That is indeed a verbatim quote. According to the other presenter, reading Frankenstein is a "worthy" activity.Huh? I didn't know anything about a radio show. Is that sentence an actual quote? Please say it isn't.

This is comedy gold! Now waiting for GOSSIP GUY to do a parody of it. Although it sounds like it is already a parody...
At least she seems to have gone back - we set our bar pretty low for her at this point!
Prosaic is in fact not the right word Clare, unless you meant that the sentences were very basic
Yeah, I really can't top the fool she's already making out of herself!
I skimmed a single episode (from January 14th) and literally the first sentence out of her mouth on the show mentions Ruby. The second mentions Waterstones. You really can't make this stuff up, it's beyond self-parody.
Not to mention Alice finding such solace in books and fairytales. Or sometimes neglecting to eat. Or the theme of tragedies befalling those who (try to) leave home. Oof. It’s a beautiful story, and I can absolutely see Ruby reading (or rather watching) it in all the wrong ways :/You see what I mean? Lots of haphazard use of fire and lots of reference to Victorian flower language and some minor passing nods to Alice in Wonderland... the potential for Rubee exploitation is immenseI'm desperately hoping Alycia Debnam-Carey's fanbase will put her off making the Amazon Prime series her autumn personality trait. I can't see them welcoming her with open arms, and I can't particularly see them being the kind of people Rubee the innocent child would want to associate herself with either.
But we’ll see. The IMDB blurb mentions a violent childhood as well as growing up, two decidedly non-aesthetic things. Maybe that’ll be enough to deter her from watching.
Judging by the planner on view in her 37,594,678th Insta story of her staring at her window, she also planned to force herself to go into town yesterday to do "admin" (read: pointless busywork) - an event so notable that she's put it in her planner twice to double-reward herself for doing nothing. (The admin section on her planner spread, which was created for such things, is blank.)
Monday:
- Unpack
- Town admin
- Creative writing work
- Carroll letters final
- Edit book video
- Edit OTEC(?) vlog (Finally, Ruby will share her vast knowledge of Ocean Thermal Energy Conversion!)
- Yoga O Ballet O
- 20 mins productivity
- Study in town this afternoon
- Admin after lunch
- See habits

And we may have more Insta posts to look forward to of whatever café table she chose to occupy (likely at Waterstones) for most of a day while buying nothing and not wearing a mask.
Perhaps we'll get even more moaning about how she can't focus when studying in public, even though she already knows that but still chooses the loudest, busiest public places to study instead of the uni library, purely because she wants to feel special letting the common folk bask in the glory of her pretending to study.
I hadn’t even thought of the food thing
I don’t want to ruin the plot for anyone who might be reading it because it’s such a beautiful book, but adult Alice’s life is alarmingly how I imagine Rubes faring were she to suddenly cast aside her Victorian child ambitions and try to interact in the real world as an adult.I think it could go one of two ways with Rubee taking it on as her new 24/7 cosplay. I don’t know if she’d necessarily be put off by mentions of childhood abuse- she might well think it’s going to be like an Australian modern Little Princess.
Hilariously though, these are the two top images that come up for me when I Google the Amazon prime series. The first is from filming and pretty much summarises why I can see Rubee making it this year’s go-to dress up material- I can even see Mother Granger as the grandmother. The second is a still of the actress who is playing Alice from the show she’s best known for. So it might depend which Google pulls up first for Rubes I guess. (Although if in a major plot twist our Rubix Cube did write those child murderer books after all, she might go for it either way.)

I think it says OTCC not OTEC, maybe it has something to do with Oxford? Because I doubt she's at the Ontario Turtle Conservation Centre.
Oxford Tutorial College Certificate? Maybe she is learning how to speak English properly (at last)?
I was watching this last night. At 1.47 into the video, Alan Partridge tells the wine expert: "No Rosie, you're wrong!" and then comes up with something utterly bizarre. I can just see Rooby doing this routinely to her tutors.

There’s a bike shop called OTEC not far from her home. Maybe she’s been sponsored?
I too am slightly confused by ‘productivity’ being a thing in and of itself (and it only taking 20 minutes …)

From 20 hour study with me's to 20 minutes of being productive. We love character growth!! /s
Maybe she plans to make a video on the pomodoro technique? Pomodoro means slots of 20 min of work/5 min of rest.
Just curious- did she share that in a vlog or something? I'd be scared of revealing there was even a chain supermarket near my house online-
No, it comes up on a search. By close I mean in the same county, not ‘near‘ her house.
Everyone knows where her house is. It's publicly available info on the Companies House website.
And yet Ruby keeps hiding her former school's name on LinkedIn as if it's a reasonable privacy precaution when a) she's been at uni for 4 years and b) her home address is literally available online
