Betty Draper On Drugs

Elder Zillennial gradually losing his grip on reality. I love musicals and classic literature.

I'm going insane (over a man of course) think I might need to reread Middlemarch or I'll do some really dumb shit.

Give me your wisdom George Eliot, and help me through this fuckass awful time in my life.

So I decided to watch the 25th anniversary production of Phantom again.

The Final Lair has always been my favorite part, but this time I had a thought. Isn't it pretty funny to think the Phantom is such a fucking drama queen that he starts singing the music from his own opera at Christine and Raoul?

Holmes and Watson are boyfriends.

I'm so obsessed with The Babylove Miracle Show from The Grass Harp. I mean you've got Karen Morrow giving the best belting ever like she could do it in her sleep, and the best ever Broadway soprano Barbara Cook!

Thomas Hardy. What. The. Fuck. Was that????

Jude the Obscure Part VI, Chapter II, iykyk.

Currently reading Jude the Obscure and this popped into my head.

In a shocking twist, I'm reading a book that was actually written in this century. I'm 3 chapters into The Master by Colm Toíbín. I figured it'd be interesting to read a novel about my favorite novelist (dearest Henry James).

It's really good and has the feel of a 19th century novel while also being able to dive into James's sexuality without disguising it under layers of subtext and ambiguity.

When you realize ChatGPT mostly stole its writing style from free articles online, so now every time you read a free article you're stuck in this horrible uncanny valley of wondering if a thieving robot actually wrote it.

Well, the ending of The Ambassadors was super depressing.

Happy Birthday Chita Rivera! (January 23, 1933) 

“I am young in my energy because I really still believe that we can share who we are, and we can wipe off on each other. I see this huge tapestry when we’re born, and this red blob that’s your soul or your heart.”– Chita Rivera

Sometimes you become hyper focused on finding a certain gay porn video.

I'm starting to think people on the Internet want us all to be perpetually miserable.

So I started reading The Ambassadors by Henry James. I read pretty broadly so I can confidently say it has the most difficult prose I have ever encountered. It's also ridiculously beautiful and gets easier once you get into it. I'm just in love with Henry James I guess.

Shout out to all my Gormenghast peeps. Steerpike is evil and awful but I'd totally bottom for him.

[iremembersky]

Well what the fuck am I supposed to watch after the last episode of Six Feet Under?
