Yes, it loaded. I'm using Coracle/Firefox/Linux.

Nothing like training 17 weeks for a marathon, and then dropping out six days before the event because I got COVID.

Is that from House?

I watched The Other Woman (2009). This is the Natalie Portman film, not the Cameron Diaz rom-com with the same title, nor any of the 20 other Other Woman movies on IMDb.

At the beginning of the story, Natalie Portman’s baby has recently died. As bad as that is in itself, the baby was also going to cement her relationship with her husband, which started as an affair. Now her only hope is to ingratiate herself with her husband’s son, but he’s weird and insensitive, and her husband’s ex-wife is trying to sabotage her. I liked the movie enough to read the novel it was adapted from, which has a much better title: Love and Other Impossible pursuits.

I'm getting a "hot nun" vibe from this, although it's completely deniable.

Is he the brother of serial rapist Danny Masterson?

I knew early that I didn’t want children, because I had other plans for my life. I’ve had occasional pangs of regret, but mostly I’m at peace with it. It became easier when my brother and his wife had a daughter, and then a second. I imagined I could contribute some wisdom to them, once they were speaking coherent sentences. Then last year my brother, whom I had always been close to, abruptly stopped speaking to me and cut me out of his life. Now those pangs of regret are a little deeper. Ugh.

I would say it’s interesting after that, just sad and exasperating. Not that China’s emperors were good or wise.
