I think I'm keeping a spider as a pet. She was on my wall right above my head last night and I couldn't be having that when I was going to sleep so I moved her in a candle to the bathroom, which is the designated spider zone on account of me never going in there in the dark and getting jumpscared by them.

Only she just...chilled in the bath. And when I needed to have a shower, there she still was. So I put her back in the candle until after I'd had a shower and returned her to where I'd found her.

She's fine in the bath. She can get out. She's just choosing not to.

I've adopted a spider.

#spider #i should give her a name #i don't know what a good name for a spider would be

Climbed a scaffold today. It was just there, unsupervised, on the side of an empty building. Nobody around. No signs. So technically there's nothing to say you shouldn't climb the ladder up to the top. Could see the whole valley spread out. Oak trees electric green.

#i was so high up #it was beautiful #it did creak ominously #but we'll ignore that

I have to say that “warm gentle glow emanating from the shell of a turtle” is without a doubt my favorite genre of lamp

It's such a shame that more people aren't into opera because they're missing out on how incredibly funny The Barber Of Seville is as a plot.

Like, imagine you're a hairdresser and town gossip, having a lovely time, and then your old boss shows up in disguise, tells you he's in love with some girl you're friends with, and wants you to help him sneak into her house. What an insane thing to have happen to you on a perfectly ordinary day.

And then when you finally do, breaking several laws, he and your friend are too busy gazing into each other's eyes to leave through the exit you provided. Just imagine having gone through all of this and standing there yelling, "It's time to go! We've got to go! You can kiss later!" and they're just making googly eyes at each other and singing about how happy they are to be here when they really really really shouldn't still be here.

It's beautiful. It's elegant. It's such a silly story concept to have become such a popular opera.

#the barber of seville #you have no idea how badly i want someone to attempt to adapt Barber into a modern teen movie or something #i love the romcom operas

It's such a relief to be back on tumblr at last because I've spent several years talking almost exclusively to people over the age of fifty and I cannot do this much longer.

It's not the attitude. It's not the views. It's the way they communicate. On here, people will monologue absolute gibberish but there's enough points in there for you to grab onto. Out here in the real world, some old lady will break the silence by suddenly saying "Jane is one of those women" without any inflection or emphasis at all.

Marianne, what in the goddamn hell does that mean?

So glad to be back where people talk in spirals

#it turns out it meant she never gave her children birthday parties #i was unaware that was an entire class of women

“It wasnt the real mona lisa bc the real mona lisa was painted on wood and thats clearly canvass” versus “It was the real Mona Lisa, just suspend your disbelief for a second” — fam. Both options are good. Both options are great.

Either it was the real mona lisa, in which case, Miles Bron is a murdering idea-stealing phony who will be forever known as the guy who destroyed THEE mona lisa, and there is absolutely no coming back from that —-

OR, it was a fake, bc the museum was like “lmfao this joker thinks we’d loan him the ACTUAL mona lisa? Ahahahahaha” in which case, there’s all the initial press coverage of the explosion and the shitty fuel and the murders and then the revelation that THEE MONA LISA was destroyed on Miles Bron’s watch, and all of that plays out across the media, and THEN!!! the Lourve gets to step forward saying “dont worrry guys. We never gave him the real painting. We didn’t trust him with it. We gave him a fake and he never noticed,” which the media would have a FIELD DAY with, because it’s like the resurrection of Jesus only with a painting, instead of a person, and also, the whole thing is funny as FUCK, bc they gave him a fake and he didnt notice, and also-also, clearly the Lourve was ahead of the curve when it came to recognising Miles’ stupidity, and it’ll stay in the media for WEEKS, that Miles was conned by the lourve and clearly they were right to trick him because LOOK WHAT HAPPENED to the fake Mona lisa, PLUS of course all the rest of the stuff like the 2 murders and the hydrogen fuel and the idea theft and etc.

Like?? There’s no losing here. Both options are great. If it was real, then he’ll never live it down, and if it was fake, he’ll never live it down. Either way: fantastic

Adults: Following rules is good, not following rules is bad

Little me: Okay :] *follows a rule*

Adults: Oh my god look at this loser. He doesn't know that this rule is Secretly Okay To Not Follow. Dumbass. Let's all laugh at him

Losing my mind listening to music thinking, "this whole album makes me want to jump off a cliff" and then all the youtube comments are "ethereal" or "i want to drink tea to this on a rainy day". ??? Are we listening to the same thing???

Turns out we're not and I've been listening on 1.5 speed the entire time. If you slow it down enough for the lyrics not to be a tongue twister and the rhythm not to feel like it's kicking you in the shins, ethereal is a valid description.

#some of the songs i just like better sped up though #hozier unreal unearth

The plot structures of movies need to start taking more cues from classic opera. Open with a fucker in a hat who directly addresses the audience and explains what's going on in a way that raises far more questions than it answers, then immediately drop the viewer into the middle of a shouting argument between three of the weirdest people you can possibly imagine.
