2016, What the Actual Hell?

Really, you can just stop with the death shit any time now. I mean, really. >:-P

So anyway. Decided it would be a good day to make bread, so that's what we're doing. Mixed whole wheat with white, ten-grain, a quarter-cup of bulgur, sunflower seeds, blackstrap molasses for sweetness. :-)

I know!! Last week my cousin died of a heart attack and a family friend's daughter committed suicide. Now, THIS week.

OMG TAIGA. Wow. I am so sorry for your cousin and your family friend's daughter. :-(

♥ ♥ ♥

I didn't know either of them, I don't remember ever meeting the cousin and I only met the friend's daughter once, but I care about people who cared about them. All this death!

I heard about Sir Alan Rickman's passing on the radio. Such a loss! Oddly, while I've seen him in a variety of roles and admired his acting, I don't tend to think of his face. For me his name is most strongly associated with his voice. His delivery was always magnificent.

He had an amazing voice. Like velvet, but with steel beneath. ♥

Yeah, yesterday's news I double- and triple-checked because I thought, this close together, same age, same disease, that's got to be a hoax. Sadly, it wasn't. Also, while his Harry Potter role probably made him the most famous, I found that it was pretty low on the list of things that came to mind when I thought about what I'd seen him in. Which was quite a lot, I was almost surprised to realize. Did you read Emma Thompson's obituary? It was rather lovely I thought.

I know I saw at least part of Thompson's obituary -- I think it was quoted in The Guardian. And I believe the first thing I saw Alan Rickman in was Die Hard, but the first movie I remember him in was Truly Madly Deeply, which was just an amazing little film. :-(

Heh, I always have to remind myself that he was in Die Hard, even though I've seen that movie many times. Truly Madly Deeply was new to me but I found it on youtube and watched it yesterday, as well as all the pissy!Metatron scenes from Dogma, because he was the best thing about that movie and made me laugh a lot. The one thing I actually own is Snow Cake, really loved him in that, but hadn't watched it in a while.
