I did it all backwards.
I listened to "Now and Then" a couple of days after it was released because I saw the channel "The Beatles" posted it- hey isn't this that old famous band? I vaguely remember back when those "guess the logo" games were all the rage, an illustration of the abbey road album cover was shown for The Beatles on a "guess the artist" version.
I was so blown away by the song, it was beautiful. I listened to it for days. I read about john's death because a lot of the comments talked about him. I'd definitely read about his death in the past because reading the wikipedia article gave me deja vu, but it must have been just another drop in the ocean of content I consumed.
2 months passed, I listened to the song sometimes, discovering new scenes in the music video because I never actually sat down to watch it, I'd just play it in the background. I remember reading a comment about how John said that Ringo wasn't even the best drummer in the Beatles- what a dick! anyway who's Ringo? [john never said that btw, one of many false Beatles stories]
In February, somewhere between the 22nd and 26th- I had the brilliant idea of going to their yt channel and looking at their other songs. I came across the music video for "Only Sleeping", god what a great song! And after finding out about Em's painstaking work- what an incredible piece of art! I'd listen to the song for days, this time with my eyes glued to the music video in mesmerization.
Then it's all a blur. I first listened to all their popular songs on the channel, then the less popular ones [relatively obviously], then each album, each song, each interview, suddenly my pinterest was flooded with their pictures, I fell in love with each of them: John, Paul, George and Ringo. I was fascinated with John and Paul's dynamic. I was fascinated with the group. I suddenly sympathized with all the One Direction and BTS fans. I'd never felt this way for an artist before.
The funny thing is, the Beatles being so big meant that their music probably reached your ears before you even knew them. I remember recognizing "Blackbird" from "Boss Baby" and "Beautiful Boy" [john solo] from "Mr. Peabody and Sherman". I remember singing "and I will sing a lullaby" in the same tune as "Golden Slumbers" when I was younger.
I remember hearing "Yesterday" for the first time, my lips parted in recognition, some part of my brain recognized this as a famous song. It was like if someone played you an extremely famous classical piece, you wouldn't know know it but you'd recognize that it was famous. I was absolutely floored by Paul's work.
Then I'd re-read about john's death, this time it felt so different. I'd almost forgotten about it all really. I'd watch the get back documentary, I'd read more about events from 1970 to 1980, I'd get into their solo work, I'd fall in love with even more music, I'd read about their families. I'd learn to adore them but not put them on a pedestal because they were imperfect human beings [perfect musicians however].
Now john and george's death hit twice as hard. John's death angered me tremendously. I'd look at paul and ringo's recent interviews and pictures, finding it crazy how all this media I'd consumed at lightning speed all happened decades before I was even born. I'd learnt of 4 people, grew infatuated with them, learnt of their flaws, the fights, the breakup, the love, the friendship, the music and mourned their death- all in weeks. And I still have so much to listen, watch and read-it's brilliant really.
I remember listening to "Now and Then" much later, I'd avoided the song like the plague. I remember my eyes welling up, taking in john's voice, the lyrics, the four of them on my screen jumping ages. Just a couple of weeks changed the entire meaning and love I had for a song I just happened to stumble upon.

“I’m wearing a shirt and no pants. I’m Winnie the Pooh-ing it.”
“What do you mean? Why would they leave me something? I’m the shameful family secret.”
“No. I hit him. The lip is from when someone else pulled me off of him.”
“It’s like I died. I died, except I have to feel it. And on top of that, I have to feel everything else I’ve ever felt all over again. I have to get the bad news again every day, I have to deal with the choices I made, and I can’t fix it. I can’t even run from it. It’s miserable.”
“No, you didn’t. But you made me realize it. You made me remember. And maybe that’s worse.”
“Just because you can’t run doesn’t mean you can make me do it for you.”
“Uh-huh, and this wouldn’t have anything to do with the way you reflexively ice out anyone who even appears to have rejected or wronged you?”
“Oh, so they… they thought I just left without saying goodbye?”
“It’s not a heist. It’s… an elaborate, planned crime.”
“Okay…hmm… oh, I’ve made friends with a subway rat.”
“Judge all you want, but I’m the only one who will be spared in the inevitable Great Rat Uprising.”
“No, it’s cute! You’re such a nerd. It’s endearing!”
“What can I say? I’m the one that got away.”
“I have to say, I’m impressed. This is definitely the most organized crime I’ve ever been involved in.”
“Sometimes the point is to be sad, (Name). Sometimes you just have to feel it because it deserves to be felt.”
“For what it’s worth, you’ve never disappointed me once since I’ve met you.”
“Is there anything else you want, before tomorrow?”
“I just did it because I thought you were hot.”
“I was really lonely before I met you.”
“I like when you’re in crime boss mode.”
“They have to kill him. It’s the only way.”
“I can think later. Right now I just want to be here, okay?”
“I’m here. I’m not leaving.”
“You’re the most important person I’ve ever met. And I never should have met you at all.”

How would you write a friendly outing between two characters?
All right then...
The first thing that popped into my head was something with a Mary Stewart vibe, where the heroine and her aunt on holiday, perhaps in Greece. They've had enough of the official tour bit, however, and want to get out on their own, Someone recommended a certain spot, so they rent a car, pack a picnic lunch, and set out. After a couple of wrong turns, adventures in themselves, they find the spot, and agree that it is idyllic indeed. As her aunt dozes in the warmth of the day, the younger woman sets out to explore a bit, and is delighted to stumble upon some ruins. No one else seems to be around, and she's just started to have a look around when there's a scraping sound, like footsteps. She looks around -- nothing. But no, there's the sound again, and a shower of gravel down the hillside, and the next thing she knows, a young man, panting and disheveled and altogether rather worse for wear, appears, almost colliding with her. "Please, help me," he gasps, clutching at her, just before he faints dead away at her feet.
Of course this is less about the aunt and niece enjoying an excursion, and far more of a nod to The Moonspinners, but it's a start.
Then I adjusted course a bit and went to Clark and Bruce, contemplating an outing to a summer carnival. The players would have to expand beyond just the two of them, with some of the Batkids along -- Dick, Damian, and Jason, I think; Alfred as well -- and it would be a long day of cotton candy and deep fried Twinkies, funnel cake and caramel apples, riding the carousel and Ferris wheel, Tilt-a-Whirl and roller coaster, and Damian getting a lifetime ban from the bumper cars. Jason and Dick would compete in all the games to see who can win the most stuffed animals for Damian (Jason edges out a win, but it's close). Damian throws up once; Dick throws up twice, because cotton candy, popcorn, funnel cake, fried dough, deep fried Twinkies and all the rest aren't exactly how he remembers from his circus days.
The actual reason Clark and Bruce are there, with the kids providing cover, is because Matches Malone picked up intel that Intergang is using the carnival to get up to some nefarious shenanigans. So while the kids are enjoying the rides and stuffing their faces, Clark and Bruce are nabbing Bruno Mannheim and others.
When that's done, Clark insists Bruce has to have a little bit of fun. He hasn't even eaten a deep fried Twinkie or had a corndog. "And I never will," Bruce assures him, but Clark is persistent and eventually persuades him to at least go up on the Ferris wheel with him.
It's gotten on toward twilight by then, and when they reach the top they can see everything all lit up and bright and shiny against the darkness, and Clark says, "It was a pretty good day," and Bruce grunts and allows, "Punching Morgan Edge in the chops wasn't so bad." Clark laughs, and when he slips his hand into Bruce's, Bruce doesn't object, and even privately admits it's not the worst time he's ever had.
And then I thought about Ramses and Nefret, from the Amelia Peabody mysteries, because I'm reading Seeing a Large Cat and getting Ramses/Nefret feels again, and did in fact whip something up -- but it is well on its way to becoming an actual fic, so we shall skip over that, and instead contemplate Highlander: the series, and how they never did a Vegas episode...
Duncan and Methos are on a road trip, because I've always wanted to do a road trip fic and they would be great for that (I think), headed east from Seacouver, and deciding to stop off in Las Vegas for a couple of days. Duncan flashes back to the last time he was there, back in the Rat Pack days, and how he had a run-in with a mobster Immortal. Amanda may have been involved.
And maybe because of Amanda, when Duncan and the mobster Immortal came to blows back in the day it was a draw, but it was an uneasy truce, with the understanding that if they ever crossed paths again it would be a different outcome.
So here they are, sixty+ years down the road, and maybe the mobster runs a casino now or something. Anyway it all comes down to a game of cards: Duncan wins, they both walk away; other guy wins, they draw swords and fight until one of them loses his head.
Long story short (hah!), Duncan wins, and it's not until they're back on the road, Vegas left far behind in the desert dust, that the Highlander discovers Methos engaged in some chicanery -- "Trick I picked up from Houdini." -- because he wasn't taking any chances on Duncan losing. Something like that.
I could do more -- outings to a haunted house, for instance, or picnics that end with someone discovering a dead body -- but I think this enough for now.
Thanks for the inspiration!

May/2024🌘♋️I MUST STAY AT MY CURRENT LOCATION.
I was told that ALL I need to do today is check OUT and check back IN.
I told management I have a lymphatic condition due to THREE attacks on my life with a biochemical substance in FOUR YEARS.
My own family tried to murder me for money.
I am in a petty court case about stealing cigarettes while I was sick in SUMMER OF 2021, after Peace Health tried to murder me.
The other charge is STEALING MY OWN car back, which my parents dropped the charges.
My court appointed lawyers have WORKED AGAINST ME, and stolen my identity to STEAL MY OWN MONEY FROM ME.
I stay in my hotel or car most of the time. As I mentioned I have a unique infection that dries out from cigarette smoke, which also kills parasites.
I smoke pot to manage the ENORMOUS PAIN I endure trying to twist my spinal cord back into correct position.
Thank you Seth, my chiropractor, for making that work easier.
I have medical evidence of my condition and the EXTREME TORTURE I HAVE ENDURED FOR YEARS.
The police, lawyers, doctors and political leaders ALL around me have conspired AGAINST MY OWN HUMAN RIGHTS, in order to turn me into a virtual lobotomized whore bot for their fucking WESTWORLD sci-fi fantasy for BILLIONAIRES.
Do not fuck with me at this point or YOUR WORLD may completely fucking collapse due to these continuous crimes AGAINST MY HUMANITY.
I don’t know why you are confused over MY PHILOSOPHY.
I LOOKED FOR THE TRUTH IN MY LIFE AND APPLIED MY EXPERIENCES TO THE BOOKS I HAVE READ OR KNOWLEDGE & WISDOM, I HAVE GAINED.
YOU LOOKED FOR TRUTH IN BOOKS AND MADE A FUCKING CLOWN SHIT CIRCUS THE FUCK OUT OF YOUR LIFE.
I LOOK LIKE A CLOWN BECAUSE I HAD TO JOIN A FUCKING CIRCUS TO FIGURE YOU ANIMALS OUT.
WHAT I AM SAYING IS WHAT HAPPENS IN THE ASTRAL AND THE PHYSICAL ARE TWO VERY DIFFERENT THINGS.
TO MERGE TWO REALMS OF EXISTENCE WOULD BE LIKE RESTARTING THE FUCKING UNIVERSE.
DO YOU UNDERSTAND NOW?
THIS IS LIKE TRYING TO TURN WHITE/BLACK AND BLACK/WHITE.
IT IS A PARADOX.
PANDORAS BOX YOU MIGHT SAY, BUT I WOULDNT.
UNDERSTAND.
🤡💩🦍🔥Killing people is NOT how you stop the madness of EXTREMISM.
You build your HOUSE upon REALITY.
You do NOT build your HOUSE upon a TORTURED WOMAN because YOU are a narcissistic psychotic misogynist with SMALL DICK issues.

Dick Draz, ‘godfather of San Diego water polo,’ dies at 92
Dick Draz “single-handedly started water polo in San Diego County,” said former CIF San Diego Section commissioner Dennis Ackerman.
Hall of Famer was ‘a man ahead of his time in his dedication to aquatics’; he was named a San Diego County Coaching Legend in 1999
One of the true legends of San Diego high school sports, Dick Draz, a national Hall of Famer in both water polo (2003) and swimming (1999), died Tuesday. He was 92.
“Dick Draz single-handedly started water polo in San Diego County,” said former CIF San Diego Section commissioner Dennis Ackerman. “He was Mr. Water Polo. He was a longtime tournament director for water polo and swimming and he started the Dick Draz Classic, a fundraiser which always featured some of the best teams. He was so much fun to be around, he was so dedicated.
“Everybody loved him. He made it go.”
One of his many outstanding players at Crawford was Brian Wilbur, a lifelong friend who would go on to work with Draz in presenting the section water polo championships for boys and girls.
Wilbur called Draz “a man ahead of his time in his dedication to aquatics.”
It wasn’t by design. A native of Chagrin Falls, Ohio, Draz arrived at Crawford hoping to coach football.
“The principal told him he was going to coach water polo and swimming, which he knew nothing about,” Wilbur said. “But he went to every clinic, he asked the best coaches, and he learned by burying himself in aquatics.”
As a swim coach at Crawford, he compiled a 253-38-1 record from 1962-86. He was named the National Swimming Coach of the Year in 1986. He captured five section swimming and two water polo titles, although his Colts did make the championship five other times. His water polo record was 334-106-1.
Draz coached dozens of high school All-Americans in both sports. Among them was Mike Stamm, a backstroker who won gold at the 1972 Olympics.
Draz moved on to Mesa College in 1990, which allowed him to be the section tournament director for high school water polo. Draz knew a lot about marketing his sport, Wilbur said; the coach’s hospitality room during the water polo championships became legendary among the media, college and high school coaches and city officials who visited La Jolla High School.
“He cared about every one of his players — all of us — and when they came home from college, he’d stay connected,” Wilbur said. “He was so committed to the sport. He went to the San Diego Unified School District board meetings numerous times to keep aquatics alive. He was very persuasive.
“When he worked on the section championships, he’d do everything from tickets to entries. He was so detail-oriented.”
After retiring, Dick Draz volunteered by working as a tournament director for water polo tournaments.
After retiring, Dick Draz volunteered by working as a tournament director for water polo tournaments.
More than that, Wilbur said, “Dick Draz was my second dad. He had such an incredible work ethic, impacting thousands of people.”
Bishop’s water polo coach Doug Peabody is another Crawford High School grad who was greatly influenced by Draz.
“He is the godfather of San Diego water polo,” said Peabody. “I’m going to miss him, I’ll miss him a ton. The whole community will miss him. He gave me his books which detailed his workouts and all 17 of his CIF plaques. He founded the Ironman Relays which are still going and he was inducted into both the water polo and swimming Hall of Fames.”
Draz was involved in everything aquatics, including being a longtime member of the San Diego County Coaching Legends, where he was inducted into the inaugural class in 1999.
He is survived by his wife of 68 years, Helen; sons John and Dan; and his daughter Katherine. Memorial services are being planned. *Reposted article from the UT by Steve Brand on September 14, 2023

Crocodile on the Sandbank
Crocodile on the Sandbank (Amelia Peabody Book 1) by Elizabeth Peters, copyright 1975
Someone gave this to me the Christmas right after I'd lost my partner. I did attempt to read it, but like vampires were HER thing that I enjoyed alongside her, Egyptology was MY thing that she enjoyed alongside me.
So I do not think I gave it a fair shake, and am realizing I hardly remember anything of it beyond 'archaeologists' and 'mystery'.
ETA: Halfway through the chapter, and I think this is going to be a spite-read by the end of it. You are warned.

Dedicated to the author's son, Peter
The author, whom I have learned was interested in actual archaeology, makes a note about referencing real life archaeologists. She also notes she absconded with some of Petrie's models and discoveries to her protagonists.
Also, she has modernized the spelling of Egyptian words and names, and I must say she went with the more sensible ones than Ms. Gedge had, in a novel that was published not long before this one.
Chapter One
First person POV. This is always a risk with me. Sometimes it embeds so hard that I can't write it any other way (see the Sacketts and Barsoom), or I just struggle to read it.
(Both other books written in my birth year I had considered and could get access to were also first person POV. One was an Amber novel, the other a Nero Wolfe. The third, which I had no access to, I cannot recall from my one reading as a child if it was.)
Oh joy. The natives are all out to get you in Italy, lady? Villainous and rude?
Well, I suppose its par for the course with tourists and locals. I know I was rude AF to the snowbirds that invaded Florida every year.
Okay I snickered at Papa preferring his languages dead. But we have established that the protag is a person of means, with a late father, and educated. Also youngest of six, with some gap between her and the five brothers. So quite indulged, no doubt, especially as the brothers did not take to their father's studies.
"The only one of his children who had not an income of its own" is such a way to phrase that. And her the sole heir of a surprise fortune.
She calls herself a plain spinster, at 32 years of age. And proceeds to sound off about marriage and fashion alike. She's opinionated, at least?
It is the 1880s. She hired a companion… and the "weak-minded female she was" up and caught typhoid. (I may be having some issues with the brand of feminism on display, BTW.)
We have a fainted woman with no compassion in the hearts of those around her, and Miss Amelia taking charge.
Okay, Amelia, waxing poetic on the beauty of a woman, just because you find yourself plain is… an interesting choice.
Also, the 'rotund' couple both being so nasty… leaves me questioning narrative choices.
Oh look! That issue of the 'ladies' being ALL ALONE, but in truth, they have servants.
And Amelia is going to be a force of nature, ordering the girl into a life at her side as a companion, at least for the journey to Egypt.
And then we switch to the girl's story. Her name is Evelyn Barton-Forbes.
She is the granddaughter of an Earl.
And of course the earl is a racist dick, and the only heir is of mixed descent (Latin, aka Italian).
And then Evelyn falls for an Italian as well. Which was a fortune hunter, as the heir's father had been thought to be. And now she is destitute and disowned.
Back to Amelia.
WHO CAN ONLY ASK IF THE SEX/BEING IN LOVE IS GOOD?! WTF
"I never had a sister" - Honey, if I were writing this, you would NOT be feeling sisterly.
And Evelyn begins making Amelia over as they assemble a wardrobe.
