Drowning In Ship

I love his horror novels for many many reasons but one of the strongest, as someone who has lived in London for many years, is that when I read his books, I immediately think ‘yes, yes that’s how London feels!’

Makes the horror feel exceptionally real, when I recognise the sights and sounds and smells, when I have memories of these places, when I recognise these people, when I was walking past that specific spot yesterday…

They rarely come with pockets. I know there’s a whole thing about women’s clothing doesn’t come with pockets anyway, but I have to buy a bag to go running with just to fit my keys. And possibly my phone. A whole extra item for my runs.

They are cut very tight and very short. To the point they actually restrict my workout. Workout clothes I can’t actually workout in.

They are see through! I know it’s a cooling fabric but it’s amazing how many workout clothes for women are made of material so thin I can actually see my hand through them.

I’ve actually started buying men’s workout clothes, as they have pockets, room to move and are not actually see through.

And then thinking about how physically distant Ethan was with Benji through most of DR - even the shoulder touches were done with Ethan facing away from Benji

And how they seem to have got closer, how Benji knows his hug will be welcomed, is what Ethan needs and how Ethan without thinking takes his comfort from Benji - I’m guessing that very soon after DR and before Benji left for London, the two of them had another conversation about how Benji will not leave him, but also Ethan admitting, perhaps for the first time to Benji, perhaps for the first time to himself, just how much he needs Benji, how Benji makes it all better. How he survives and keeps going for Benji.

And poor Carter, not wanting to let Benton know that he slipped. And then being so ashamed he can’t look him in the face when he admits it.

(Also that Carter knows Benton well enough to know he’ll be using a mathematical formula to choose med students)

These two know each other so well and Benton has such faith and hope in Carter, even relies on him in the ER.

All amazing. All emotional. Just fantastic.

Looks like Tom Cruise is going onto the ice again...

(and on my god, Sandra Huller!!!!)
