"The effulgent Antarctic skies..." 😍
Aug. 4th, 2025 03:19 pmEveryone: Moby-Dick is hard to read!
Me: *drools over the beautiful fancy writing and fun big words*
This is definitely one of my favorite passages in the book! Melville does go off on random tangents sometimes, but I still love the beautiful writing. I probably wouldn't have enjoyed it when I was younger, so I'm glad I'm finally reading it now! Someone saw I was halfway through and she said that's where it starts getting really good and action-packed, which I noticed..I can't wait to read more later!! (Yep, I'm a nerd :P)
And this is my new favorite song:
"Where Did You Sleep Last Night?" by Sleigh Bells, from the show The Penguin. Combined with what's happening in the scene, it's so epic! I love the "in the pines, in the pines" part. Definitely one of the best scenes in the show! (Except she burned down the four-poster bed though, noooo! It annoyed me though that it's not connected on top, it looks odd that way!) I'm more of a Marvel person, but The Penguin was REALLY good! The "just some last minute housekeeping" for the description in the video had me DYING haha
Mom and I went to the state fair yesterday and I bought a 3D printed cat dragon! I left it in mom's car though, so I'll have to get a picture of it next time I see her. It was a nice evening, though we went late and didn't get to see the animals..at least I got Dippin' Dots and mom got to see the quilt show haha..definitely our priorities :P
