No fixed abode

[sovay]

Allowing for the phone call from the doctor's at the crack of eight o'clock and the resultant difficulty in falling back asleep thanks to the neighbors' adventures in yardwork, I think I slept almost eleven hours. I dreamed of living in a small room tucked into the honeycomb of a library, which was much more like semi-homeless house-sharing than being a library spirit, alas, and seeing a spectacular cabaret show called Drag of Our Fathers, which I had to double-check with the internet wasn't a real thing, either by title or concept. I can't be the only target audience for historical drag.

selkie pointed me toward this tweet reminding of the awesomeness of Dorothy Arzner. Lucky New Beverly Cinema patrons, getting an eleven-film Arzner retrospective! I'd watch that. And just about everything else on their calendar this month, really.

I have no idea what I am going to do with today. I have that scraped-out kind of feeling you get when your body is not running on pure cortisol for a change. I am thinking maybe I will take a walk. Or just sit around in the afternoon. It's sunny out there.

I vote just sitting around. It's lovely out right now.

I opened all the windows as soon as I got up! This sounds like a plan.

That sounds like a top quality dream!

I would have taken everyone I know in waking life to that show!

I feel like I want a short film of that dream.

I'm glad you got some sleep!

I really wish I were able to attend that Arzner retrospective. The New Beverly was closed for a long while, so I'm glad it's up and running again.

That's so good, the eleven hours' sleep. (Not so good about the yardwork. :( ) I hope sitting around in the sunshine won!

I would send one to you if I could!

Thank you!

Is it not near you? All I remember about your location is my ability to recognize your train station from film noir.

Well, it rained suddenly and dramatically in the evening, and naturally while spatch and I were out walking, but before then it was very nice!

It is pretty close (about half an hour by car if there's no traffic), but going to the movies with vertigo can be a dicey proposition. Maybe after I get back from Wiscon, I can try to attend the final Arzner screening at the end of the month, health permitting.

I didn't realize the vertigo affected moviegoing. Bah.

I hope that works! And I hope Wiscon is good.

Drag of Our Fathers is a show that really should exist.

Drag of Our Fathers is a great name--your subconscious is as inventive as your conscious.

Hope you did get in a walk--the air has lovely springtime smells.

I was actively surprised it didn't!

I never feel I can take credit for it, but thank you!

Thank you! Yesterday contained more rain than I consider ideal for a walk, but today it's just been sunlight and things blossoming.
