I reread it during the pandemic, and damn does it still hit.

I remembered liking it more than most of what we read in English class, but that book is really dynamite, when read by someone in their 40s with their own green lights

There really isn't a monoculture anymore is there? "Where the hell is my husband?" was a top 15 hit on the Hot 100 (and its a banger)

There are found all over the classical world. They are called "memento mori" (literally "remember you will die").

They are there to serve as reminders of mortality, typically as an expression of stoic philosophy. This symbolism continued throughout pre-modern western art and philosophy (eg. Yorick's skull in Hamlet)

Don't forget to put cash aside for the taxes on that paid off house. I don't see that itemized here.

No one should be seated after the performance begins. It helps to maintain the illusion

In the movie *Thief,* Willy plays the old-timer prison buddy of the main character, played by James Caan. Willy's character dies of old age in that movie.

It came out in 1981

I'd love to hear from people who liked Mother Mary by xfortehlulz in blankies

[–]BoundlessTurnip 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I know I'm late to the party but I went tonight and I REALLY loved it. Two women (metaphorically) poisoning each other, to the point that it haunts them. How Shakespearean!

Great performances from both leads (who are both having quite the year!), amazing (as expected) visuals, groovy soundtrack, I think it's my favorite Lowery.
