A Thousand and One

[green-grin]

I was gifted tickets for the Ocean at the End of the Lane play by my thoughtful partner, and promptly decided I was going to make the most of it organizing my very own Neil Gaiman Tour of London. I’ve been wanting to visit some of the magnificent sevens for ages - so it was two birds with one headstone, really. 

It first took a little bit of poking around Kensal Green cemetery to find the JF Huth mausoleum, where the iconic picture with Terry and Neil was taken - its carvings used for the book and show. Lots of stone angels in that graveyard, but also, charmingly, some snakes. If you ever want to find the mausoleum.

Then we payed our respects to Soho and Berwick Street staring both in Good Omens (kind of) and Neverwhere, before heading to the theater. The play was, needless to say, utterly beautiful. As were the adaptation choices : the books the boy reads - echoes of his own story, how they took the fantastic flea to life, how they made the father-son relationship even more central to the narrative. 

Under an unlikely bright november sun (vampires sadly weren’t seen), we went to both sides of Highgate cemetery, because of the Graveyard Book : "The graveyard in The Graveyard Book was built up equally from Highgate Cemetery West, Abney Park in Stoke Newington, and a little bit from Glasgow Necropolis." NG.

And finally we went to Battersea to have a sandwich in front of the iconic Good Omens bandstand. From an old stone bridge we watched the night turns the Thames black, without being eaten by the darkness ourselves - as it apparently only happens in the London Below. We walked almost 13 km that day, or more accurately, 8 miles. 

I’ve crossed the channel countless times and I will keep on doing it because there’s still so much to discover in this huge, old, wonderful city.

Get to Know Me: OOC

1. Dogs or Cats?

Cats! Dogs are very sweet and all (and I would die for every single golden retriever, specifically), but they’re generally just too high-energy and messy for me

2. YouTube celebrities or normal celebrities?

uh... neither? I don’t really follow celebrities at all

3. If you could live anywhere where would that be?

Somewhere in the middle of a city such that there is at least one of each of the following within my walking distance:

yarn store

cafe with comfy chairs that’ll let me hang out for several hours on very few drinks

restaurant with good but not too expensive food

alternately

in a castle with electricity and high speed internet somewhere in europe with the whole Crown fam - ideally without any stairs between me and where food happens (we were talking about this recently and oh man did it sound nice - also Luma was selling Germany specifically very well)

4. Disney or DreamWorks?  

uh... hm... DreamWorks I think. Although it’s asking a bit much of me to know which one did which movies

5. Favourite childhood TV show?

uhhhhhhh.... oh! Inspector Gadget. I fucking loved that show as a kid

6. The movie you’re looking forward to most in 2020

I... have no idea what’s even coming out in 2020 8D

7. Favorite book you read in 2019?

The Goblin Emperor, by Katherine Addison

and yeah, I know what you’re thinking, but I read this book entirely because of the title and 100% did not know what I was getting into with it. The “goblins” are honestly just elves of a different color, and it’s all about elf court politics. But look, look. This book is fantastic. The main character is this sweet kid who’s been thrown in way over his head and just tries to do his best and watching the people around him slowly come around is absolutely delightful. Also, there’s like... hints of absolutely massive world building that you don’t really get to see much of ‘cause you’re stuck in the court, but it makes me want to know so much more about this world. Also I want a book about his lesbian royal-bastard ship captain aunt, because she sounds fascinating.

8. Marvel or DC?

I don’t... really know anything about comics, sorry

9. If you choose Marvel favourite member of the X-Men? If you choose DC favourite Justice League member?

¯\_(ツ)_/¯

10. Night or Day?

day. My natural sleep cycle has me as a major night owl, but my night vision is absolute crap and I’m afraid to go outside after dark

11. Favourite Pokemon?  

I don’t know much about pokemon, but I love charmander because dragon and it’s cute :’)

12. Top 5 bands:

right, any top x is gonna depend heavily on what I happen to remember at the time, and I can’t swear to ordering, but

Charming Disaster

Abney Park

Lindsey Sterling (does she count?)

Nightwish

Blackmore’s Night

13. Top 10 books.

The Phantom of the Opera by Gaston Leroux

The Goblin Emperor by  Katherine Addison

Night Watch by Terry Pratchett

Maskerade by Terry Pratchett

Spinning Silver by Naomi Novik

Uprooted by Naomi Novik

The City of Brass and The Kingdom of Copper by S.A. Chakraborty

Jane Eyre by Charlotte Bronte

The Dark Descent of Elizabeth Frankenstein by Kiersten White

The Wheel of Time series, by Robert Jordan 

14. Top 4 movies

The Princess Bride

Dragonheart

Treasure Planet

How to Train Your Dragon

(also Megamind but I ran out of spots ;-;)

15. America or Europe?

Europe :’)

16. Tumblr or Twitter?

Tumblr - fuck twitter, I refuse to use it

17. Pro-choice or Pro-life?

CHOICE

18. Favorite YouTuber?

I don’t... I don’t know any YouTubers? I don’t really... watch things much

19. Favorite author ?

Terry Pratchett

20. Tea or Coffee?

Tea. I miss coffee so much, but I can’t drink it anymore :< also I can’t drink real tea, so I live on herbal tea. Caffeine, why must you hate me so?

21. OTP?

gonna say... Razai and Kyoto. Also Teledji and Tulala. And a bunch of pairings that exist only inside my head for daydream purposes >_>

22. Do you play an instrument/sing ?

not really. got piano lessons as a kid, but don’t remember any of it. Wish I could play the violin tho, I love those

Loving

Nella Virginia degli anni cinquanta, la forza dell’amore si oppone alla segregazione razziale. Privo di eccessi melodrammatici, il film è tuttavia molto più convenzionale e prevedibile di quanto vorrebbe far credere. (more…)

Loving    [trailer]

Wonderful portrait of a couple in love by Negga and Edgerton.

Hard to believe that these events took place only about 50 years ago. You would think it was more like 100 or 150 years ago. Then again, it explains a lot of what is still going on in the US today. Many members of the new US administration sound and look as if they would feel right at home during the time which the movie takes place. And they will try to turn back the time.

Movie Review: Loving (2016)

Movie Review: Loving (2016)

Loving is based on the true story of Richard and Mildred Loving who were an interracial couple living in Virginia in the late 1950s. Their marriage was considered illegal in the state and the couple were arrested. The story focuses on their attempt to find justice so they could stay close to their families and friends while raising their kids the way they saw fit. It’s a compelling case that…
