The problem with the Cats movie is that so many of the actors aren't feline enough. Like, James Corden could NEVER

SOMEbody once asked me
To go see Pagliacci
To cure whatever's getting me down
Then I burst into tears despite laughter and the cheers
I am the famous traveling clown

If it isn't obvious at this point, I'm starting to get a wine bottle type philosophy when it comes to choosing beer: How good is the label? But with wine there's an assumption that spending money on graphic design is an investment in backing up the quality of drink; craft beer labels are more about catching the eye on a more level playing field taste wise. Anyway: Dandy of the Underworld! Squid in a top hat and monocle! Umami, coffee-ish stout!

🎶Because I could not stop for Death –
He kindly stopped for me –
The Carriage held but just Ourselves –
And Immortality.

Come with me, the time is right
There's no better team
Arm in arm we'll win the fight
It's always been our dream

Since then – 'tis Centuries – and yet
Feels shorter than the Day
I first surmised the Horses' Heads
Were toward Eternity –

Gotta catch 'em all! Dickinson!

Lizzo's "Boys" as Hieronymus Bosch art: a thread

Two Pokémon, both alike in dignity,
In fair Kanto, where we lay our scene,
From ancient grudge break to new mutiny, Where civil cosplay makes civil hands unclean.

*very Bob Dylan voice*
There is a house in old Pompeii
They call the Tragic Poet
It's been the ruin of many a poor thief
Beware the dog, you know it

LB: The second best thing about this (after the fact that someone made a decision to have a permanent, extremely detailed "Beware of Dog" mosaic outside their home) is that the building is known as The House Of The Tragic Poet and is filled with other art.

Roses are red
Violets are fine

Of Saint Valentine

Why does this brooch have terrifying power bottom energy??

It shouldn't be warm and dry enough here at the end of January to be wearing a light twill jacket. I will not complain about the sun, though.

If these two can't make it in this mixed up world, who can?

Last Christmas you gave me your heart
But I hated your eye, so you had to die
This year, to save me from tears
I'll hide it beneath the floorboards

The Boy With The Arabica Strap

Twinkle twinkle, legs of stone
In the desert all alone
Words carved on that plinth right there
"Look on my works and ye despair."
Twinkle twinkle, King of Kings
Naught remains but lifeless things.
