OutsmartYourShelf

Pickpick

In 1848, Captain John Franklin & his crew went missing whilst searching for the Northwest Passage - a route between the Atlantic & the Pacific oceans deep within the Canadian Arctic. If you've ever read 'The Terror' by Dan Simmons, the book was based on that journey. In 2008 comedian & sometime actor, Billy Connolly, completed a 10-week voyage to the area for a TV series & this book is the resulting accompaniment. (continued)

OutsmartYourShelf I rather enjoyed this. I've never seen the TV documentary series but if it was as entertaining as the book it must have been good viewing. Alongside his trademark humour, Connolly shows a great deal of understanding & respect for the Inuit culture, although I struggled with the parts about hunting seals etc, so I read those pages rather quickly. Otherwise it was an engaging & informative trip through the NP. 4🌟 (edited) 5d

Can we do #TuesdayTunes on a Thursday night?? This just came up on a Spotify-curated playlist, and I could smell that school bus seat vinyl and that particular teenage muskiness. Man…took me straight back to high school. Hadn‘t heard the song in years!

So good!

BarbaraBB Of course we can! I didn‘t know this The Verve song but am listening to it while typing this. I love it when a song brings back such memories! 2w
BarbaraBB Still listening and what a good album! I only knew them from their biggest hit here, Bitter Sweet Symphony, which I didn‘t like much. 2w

Megabooks @BarbaraBB yes! This was an album I bought back then for their single, but I like the rest of the album much more now than BSS; although the orchestral background is still great. I associate that song with the final scene in Cruel Intentions, which was my college roommate‘s favorite movie so I saw it A LOT! Many good memories with her! 😁😁 2w
Megabooks @BarbaraBB I‘m definitely a nostalgia listener, but I‘m picking up some great new songs too lately. 2w
Megabooks @vivastory the lyrics definitely hit harder as an adult than they did as a teen. 2w
BarbaraBB I‘d love to know what you‘re picking up these days and hope you‘ll continue #ThursdayTunes 😜🥰 (edited) 2w
TieDyeDude This song is new to me, but I like it! Similar orchestral arrangement to BSS. Is that throughout the album? 2w
Bookwomble @TieDyeDude Yes, it is. I'd recommend Richard Ashcroft's solo albums to you, especially Alone With Everybody and Human Conditions. Song for the Lovers from the former has a great orchestral introduction 😊 https://open.spotify.com/track/7a90gal9tr3yS8bEXUvu8D?si=-O-28vPQSKOgNjSPsyRh4A&... (edited) 2w
Megabooks @Bookwomble thanks for chiming in! And recommending another artist I‘ll check out! I hope you try the album @TieDyeDude 👍🏻 2w
Bookwomble @Megabooks You're welcome. Richard Ashcroft is the lead singer and main songwriter for The Verve, so if you like them, you'll like him 😊 2w
Megabooks @Bookwomble I am SO BAD at knowing the names of band members! 😂😂 even bands I‘ve enjoyed for years I‘d have trouble naming them. 2w
Bookwomble @Megabooks You only know if you know! 😊 2w

Me and Worf's mum sharing a cup of tea in the same glass 🍵🖖😊 (though hers was lapsang souchong from a replicator and mine was cinnamon and plum from a pot 🫖).
Worf's having family problems with his son, Alexander, this episode, and the subplot with the soliton wave propulsion system seems like an ill-conceived technology!

Ruthiella Amazing! 😂 2mo
Aimeesue Worf tries, but as a dad, he really struggles! 😏 2mo
SpellboundReader What a fun photo! Sometimes I wish for a replicator, especially when I'm not in the mood to cook or crave a chocolate dessert. 🖖 (Sorry, I know that's Vulcan, not Klingon. 😁) 2mo

Bookwomble @Ruthiella My son bought me a couple of the tea cups as a Trek-related Christmas gift a couple of years ago. I see them in the show a fair bit, but this is, I think, the first time I've coincidentally synchronised with a character 😄 2mo
Bookwomble @Aimeesue Yeah, he really has a good go at it in this episode, which with multiple-viewing foreknowledge of how it turns out, makes it all the more poignant 😢 2mo
Bookwomble @BeeCurious Oven chips or instant noodles are the nearest thing we have to a replicator, I guess 😏 And I think the Vulcan salute is universally accepted as a Trek-fan identifier, so you're safe 😊. I'm pretty sure any Klingon hand gestures would be hideously offensive, anyway 😄 2mo
SpellboundReader 😂 😁 2mo
LeahBergen “Earl Grey, hot” for me, please. 😉 2mo
Bookwomble @LeahBergen That is canonically and traditionally correct, and mainly what I do drink from these glasses, but I've got more than one kind of TBR, in this case Tea Brews in Reserve, which I need to drink my way through 😄 2mo

Stayed up late listening to this propulsive, chilling take of a former child star who is unable to outrun the doomed cult horror movie she starred in as a child. Is the film really cursed, or is a murderer on the loose? Highly recommend. #audiobooks

Tonight, I watched this Christmas special that I recorded from PBS. I really enjoyed this. I watched it last year too. My favorite song from this concert was Angels, From The Realms Of Glory. That was a really pretty song. I‘m going to count this as a #tvshow for the #wintergames.
