I...kind of like the old Wimseys with Ian Carmichael? He's not my vision of Lord Peter but the supporting casts are excellent. All these striking women in cloches speaking clipped RP; presumably calling on memories of their aunts or grandmothers.

It's down to my hips now, even in a braid, & she's stopped asking if I want her to cut it. Looks like this ends with her continuing to lose muscle mass & mobility & me going full Crystal Gayle.

Imagine what we could create in a world where rage donations went to historical societies, libraries, and institutes instead of long-shot Senate bids.

Flu & 'vid shots ACQUIRED. Also while I was in CVS I thought "I'll get some Almond Joys because they are my favorite" & a smallish bag of the little ones with one almond was $8.29. Is there a sin tax on almonds because of all the water they use?

It just hit me that two of the most original & imaginative artists I know on here are both maximalists in their interior decor. Everything in blocky shaped solid neutrals *is* for people with no imagination!

It's odd the way "dear old Father, what a madman he was" sort of follows me around through various literary genres. Fiction, memoir, history, and in this case conservative polemic.
I witnessed a striking example of this revulsion in my own household. My father, a communist and therefore predisposed to view the past in a lurid light, especially by comparison with the inevitable postrevolutionary glories to come, had bought several Victorian paintings at Sotheby's during the war for ten shillings each. (Communists are not necessarily opposed to taking advantage of a temporary depression in prices.) He kept them in the loft of the house. Then, one day in 1960, quite arbitrarily, he decided that they were taking up too much space- unlike the tins of fruit he had stockpiled during the Korean War in the expectation that it would escalate into the Third World War, and which were now beginning to explode, but which he kept forever. He tool all the paintings except one and put them on a bonfire, an act that I knew even at the age of ten to be one of terrible barbarism. I begged him not to do it- to give the paintings away if he didn't like them- but no, they had to be destroyed.

I am trying to get my Mom to watch "The Spanish Prisoner" with me; the first time you watch it you are gobsmacked by the twists & turns & then subsequent times you watch it you go "Ah!" where you see the characters (or the writers!) setting things up. Again, a film for people who like having brains

On the one hand if I had the One Ring I would be corrupted, consumed, and lost, on the other I would fix the MBTA before I became beautiful and terrible as the dawn. Phillip Eng has done all that mortal man can do but I think it would take an immortal witch queen to fix some underlying issues.

My Mom & I were talking about how if Francesca had been a good dutiful wife we'd never know her name but because Dante wrote about her as a woman who tried to be good but was overcome by longing for a man whose soul she still clings to in Hell all well-read people know Francesca da Rimini.

Casual, non-industry folk now refer to long-running film series as franchises, and no one bats an eye. Artists are now colloquially called "creatives" everywhere. The term "content" is used to described just about any medium. These aren't art terms. These are business terms used by execs.
