5 bottles of tomato sauce made, 16 home made chicken sausage rolls in the oven , vacuuming done, spot cleaning of carpet done, kitchen floor clean, one load dishes done, one load washing done and put away, cat litter room clean, chili plants watered, tail sewn back on Bill's toy mouse, Still have some sorting of clothes to do and hope to get in an hour of calligraphy after I clean the kitchen 😵
The major problem—one of the major problems, for there are several—one of the many major problems with governing people is that of whom you get to do it; or rather of who manages to get people to let them do it to them.
To summarize: it is a well-known fact that those people who must want to rule people are, ipso facto, those least suited to do it.
To summarize the summary: anyone who is capable of getting themselves made President should on no account be allowed to do the job.
And yes, I was channelling Zaphod, I love the Hitchhiker series, I have them all and read them multiple times hehehe
I love that we quote simpsons and hitchhikers here. I always enjoyed the bit about Zem, the mattresses. and that robot who shouted hells bells because he took out the floor from underneath him. Did they ever make a series with all the books? The og series was great as was the movie with the guy who played every role I ever wanted to but never became an actor. Of course now I can't play anyone but a trans woman cos that's exactly what I choose to look like.
Agreed, both are exceptionally better in print, though I posit that LoTR is more palatable to a wider audience in movie-form; the books read like an account of a history of a world (which, as we know, it definitely is and was intended to be a history and not a story) but the movie makes it easier to understand, strains out the songs or adds them in better ways than recounting them over pages and pages ahah
The Silmarillion should be many many films, one or multiple for each chapter. Just Luthien and Beren are a few films, and Turin Turumbar would be like watching a shakespeare tragedy lol!
