While Ivar was out, the Phillipses celebrated Jade's first birthday at home. Felicity helped her to blow out her candles...
Tumblr media
... and she aged up into a toddler! I gave her freckles thinking that Conrad had them but he actually doesn't so I fixed that in the next round. She still has a touch of the O'Donnells to my mind but maybe it's just the green eyes and wide mouth? Whatever, she's still sweet!
Tumblr media
Potty training time!
Tumblr media
The round came to an end that night so here's a family photo! Getting Jade in place took forever and had me tearing my hair out - she kept wanting to do an action and glitching halfway across the map. Is there a way to freeze toddlers? 😆
Anyway, at the end of the round Conrad is now 34, Felicity is 26, Jade is 1 and Ivar is 20. He'll move out next round, most likely to a small house rather than an apartment as I imagine he and Genevieve will want to get engaged and start a family straight away!
Let's have a round summary to finish off.

The Saint: The Miracle Tea Party (3.1, ITC, 1964)
"You'd better come upstairs."
"Why?"
"Because that's where your money is. That is what you came for, isn't it?"
"Alright, it'll be the last time anyway. If you think I'm going through any more of this, you're wrong. My nerves won't stand it."
#the saint#the miracle tea party#1964#itc#leslie charteris#paddy manning o'brine#roger moore#fabia drake#nanette newman#conrad phillips#basil dignam#charles houston#viktor viko#patrick westwood#robert brown#edward jewesbury#neville whiting#michael standing#series 3! and clearly someone was impressed with the job Moore did in directing Sophia (2.24) bc he got to do this opener too#either that or his sway was big enough now that he could demand it.. idk but i favour the former: Moore is a competent director who shoots#action well. we're back in the espionage world and once again Simon inexplicably has contacts in British Intelligence (and that are willing#to let him do his own thing in investigative terms). he's on the trail of enemy agents and spies‚ in a plot that's suspiciously similar to#the real world Portland spy ring which had been uncovered in 61; indeed‚ the adaptation of Charteris' story by the same name is very loose#and has been reworked to be more politically motivated and cold war themed. scriptwriter O'Brine was a prolific writer of spy thriller#novels (and may well have been a spy himself in ww2 and after; his life is rather mysterious to say the least). even more mysterious is the#actor behind the Big Bad: Viktor Viko has just one acting credit online‚ this Saint ep‚ altho there is an artist by the same name alive in#the mid 20th century. who knows? this is why i need a Pixley Bible for The Saint‚ there simply isn't enough information out there about the#production process. Conrad Phillips on the other hand would have been very well known to audiences as the star of William Tell (an early#ITC production from the late 50s) while Nanette Newman was fast becoming a star of the big screen with several big films in production#the legendary Fabia Drake‚ meanwhile‚ had actually taught a very young Roger Moore in his RADA days in the late 40s!

List of Cthulhu Mythos books
Tumblr media
Many fictional works of arcane literature appear in H. P. Lovecraft's cycle of interconnected works often known as the Cthulhu Mythos. The main literary purpose of these works is to explain how characters within the tales come by occult or esoterica (knowledge that is unknown to the general populace). However, in some cases the works themselves serve as an important plot device. Thus, in Robert Bloch's tale "The Shambler from the Stars", a weird fiction writer seals his doom by casting a spell from the arcane book De Vermis Mysteriis. Another purpose of these tomes was to give members of the Lovecraft Circle a means to pay homage to one another. Consequently, Clark Ashton Smith used Lovecraft's Necronomicon (his most prominent creation) in Smith's tale "Ubbo-Sathla". Likewise, Lovecraft used Robert E. Howard's Nameless Cults in his tale "Out of the Aeons". Thereafter, these texts and others appear in the works of numerous other Mythos authors (some of whom have added their own grimoires to the literary arcana), including August Derleth, Lin Carter, Brian Lumley, Jonathan L. Howard, and Ramsey Campbell.

Fry: We've been conducting an ongoing study to see what Zoidberg will and will not eat.
Bender: Grass? Yes!
Fry: Moss? Yes!
Bender: Leaves? Ohh, yes!
Fry: Shoelaces? Strange but true!
Bender: Worms? Sometimes!
Fry: Rocks? Usually nah.
Bender: Twigs? Usually!
Fry: Professor's cooking? Inconclusive!
Professor Farnsworth: How did you... test this?
Fry: You just hand him stuff and say "Eat this" and if he eats it, he eats it.
Professor Farnsworth: …I don't know how to feel about this.
Hermes: IS THAT WHERE ALL MY SPARE SHOELACES WENT?

When Felicity got home from a long day at work, all she wanted was to hop in a long, hot shower and relax, which meant she was less than pleased to discover that the shower was broken.
Grumbling to herself, she found the toolkit under the kitchen sink and got to work fixing it. "What has that useless husband of mine been doing all day if he hasn't even been able to fix this?" she moaned, supremely annoyed.
Tumblr media
She also discovered that Conrad hadn't even paid their taxes or bills for the round, so she had to log onto the PC and do it herself - much to her annoyance.
Tumblr media
Still, even in her exasperation, when Conrad asked if she felt in the mood that night she couldn't resist his charms. She'd never been able to and perhaps that was her weakness.

The Shadow of the Cat (1961)
"Well?"
"It's no use, the cat won't come near me."
"She doesn't trust you anymore. She saw. You'll have to get her now, Andrew. She knows."
#The Shadow of the Cat#hammer films#hammer horror#1961#british cinema#john gilling#George Baxt#barbara shelley#André morell#Conrad Phillips#William lucas#Freda Jackson#Richard Warner#Vanda godsell#Alan wheatley#Andrew Crawford#Catherine lacey#Kynaston reeves#Mikis Theodorakis#a lesser known and mildly unofficial Hammer horror (shot in their Bray studios and using their regular stable of cast and crew but notably#missing the studio name anywhere on the print‚ probably a complication of their then ties to Columbia in the US). it's an oddity‚ very much#a minor film in tone and execution and aesthetic‚ particularly compared to the gory technicolor work they were best known for at this point#old dark house full of weird family members meets vengeful moggy‚ with a decent script and a top drawer selection of brit#b movie players. Morell‚ the Hammer go to after Cushing and Lee passed on projects‚ is having a whale of a time as the crusty old patriarch#whose vindictiveness and spite is matched only by his panic as cat based horrors bump off more and more family members. Babs Shelley#is‚ as she always was‚ an absolute delight as the sole likeable member of this wicked clan (and a cat lover to boot). of particular note is#Theodorakis' highly unusual score‚ an eerily effective bit of sonic weirdness which is quite unlike anything Hammer used before or after#Gilling is in unusually experimental form too‚ providing distorted catseye pov shots at pivotal moments. a neglected gem from the studio

Review: 'Fire Island' Delivers Bowen Yang and Joel Kim Booster a Worthy Star-Making Vehicle
Review: ‘Fire Island’ Delivers Bowen Yang and Joel Kim Booster a Worthy Star-Making Vehicle
Diving into a subculture can be challenging. Using a modern-day place to tell a centuries-old tale can be even trickier. Yet Fire Island, released on Hulu via Fox Searchlight last weekend, lands a Jane Austen-sized plane on Long Island. Using the actual Fire Island and the yearly LBGBTQ+ party as the background, screenwriter and actor Joel Kim Booster tells a new-age version of Pride and…
