Three links, three different moods

[dolorosa_12]

It's 22 degrees, sunny, and still. I've just come in from the garden, where I spent about half an hour lying on a picnic blanket, listening to the bees hum and the wood pigeons coo, looking up at the sweeping blue sky. It's been a gorgeous day.

Here are some links:

To start things off, this Guardian article: French monks locked down with 2.8 tonnes of cheese pray for buyers. The title basically says it all.

This poem, by Sonya Taafe, is a lot. It weighs on me.

Wellington Paranormal, the spinoff of the What We Do in the Shadows film created by Taika Waititi and Jemaine Clement, is finally going to start airing here in the UK (on Now TV). Here's the trailer.

That is a weighty and astonishing poem - thank you for sharing it!

[dolorosa_12]

Isn't it incredible?

Oh, I've been watching that! ^_^

It's fun! I don't like it anywhere near as much as What We Do in the Shadows, but I like it enough that I bought both seasons of Wellington Paranormal from Apple TV...

I've been seeing Australia- and NZ-based friends watching it, and impatiently waiting for it to air in the UK! I'm very much looking forward to it.

In case you don't already know, Sonya is also sovay. Also that is a great poem, thank you for linking to it.

[dolorosa_12]

I'm glad you like the poem!

n case you don't already know, Sonya is also sovay.

I didn't know that, so thank you for letting me know. I feel weird about just randomly adding people on Dreamwidth, although I do see that we share a fair few friends in common.

For what it's worth, you're always free to interact with whoever in my comments <3

[dolorosa_12]

Oh, I always feel free to do that, I just feel weird about randomly adding people on Dreamwidth when we've never interacted, unless it's through a friending meme. But thank you for the clarification!

On the first link, my first thought was "Oh, to be a monk in a monastery trying to sell 2.8 tonne of cheese wheels". Then I clicked the link and my feelings morphed into Fucking Citeaux?!?!?! Pretty fast, haha.

[dolorosa_12]

Hahaha!

For context, in my teens I may or may not have lived in a boarding school situated in a former Cistercian monastery.

I really need to watch more advertising as I had not heard of Wellington Paranormal... shame!

[dolorosa_12]

I assume you've watched What We Do in the Shadows?

I find it hard to stay up to date with current TV, but luckily my husband is extremely on the ball in these matters (via various blogs and TV podcasts).
