That guy on the bike, IS the main character.

B&W and vintage scenes from "The Crown" that I liked, thank you

i always forget how addicting it feels to read a book and not want to put it down. it happens every time; i should know it by now, should know that i'm going to spend the rest of forever chasing that high, feeling it every time i read a new page or crack a new paperback spine or read a new dedication, but it’s always a pleasant surprise. i think we all know it, right? one more chapter before bed, one more chapter after that, so on and so forth. we all know that the inevitable will happen and we all know we'll will be sucked into the story for the foreseeable future, but we never plan for it. we never schedule it. it's a spontaneous familiarity, like knowing exactly what the crack of lightning looks like across the night sky but still watching through the window in a midnight storm. it's everything i could ever want and it's all that i have at the same time.

Random scenes from "The Falcon and the Winter Soldier (Kari Skogland, 2021)" that I liked, thank you

Mausoleum

Song by Rafferty

Come inside my mausoleum

Light a candle on the pathway to my casket room

Step on through rusty iron archways

Where a pigeon lays that died without his lover

So strange and beautiful

How you gaze upon my bones

A mistake, a tragedy

Since we missed each other by a century

They took my clothes and sent to a museum

All I am is dust and a handlebar mustachio

They took my guns, and horse and swords for history

But they kindly left a photograph of you and me

Your dress, so beautiful

On those cliffs that took your soul

Though I reached for you as you drifted out to sea

Since we missed each other by a century

Your fine lips, I would kiss you again

So don't be frightened by my skeleton

I'd kill to touch your soft, bony hands

But I can't because this is my lover's century

So strange, and beautiful

How you gaze upon my bones

Before you leave me out to sea

I'll visit your bones next century

Depressed queen
