Stills from Good Omens Lockdown. Thank you Neil, and everyone who worked on this.

coffee and notebooks and fancy pens

In 45 BCE, Emperor Julius Augustus Caesar inserted two extra months at the beginning of the Roman calendar to fix its drift from the sun. In 44 BCE, the 5th and 6th months (now the 7th and 8th) were renamed in his honor as July and August, but the rest of the calendar was left as it was. Nero once tried to rename September ‘Germanicus’ but it didn’t catch on, and I for one am glad.

laughs nervously… hello i am alive?

went for a walk, pet a dog and completed an assignment that stressed me out for the past week. life is okay sometimes

I think it can be refreshing and nice but I much prefer the feeling of coming in from the cold! I've been raking leaves in the garden this morning to get over what happened in Washington DC last night and now I'm moving onto my next essay. X Emily
