Day 000: Sunday 16 September, 2012
The First Step (Maine)

“So what’s our first movie going to be?”

“Has to be Forrest Gump. Has to be.”

“I think I can live with that. Alright, Anderson. One down, forty-nine to go.”

Blaine stood outside the R.V., the thumb of his left hand tracing around the patterns on his pocket watch casing, the fingers of his right absently swinging the keys back and forth. It was just after sunset and the sky was somewhere between periwinkle and cobalt. The stars hadn’t yet made their twinkling appearance, though Blaine doubted if they would even be visible through the thin layer of cirrostratus that had contained the late-September humidity since mid-morning.

At The Oasis - part three

Wed, 22 May 2013 01:45:00 -0700

alilactree:

In 1932 America is still in the grips of the Great Depression and Blaine Anderson is fed up with his bland life in Lima, Ohio. When he decides to head to New York City in search of adventure he meets a performer named Kurt Hummel at an illegal speakeasy, and gets more excitement than he ever dreamed possible at The Oasis.

part one: The Old-Fashioned / The Manhattan / ao3

The Bee’s Knees

Stretched out on his bed, hands resting folded on his stomach, Blaine tries to think. Mostly he broods and sighs and chastises himself, just a bit. Finally, he sits up and sets his jaw and starts a letter on some of Rachel’s fancy pink flowered stationary, scribbles a few doodles and pointless squiggles, then balls it up and throws it away.

Makes himself go into the living room and pick up the phone and even gets as far as the operator asking him for the number he’s trying to reach before he hangs up.

He’s trying to reasonable, and the reasonable thing to do would be to call his parents, apologize for taking off like a thief in the dead of night and ask for money to get home. He could help out at the grocer or the bus factory for the summer to pay them back, then go to college in the fall.

And Blaine is a reasonable person, he is. Class president Blaine Anderson. Honor Roll student. Polite and well mannered and voted “Kindest Smile” and “Most Conscientious” for the Senior Superlatives.

That, of course, is exactly why he doesn’t do it.

sanctumslider:

Summary: In an alternate universe where all humans are empaths, Kurt Hummel is the odd one out. Registering at a mere 0.5 on the Hawkins Scale of Empathic Sensitivity, Kurt has resigned himself to a lonely life, empty of touch or true love. That is, until the mysterious Blaine Anderson transfers to McKinley, and everything Kurt thought he knew was changed. But finding love is never easy, even in a world where everyone’s emotions are shared. This is the story of the boy who could not feel, and the boy who felt too much.

[Go to Chapter 1]

Additional chapter warning: discussion of past dub/non-con, but nothing worse than the content of the episode Never Been Kissed.

Cinema is important - basically every art form comes to cinema. It involves music. Painting. Everything. It’s the closest we can come to life. A painting can only give you so much, I think. And music is very beautiful, but when they all come together… you’re really embracing everything. I don’t think some people realize, actually, how important it is. - Saoirse Ronan

Kurt Hummel, Taste Wine Editor

In The End, A Glass Full

It’s a funny thing, wine.

We break bread with it. We toast weddings and anniversaries with it. We honor global treaties with it.

Wine is so much more than a simple drink. It’s a statement, an accent mark, a punctuation to a sentence.

It can complement a meal. It can serve as pretense. It melds science, culture, and even art.

The Sonoma Renaissance was a far cry from AmeriSuites. From the grapevine sculptures of its foyer to its well-stocked wine bar and private spa, the hotel dripped with laid-back elegance.

It also wasn’t home.

Kurt had checked in to a junior suite, rationalizing that six months of living…
