editions today would not have been available to the characters pre-1940. It’s possible Louis is meant to have read them in their original French in some cases, but it would provide for a different experience. Lydia Davis’ Madame Bovary, for example, attempts to replicate this.

25 and 26 for mash ask!

25 . what’s the first episode you remember seeing ? if you can’t remember , which episode do you think you’ve seen the most times ?

Death Takes a Holiday, but not the whole thing. I was very, very young. Probably around five. We didn't watch a lot of TV, but my mom would put it on while folding laundry. I saw a few minutes of something I assumed was a soap opera (she was a General Hospital fan). Specifically, I saw the scene where the patient dies and Hawkeye moves the hand on the clock to falsify the time of death. I very clearly remember "look, he made it" "time of death" and hearing the number "five." I also vaguely remember the patient being referred to as a kid. I... did not understand the scene very well. I thought Hawkeye (whose name I didn't know) was moving the clock back, saying okay, the kid hasn't died yet, work through what went wrong to the distraught other doctor (BJ). In hindsight this would be an insane thing to do, but what did I know? I learned the phrase "time of death" from this scene and also wildly misunderstood it. I thought if you were in the middle of a dramatic surgery, a time of death was a kind of ultimate deadline. If you don't turn things around fast, the patient will die by this time. Not long after, I actually recreated this scene (well, my understanding of it) in a dramatic surgery role play with my cousin (our patient was imaginary, we were both doctors) and even explained my (very wrong) understanding of time of death. I even had a clock, because we had a toy clock at my grandparents' house. Dramatic surgery role play was a common game for me as a kid. Episode I've seen the most times....... it might be Goodbye, Farewell, and Amen, which I've seen all the way through more than a dozen times, though I eventually lost track of the exact count. There are a handful of others I've watch a lot of times, including Dr. Pierce and Mr. Hyde, The Late Captain Pierce, The General's Practitioner, The Grim Reaper, and The Best of Enemies.

26 . wildcard ! blog gets to pick whichever question they want to answer

Monumental Building, Court Street and Ohio Avenue, Sidney, OH by Warren LeMay

Via Flickr:

Built in 1875-1877, this Gothic Revival-style building was built to house a municipal opera house on the top floor and offices for the City of Sidney, and was dedicated as a memorial to those from Shelby County who had died in the Civil War. The building features a stone-clad front facade and red brick-clad rear and side facades, a mansard roof, steep gables at the dormers and facades, gothic arched two-over-two windows, bracketed cornice, buttresses at the corners with gables at the top, a wall former on the front facade with a statue niche at the top, corinthian pilasters and decorative trim, trifoil windows at the corners of the second floor, oxeye windows at the corners of the fourth floor, gabled dormers, a first floor retail shopfront at the front of the building with stone pilasters and replacement storefronts, a south entrance with a stone surround, oxeye window above, and corinthian engaged columns, garage bays at the west end of the south facade, with three gables above, and recessed storefronts on the south facade with arcades featuring gothic arches and corinthian columns, separated by stone pilasters. The building housed the City of Sidney, the Sidney Police Department, and the Sidney Fire Department until 1939, when the Municipal Building was built on on West Avenue, with the building presently housing the municipal court, along with the offices of the Shelby County Veterans Services. The building is a contributing structure in the Sidney Courthouse Square Historic District, listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1980.
