It's Another Beautiful Day of Not Being On Mount Everest. just how Every day of my life will be Another Beautiful Day of Not Being On Mount Everest, on account of how I am Never Ever Going There.

#news from the cupola #readingposting #<- into thin air specifically. mr krakauer I am sorry that happened to you but idc that you got high and cried in kathmandu.#still not unamused about him quoting yeats. mr krakauer the things would not be falling apart had you not put the things on mt everest #nor would you have been affected by the widening of the gyre had you not voluntarily and purposefully gone to the gyre.#the list of places I never want to go (everest; underwater cave; most caves really) is really not affecting my quality of life.#it's so easy to not have a bad time on mt everest if you simply don't go there.

reflections on pride and prejudice my most successful audiobook listen:

if i do anything else while listening it does Not work.

so i mostly listened, ~20 minutes at a time, before and after naps, or when i was resting eyes closed open to sleep but not trying for it

unexpected: having the audiobook associated with naps made me more excited to rest

relistening to chapters was necessary when they were first listened to as i was too close to sleep. but this was fine. and i tried not to worry too much about comprehension anyway

but thank you also chapter summaries on the internet

have to listen at 1x or slower. tbf i even listen to podcasts at 0.85 (the perfect speed where everything sounds basically normal - unless someone has a particularly musical laugh - but you have the lovely cocoon of extra time. which makes me feel safe :-) )

enjoyed occasionally having the audiobook on and reading the text with my eyes at the same time. normally i read very fast but not always feasible with tiredness migraine etc. and it's hard fsr to slow down my pace (opposite experience to audio) but i liked having the words wash over me and picking up with my eyes bits i might've missed otherwise

for future audiobooks, something else that's a bit light and funny could be the way to go. or something i'm already familiar with. but i mostly like art that makes me feel bad so hmmmm

It's fucked up, finishing a book series. What am I supposed to do now? Go about my life as if I'm not shaken to the core? Pretend that I'm unphased by never again being able to read this series for the first time? Other people are living their day-to-days, unaware of my anguish. Oh, how I wish I were them so I could read this series again.

#rook and rose #readingposting #go read the mask of mirrors

can ANYONE do something about him. can someone PLEASE stop him. can we do anything at all about the lancelot situation.

#readingposting #arthuriana #WHAT IS HIS PROBLEM. GUY WHO QUALIFIES AS SOME KIND OF NATURAL DISASTER IS ROAMING LOGRES. HELP.#okay. my ride (uncle) is here so I can actually go to work at my job. now I will stop furiously lancelotgrailposting.

'yeah we also have sir kay. nobody has asked about him but we also have him. just in case you cared. no? just guinevere? okay then.'

#readingposting #arthuriana #It Has Been A Hundred Thirty Pages Since We Last Heard From Sir Kay.#the procrastination (reading those 130 pages instead of getting up to look for the bobbin winder) is severe. oh whale.

'that sign can't stop me because I can't read,' said lancelot, and lo, it was true, and it had been previously established in the narrative that he really genuinely couldn't.

#readingposting #arthuriana #a few especial hits that I found while I was getting the screenshots to answer that ask. sick of this guy.

if your book promises there are dragons in it I want DRAGONS. LARGE SCALED AND FEATHERED BEASTS with PAWS and CLAWS and FANGS and WINGS. not some regular human man.

#readingposting #dare I tag the book this is about. it's the same one as 'everybody accidentally anglican in fantasy venice'#okay yes. it is fiorenzo by sebastian nothwell. a book that makes me unbelievably angry.

guy who has read 0 arthurian texts: lancelot he's cool I guess

guy who has read 5 arthurian texts: aughhhhhh aughhhhhh awoooooo lancelot oh my god

guy who has read 10 arthurian texts: lancelot is so fucking annoying it cannot be borne

guy who has read 30 arthurian texts: lancelot is a complex and fascinating character who is immensely changeable depending on the era and author, and through examining lancelot we can actually determine a lot about the context of this particular work and how the author is interacting with this literary tradition as a whole

guy who has read 100 arthurian texts: lancelot is so fucking annoying it cannot be borne

guy who has read 500 arthurian texts: AUGHHHHHHH AUGHHHHHH AWOOOOOO LANCELOT OH MY GOD.....

#readingposting #arthuriana #this post brought to you by: someone sent me an ask and I opened up a 400 page pdf of the vulgate before coffee or breakfast #and now my eye won't stop twitching and I will probably be late for work.#also to be perfect clear. I am in the midsts of guys 4 and 5 alternately these days. he is so fascinating. he infuriates me.#can someone please stop him. ow my eyelid.
