OMG I completely missed your birthday. I am a worm of the lowest order. *shame* Happy, happy belated birthday, Of B&B! I hope you had cake, libations, shenanigans, gifts, and kisses!

Lol, no worries! I indeed had cake (raspberry & chocolate cheesecake), libations (boba), shenanigans, gifts, and kisses! 😆 Thanks @rienerose!

@rienerose reblogged your post and added: “I never thought about liking Erik because of his deformity. That seems...”

Just ordered the graphic novel. Half-Price Books...

Yay! I think you’ll really like it. Def come back and let us know when you’ve watched the move as well; it’s violent, but Hugo Weaving has a very good voice/hand game going on! 

@filthybonnet I think my mind was more blown when I realized he was the voice of Megatron in the Transformers movie 😂

Since you had helpful ideas for the Anon, i thought I'd ask too. I saw Phantom in London during the summer of 2005. Any idea who might have been onstage? I do have the booklet but it's packed away. Thanks!

Hey there! In summer of 2005, the principal cast looked something like this:

Earl Carpenter (Phantom), Rachel Barrell (Christine), Oliver Thornton (Raoul), Richard Hazell (Firmin), Sam Hiller (Andre), Sally Harrison (Carlotta), Heather Jackson (Madame Giry), Rohan Tickell (Piangi), Claire Tilling (Meg).

The standby Phantom was Matthew Cammelle and the understudy appears to have been Rohan Tickell, who was also the principal Piangi. The alternate Christine was Celia Graham and the understudy was Jane Mark. The understudy Raoul was Tom Solomon.

Happy birthday, Tmebird! Hope you've had a great day!

Hey Riene! Thank you so much! Well, a lot of things I use to do for my birthday weren’t possible due to the current corona restrictions. But me and my boyfriend made the best out of it. So we had a cozy evening - only the two of us - with delicious food and a movie.

Happy, happy birthday! I hope there are cake and Beverages! May your year to follow be wonderful. :)

Thanks, there will be! Mr. Fish is picking up Korean takeout, and then I’m going to annihilate some cake.

autumnal asks--smelly candles, apple picking, thanksgiving

smelly candles — what’s your absolute favorite scent?

At the moment it’s oud and bergamot because I have a candle that combines both of them beautifully. In recent times it has also been anything with sandalwood. I am a woman of simple tastes.

apple picking — if you could go anywhere, where would it be and why?

Baile na hAbhann, Connemara. Aside from the fact that it’s a really lovely place overlooking the Atlantic it is extremely significant to me for the fact that Noël Browne spent his retirement there and it’s where he’s buried and I just have a mighty need to go there and drink chartreuse and idly gaze out at the sea. As @bogglebabbles can attest, I have a lot of feelings over Baile na hAbhann

thanksgiving — what is something/someone you’re the most thankful for? any particular reason

I’m thankful for a lot of things — for my cows and my books and my health. A lot of my favourite people in history were suffering from TB by the time they were my age, and it’s a little sobering to think that. Lately I am also extremely thankful that I took the decision to go back to education, and that I finally decided to read Against the Tide when I did, and also for a select group of people who mean the world to me.
