Turn to dirt and I will change into stone
After the unnecessarily exciting events of last night, ![[personal profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/user.png)
spatch is sleeping and I am just about to walk out in this peculiar post-summer heat-smog (it was bitter cold two nights ago, we dragged all the quilts out onto the bed, I miss autumn) to pick up some DVDs from the library. I have been watching a raft of film noir lately; it really seems to be one of my comfort genres. Prompted by the general state of everything.
1. A friend who is not on Dreamwidth thought I should know about Wilshire Boulevard Temple's Warner Murals by Hugo Ballin and they were right.
2. The official video for Marissa Nadler's "Blue Vapor" is a Lynchian little porcelain ghost-scape and I love it.
3.selkie sent me two good links: the digital archiving of more than three hundred years of undelivered mail and the NYT obituary of Freddie Oversteegen. "Always stay human."

Which seems fair enough! <3
The weather keeps going up and down here; I had the heating on two days ago, now it's weirdly warm. (Luckily, it has got to the point where the warm bit is being fairly feeble, but, honestly...)

It makes me feel better, so I plan to keep it up!

Today it broke 80 °F, then we had a very brief thunderstorm, then it cooled down; I have no idea what tomorrow is going to be like. I mean I could look at a forecast, but I'm not sure it would be relevant. I want autumn back.

Also, holy shit, those letters. That's kind of amazing, the random details that'll show up.

Thank you. We are, too.

I want to read basically any of them.

Wow, those murals are only about five miles from my apartment! I should really go take a look.
"Always stay human."
That is quite an obituary.

There is fortunately a considerable supply.

Please report back if you do! I had no idea they even existed. I'm not sure I'd even known the Hollywood moguls all went to the same shul.
That is quite an obituary.
I had seen Tumblr obituaries at the beginning of the month when she died, but the New York Times even minus Margalit Fox knocked it out of the park.

It sounds like more compassion than most of the people who could repair or change or right this country are capable of.
