And the fascists have the outfits, but I don't care for the outfits

So I have caught the first cold of the changing season and it immediately messed one of my ears right up, but I have a hot compress and a lot of orange juice and selkie just pointed me toward Cassandra Khaw saying wonderful things about my collection and that's done a lot to improve my afternoon. I am honored to be compared to Robert MacFarlane. Khaw's neo-Lovecraftian neo-noir Hammers on Bone (2016) is no slouch itself.

rydra_wong has been describing the latest political developments as a ghost garden of Watergate. I like this image and hope it produces the correct effect on the landscape.

I still haven't forgiven TCM for pulling Hotel Berlin (1945) out of the buffer when I was nine minutes into it, but I have just realized that I have once again in my life a couch I can lie on and watch movies, so my hot compress and I are going to do that.

I'm sorry about the cold. *offers herbal tea* Great to see CCassandra Khaw bigging Sleepless Shores. If it's also a help, I managed to get a review up on Amazon UK:

"Viciously adoring" is wonderful.

I'm sorry about the cold and the ear problem. I hope you find something good to watch. (Is Performance on FilmStruck?)

For about four hours this afternoon when I really needed it, I was afflicted by no more than my pretensions and my triple chin; I will praise the universe as is due from behind this hoard of used Kleenex.

*hacghk, shnurk* This is what friends do at our stage of life. Share things.

Ghod I hate it when sinus + ear stuff combines, it's tortures.

More cheerfully, did you see this Roman Swiss Army knife? https://twitter.com/artinsociety/status/1040479394802761729
