25 26 and 29 for the fandom asks!

Hi, EvilMouse! Happy liminal Thursday!

25: best movie you watched this year

You know, I have no idea whether this means best new movie or best any movie. If it is best new movie, then it is "See How They Run," which is a love letter to Wes Anderson and Agatha Christie.

Honorable Mention: I saw Spirited Away and Space Sweepers for the first time this year, even though they didn't come out this year. I really liked them.

26: best song you listened to this year

5 Seconds of Summer: "Complete Mess"

It reminds me so much of my OC Muffin. And I really like the dreamy quality. I had so many driveway moments this summer.

29: fandom “first” you accomplished this year

Umm.... I posted the 200th story in the Thryce collection? I also took some baby steps into the Athrabeth corner of the Tolkien fandom and wrote two stories. It seems to be a lot like the Thryce fandom- tiny and devoted and appreciative of any content.

Anyone else? Send me an ask! I called in sick today for this nasty chest crud (not the 'rona, we checked) so otherwise I'll spend the day on the sofa playing Ghost of Tsushima trying to find 8 pieces of silk and Petting All The Foxes.

Little Red Monkey (The Case Of The Red Monkey, 1955)

"My instructions are to hand Dushenko over to you at the airport. Until then he's in my charge. When you're ready for him, let me know."

FRANKENSTEIN

Belgrade Theatre, Coventry, Thursday 3rd October, 2019

  Rona Munro’s new stage adaptation of the novel that gave birth to the genre of science fiction puts its author, Mary Shelley at the centre of the action.  Tightly wound, spirited and full of youthful vigour, Mary is bursting with creativity as, before our very eyes, she rights the book that will render her immortal.   She…
