You have to think like an American. You’ll feel so homesick that you’ll want to die, and there’s nothing you can do about it apart from endure it. But you will, and it won’t kill you. And one day the sun will come out – you might not even notice straight away, it’ll be that faint. And then you’ll catch yourself thinking about something or someone who has no connection with the past. Someone who’s only yours. And you’ll realize… that this is where your life is.
the fam is big on horror. i’m pretty much not, but i’ve seen 6 of the 16 movies here, almost entirely due to their influence, and confess I’m glad I did. several of the other ten are ones they’ve tried to get me to see. I should just give in and watch them. right?
That’d be cool. I wonder if we could find enough interest to get a few folks together. I’m just sitting here (like a lot of people) with a bunch of Zoom knowledge and not much to do with it.
I’d love to hear you explain why I should rewatch the couple of Emma adaptations I only watched once. And I’d enjoy discussing favorite elements of the new one. Or maybe a more open-ended “Top 5 personal-favorite Austen adaptations” talk? I’d really love to hear a few of the old-school LBD crowd weigh in on that.
Or we could go still-yet-more-general. “Favorite things I’m watching during the lockdown”?
Other ideas?
If people drop me an ask describing where their interests lie and available dates/times for a Zoom meeting I’ll totally set it up.
This is legitimately the funniest fucking thing I have seen come out of this situation.
Fun fact: I hope to resume our local birdwatching group’s regular meetings (that have all had to be cancelled, and that I’m really missing) via Zoom+YouTube livestream, so I’ve been on a steep Zoom learning curve lately.
If you ever wanted to listen to me talk about birds for an hour and a half, you could totally ask to be included in the announcement with the link when it goes out. Just saying.
