the redoubt of the ocean in residence.

What's a book written by a woman that changed your life or that you consider a classic? Any genre, any language.

It's so weird to me, as a person who grew up loving "period dramas," to realize that I haven't been really excited about a period drama in years. 😕 I used to be so excited about them, and now it's like.. a trailer comes out... I watch the trailer. I go, "Oh." And then I move on with my life with a vague sinking feeling of disappointment again. And it is what it is. The world certainly doesn't revolve around me and my preferences. But it's a weird feeling. Kind of like mourning the loss of a friend who you used to be close to, but has now changed beyond recognition, and you miss them.

weird me out? no. you've weirded me in. let's merge souls

You know your historical topic really has its hooks in you when you're excited to find a box of receipts and expense reports.
