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).

Hurrah for the new stove! An oven that can cook things is generally a good thing.
