Tell me that you want the kind of things that money just can't buy

We have a new stove! It is not the same as our old stove! I have the oven on while the submarine engine-oil smell burns off! I look forward to being able to bake properly for the first time in months, as even in summer a person sometimes wants to do.

Last night I saw A Hard Day's Night (1965) with [personal profile] rushthatspeaks at the Coolidge Corner Theatre. It is an utterly delightful movie; what stuck with me most (besides the music and the young faces and the time-capsule streets) was how much of the cut-up cinéma vérité cinematography now just looks like the language of music videos and how much of it is still weird and exuberant. Plus the fact that I don't think my early childhood imprinting on Ringo Starr is ever going to go away and I'm all right with that. "I'm a deserter, too."

I hope this article is right, including the part where we can actually vote out of office the officials we don't want: Miles Howard, "We Can End Boston's Transportation Nightmare."

Have some photos from the set of Kind Hearts and Coronets (1949).

I really hope that, too. I am tired of having life in Boston feel like some sort of 1980s communist dystopia (though I suppose it's more "80s Communist propaganda film about Capitalist dystopia").
I don't suppose anyone's put together a list of WHICH bums to throw out?

Great movie.
