ALSO, I would LOVE Lee Child to write a Romantic Era thriller - Byron Said Too Much - in which Byron brawls across Europe righting wrongs and wooing men and women and writing poems

My run over recovery film watch continues with a rewatch of School of Rock - this time, I noticed how much of an asshole Dewey Finn is at the start of the film which had been obfuscated in earlier viewings by Jack Black’s huge charisma - still, a delight! A classic get the band together film 🖤

RIP 847 years ago Hildegarde von Bingen, abbess, mystic, theologian, musical composer, astronomer, pharmacist and doctor, and among many other things inventor/discoverer of the sacred language “Lingua ignota”, who died #onthisday in 1179 CE. (Pictured, her conception of the world as a "cosmic egg")
