209: Wondrous Strange

[thefourthvine]

Those of you who were on the earthling filter way back when he was still leasing space in my body may remember that I suffer from a very severe case of Familial Lyrics Disorder, as did my father and my grandmother before me. (Some of our incorrect songs have been handed down through three generations!) It's not just that I mishear and misremember

You know, your Justin Timberlake/Julia Child scenario is amazingly, amazingly reminiscent of certain actually beloved characterizations of Justin Timberlake that I can remember from back when I was in the popslash fandom. (I think that means something - I'm not sure what. Maybe that JT/Julia Child is TRUE?)

IT IS. I KNEW IT I KNEW IT I KNEW IT. He really is saying Julia Child!

Could this be what a tinhat feels like? Because if so, I never thought it would be so wonderful!

Now, possibly you are thinking to yourself, "I don't want to read about Hittites."

If you want to read about Hittites, you really, really need to make the acquaintance of Frost. I mean, okay, I have found it to be true that people basically don't have boring academic loves, but Frost's dedication to the Hittites is unusually entertaining and contagious EVEN FOR AN ACADEMIC. After a few hours you find yourself wishing to go back to school and major in - Hittitiana? I'm not even sure what it would BE. Something in the big scary humanities building that I avoided for much of my college career. But my point is: her love is true. GO READ HER RIGHT NOW.

Julia Child is awesome and everyone should be in love with her. Like, seriously, Julia Child is basically my answer to "who is your hero?" (Also on that list, Julie Andrews, Helen Mirren, Ian McKellan, and Haviva Reik) If Justin Timberlake was in love with Julia Child, I would be forced to actually like him.

Julia Child IS awesome! But, sadly, I think you'll have to start liking Justin Timberlake, because he SO LOVES HER OMG HE DOES.

Thank you for the awesome story! Although I suppose I should be shaking my fist at you for giving me this incurable Winona Kirk jones.

I read that story when you first wrote it and it instantly made my all time top 10 list. Such a great story, such great characterizations. Like TFV, I love that it was about adults. ♥

Oh, I am entranced by your new fandom. ENTRANCED. (Come on, I did write curtains).

[thefourthvine]

Clearly you should also write this! C'mon! Justin and Julia 4EVER!

[sheldrake]

It is very tempting. Of course, I should have to thoroughly research them both.
