penvellyn replied to your post: I finished The Wolves of Mercy Falls trilogy today.
ISN’T IT, THOUGH? I want more details. Who is your favorite character? YOU MUST CHOOSE.
Cole St. Clair, no contest.
He is such a gigantic, over-the-top man. He is larger than life, he’s destructive, he’s an addict, a genius, and a madman. And yet he is so real. Even when you hate him—and you...
I finished The Wolves of Mercy Falls trilogy...
IT WAS AWESOME.

I am quite phenomenally hung over today.
This is what happens when your dad has what amounts to a high school reunion at your house.
So today’s been super lazy, obviously, and I’ve had all afternoon to write, and I have written a grand total of four words and thrown my laptop away in disgust about sixty times. It’s like I have a cacophony of worlds in my head, but not one of them is kind enough to translate itself onto...
thehollandroad asked: Would you believe me if I told you I genuinely forgot to go to any museums or archaeological sites that entire week? Because it's true. I remembered in the airport when I was looking for a postcard and saw one for Hadrian's Gate..

I saw Harry Potter last night.
I was expecting to cry.

fuckyeahancienthistory:
So once upon a time oh my god so long ago, the kindly nihilseddeus suggested that it would be cool if we compared popular interactions with history—like films like Gladiator, for example—with the scholarly version of what happened.
Awesome idea, except (this is embarrassing) I had never seen Gladiator. So I watched it, just for you.

SO HIPSTER OKAY STOP TRYING TO BE ME WITH YOUR GLASSES I HAD GLASSES BEFORE THEY WERE COOL
It’s true: the real reason I need glasses is not because I’m suffering eye fatigue but because I want to be Megan AND NOTHING I DO WILL EVER BE GOOD ENOUGH FOR HER.
Today, I found out that I need reading glasses.

The casting gods were smiling that day.
And they said themselves, “We shall cast Chris Hemsworth as a rugged woodsy character, specifically to fuck with Amelia Elizabeth’s ovaries.”
And it was good.

(This was meant to be an ask, but Tumblr is being shit, so I’m just going to post it for her.)
Dear Amelia,
I just thought you ought to know that when I move to Canada I will be getting you into the Metal Gear Solid games because they are ridiculously amazing. It is basically the X-Men: First Class of the video game world.
“But Dylan, you charismatic stallion!” I hear...

tony-the-mechanic asked: Wait until you get to the racial hate crimes and ludditism in Thomas the Tank Engine.
tony-the-mechanic asked: I basically read Brother Bear as containing an allegory for a US/Canada comparison.
On the one hand, you have America represented in the two loud-mouthed, egotistical, idiot mountain goats, shouting obnoxiously at their own echoes whenever they take a break from trying in vain to get laid.
On the other, you have the moose brothers representing Canada, and they're...

Here's a non-panicked account of what the hell...
So Niela and I were heading to Bluesfest to see Death Cab for Cutie. We got off the bus and could hear Cheap Trick playing I Want You To Want Me. We already knew that there was a severe thunderstorm warning out, and when we got to the site, the storm was hanging over Bluesfest like a goddamn flying saucer. Also, most terrifying of all, thousands of birds were flying away.
We were definitely...
niela and I are okay but we just witnessed the...
we dont know if anyone was killed but it seems pretty likely
we were able to run before the mob got us but idk what the fuck is happening over there because we left the site as soon as it was safe
i have never seen so many firetrucks in my life
oh my god
i am so shaken
but we are safe

Oh yeah, I'm going to see Death Cab For Cutie...
I am desperately excited, am almost definitely going to cry, and am eternally grateful that Niela will be there so that I can share the Incredible Moments that will absolutely happen with someone who will also be a blubbering mess.
And if they play Transatlanticism, Niela and I will probably cry so hard that we will implode. Probably.
tony-the-mechanic asked: Well fog-breathing is actually pretty common (we're a hot-blooded people, so our breath is a cleansing flame;) I was just including it for ambience. I also spent the train ride reading a charming novel about displacement and assimilation and god, I was so friggin indie that I think I actually grew mutton-chops.
Also, I became accustomed to the cold pretty quickly! BUT THEN I...

ACTUAL, LEGITIMATE CAUSE TO SAY "I AM RATHER COLD".
I TOOK THE TRAIN AN HOUR OUT OF TOWN TO VISIT MY FRIEND SO WE COULD GO SEE HARRY POTTER.
I WAS WAITING FOR HER AT THE STATION AND IT WAS -1.
I HAD MY PURPLE CHECK-SCARF, MY MILITARY JACKET, AND MY IPOD SET TO ITS SAD PLAYLIST,...

QUEBEC REPRESENT
kingstonsblageur replied to your post: To those questioning my definition of what weather constitutes as ‘hot’:
Ok so I plan on going to school in Canada like Quebec and I wanna know how cold it gets in Trois Rivieres? Can you please tell me.
It gets pretty damn cold.
I live in Quebec about four hours outside of Trois-Rivières. In the winter it tends to hang out at about -10C to...
