The History Boys

Yes.

It's got lots of bits of poetry/music/films thrown in, none of which I understand, and I have to keep replaying scenes because I can't figure out their accents, but it is brilliant. Watching it for the second time now. (And I do mean after I finished it the first time, I pressed play again.)

It's got some really witty dialogue and the boys are so full of shit and they're having fun. They wear blazers and ties and coats! Scripps and Irwin have coats with high collars! Their accents! ('Fuck' comes out like 'fook', for some of them.) Scripps's accent is the most difficult to decipher, but I love his voice. And I keep going back to watch the bit where Posner re-enacts the scene from Brief Encounter. Also where they're sitting a circle during their shared lesson and arguing about history.

The characters are wonderful, especially the teachers. And I am falling asleep. So in summary:

IRWIN OH MY HEART.

This is a Gnarls Barkley appreciation post

The crowd. ♥ Festivals seem like such fun.

I watched this about ten times last night. And a few more this morning. The dancers are beautiful, love the way they move and the use of effects. Also, suspenders!!

You are only coming through in waves,

HOME NOW SO GLAD I NEVER WANT TO LEAVE AGAIN.

Today was such a crap day. Nothing much really, but it's the little things you know?

Just a bad people interaction day. And everything I say/do makes me cringe.

Then I went to Pam's house, and I love that we can not talk for months and still not be awkward.

Listening to KEXP podcasts, which is doing quite a bit to cheer me up. KEXP ♥

OH CLOUD CULT WHY ARE YOU SO AWESOME AND WHY DOES EVERYONE NOT SEEM TO PAY ATTENTION TO YOU.

I FEEL SO MUCH BETTER NOW.

P.S.- Am (re)reading the Dresden Files, and am again torn between annoyance for and liking it. Thoughts, anyone?
