"My father wanted a football-playing, beer-drinking son, and he got a gin-drinking poetry-reader. Funny isn't it?"

It is ... delightfully funny! ☆

In memoriam of British comedy legend KENNETH WILLIAMS

22 February 1926 - 15 April 1988

To mark the occasion, here's a favourite song from "The Buccaneer", a musical play by Sandy Wilson, staged in 1955 with a young and ambitious Kenneth Williams as the toffee nosed and precocious Montgomery Winterton ... what an excellent typecasting! ⭐️

Happy birthday, love ❤️🏳️‍🌈

... thank you for being there for me, as the unique personality and artist you were. 🙏

I miss you terribly!

"A friend once asked me what comedy was. That floored me. What is comedy? I don't know. Does anybody? Can you define it? All I know is that I learned how to get laughs, and that's all I know about it. You have to learn what people will laugh at, then proceed accordingly."

Remembering comedy legend ✨️

STAN LAUREL

(born Arthur Stanley Jefferson)

16 June 1890 - 23 February 1965

“Those two fellows we created, they were nice, very nice people. They never get anywhere because they are both so dumb, but they don't know they're dumb. One of the reasons why people like us, I guess, is because they feel superior to us.”

Oliver 'Babe' Hardy

Happy Heavenly Birthday to Roddy McDowell

On this day in 1928, British actor Roddy McDowell was born. Roddy McDowell would have turned 95 years old today.

With a long career in films and TV appearances, Roddy became known to many young fans through his work as a voice over actor. Roddy's gentle voice could carry kindness as well as a sense of menace to it. Sadly, he passed away on October 8, 1998, from lung cancer.

Here are my favorite Roddy Mcdowell roles....

The Mad Hatter, ''Batman the Animated Series''

The Bookworm, ''Batman the Series''

The Breadmaster, ''The Tick''

Peter Vincent, ''Fright Night'' and ''Fright Night Part 2''

Mr. Soil, ''A Bug's Life''

Snowball, ''Pinky and the Brain''

Happy birthday in Heaven, Talia. She would be 24 today.

Here is the tribute event to memorialize her in 2013. It’s been ten years. Time sure flies…

I’m going to let this go, but I will continue to paint my toenails mint every summer in memory of her.

May her memory be a blessing forever.

this past monday was a year since i lost my dad due to covid, yesterday was what would have been his 70th birthday. my bf tested positive for covid thursday and when he came home he was super hot to the touch, slightly delirious, and could barely move on his own. just like my dad! and now my throat is sore and i feel so cold but alex said i feel warm :-) this week is totally fine and not retraumatizing at all.

#j.txt #covid tw #death mention #father mention #i was also supposed to go camping with my family this weekend in memoriam of my dad's passing/birthday but couldn't go for obvious reasons #my partner is doing a lot better but he's still sick #AND my fucking GUINEA PIG has been coughing and i've never heard her cough before.... :-(

folded a crane for the first time in ages. It calmed me down a lot. I used to fold cranes a lot during high school, to the point where i was folding teensy little 1cm ones. I would take some scrap, turn it into a square, write some word or phrase repeatedly onto it until space ran out and fold it into a crane. I got to 200 at one point I believe. I don't remember why I stopped but I'm guessing it's due to the fact that I can't fold straight and the cranes always come out ugly. I think this time around the paper that I'll use are gonna come from the pages of old books that I can't make blackout poetry of.

#mine #ive forgotten this piece of myself... happy to see it again #someone gave me some origami for my birthday and its been on the edges of my mind since. im giving credit to that #in memoriam #< new tag

starter for @magic-by-nora​

location: outside the Devil’s Cradle

The memorial seemed to be in full swing by the time Ollie arrived at the Cradle. He couldn’t find it in himself to care much, still mulling over the conversation he had en route. He’d just turned the corner, sounds of conversation beckoning him onward, when he ran into someone. His hands came up just before the collision, palms and fingers flat to slim shoulders as a little warning bell went off in the back of his mind. There was a familiar feeling to the person even before his thoughts were collected enough to recognize her. His brow furrowed as he tried to figure out what she’s doing before he realized she moved into him - coming away from the event?

Outwardly she looked just fine, maybe her smile a bit wider than he’d seen before. The true sign that she’d been partaking in the locations libations is the ringing static of her magic buzzing in his ear. He patted her shoulder as he took a half-step back. “My apologies, Nora. You’re leaving early - not your scene of choice? Or am I walking into something that I should also leave quickly?” The building itself wasn’t intimidating per se, and the noises within didn’t seem unhappy, but appearances are deceiving in these circles and a warning is always good.

James David Donmoyer Born December 18, 2011 Died March 10, 2012

"Hi son. Happy Birthday. It took me 12 years but I finally drew a picture of you. To be honest, your dad was afraid to do it for a long time. I was afraid it wouldn't be good, that I wouldn't remember your face. It hurts to remember. But it was time. So I started drawing anyway and here you are. I don't think I did too bad. But I think I did it because I really needed to see you right now. I wanted to bring you back to me in a way only I know how.

That may be selfish, but I also needed to keep a promise. I did this for me, for you, and for your mom too. I hope more than anything this Christmas that she gets to see it somehow. We all miss you."

-Dad

In August, I hold onto the bittersweet ache of missing my dear sister, wrapping cherished memories around my heart for warmth. Her absence is deeply felt, but her spirit of love and strength continues onward. 💕

There was a girl.

When I was in high school, there was a girl in my class. Her name was Patrycja. Today she would be 28 years old. But she isn't because she died nine years ago, one week after our prom ball and, accidentally, one week after her 19th birthday.

It was a suicide - my whole class knew it as she had one attempt before but the teachers kept saying that it was an accident anyway. Only many years later one of them admitted the truth to me. I guess they were afraid of the Werther effect. Not that it really matters. She died, suicide or not.

Patrycja had the most beautiful and lavish blonde hair I had ever seen. I remember this school trip in the beginning of October, in our freshman year. It was sunny afternoon, we were in the park. She was walking along the lakeshore, and her hair were flowing behind her like a golden, shimmering banner. Her hair is always the very first thing I remember when I think of her.

She loved poetry and always had this somewhat decadent vibe around her. She cherished every form of "deep" and "high" art, up to the point where she was coming off as somewhat snooty. She wanted to take history, social studies and Polish language at our final exams. Seeing her name and choosen subjects crossed out of the student list was baffling and surreal.

On the night of the prom ball she was dancing barefoot, in pretty, lace black dress. She had problems with her spine but on that night she was dancing anyway. Alone and with her friends, and with this boy I liked at the time, and she was so full of life and smiling, and laughing. On that night she was probably the most alive among all of us. It probably should be the clue. But I didn't know at the time that when a person makes this final decision, they tend to suddenly become more happy. I think that even now I probably wouldn't notice anything. We never do.

One week later she was gone.

Her last FB post was: "A good day should start with Fripp" with link to "Heartbeat" by King Crimson. She wrote it hours, if not minutes, before her death. Maybe it meant something to her, I don't know. "A good day"... it always strikes me.

She wasn't my friend. To be honest, most of the time I despised her. She was bratty and annoying, and always expected special treatment, especially after her first attempt, which resulted with long hospitalization and reconvalescence. She had a difficult character and didn't have too much in common with me, both when it comes to interests and personality. Nonetheless, somehow I cannot forget her. It's funny - except it isn't.

I attended the funeral (my whole class did) but the next time when I visited her grave was few years later. It was practically abandoned. For some reason, it hit me more than her actual death. I mean, if you die at the ripe age of 19, you should be remembered. Your grave shouldn't be almost empty. Your friends should celebrate you. Whom the gods love dies young - or something like that.

Maybe that's why I still visit her from time to time. Maybe that's why I am writing this online even though probably nobody is going to read it.

In memory of Patrycja H. (1995-2014)
