And every time we get burned, if we don't die, we grow wise

[sovay]

For those who have not yet seen the news, Readercon is going virtual this year. I miss book-browsing in person so badly. It is the right choice.

I am still sick and not enjoying it at all, but last night I dreamed about hanging out with Ralph Richardson. He liked my poetry. I'm glad my subconscious is getting the memo.

I am delighted by the fact of Ernest Thesiger vs. slumlords.

Thesiger vs. slulmlords is wonderful, isn't it?

It made me feel better about the world.

He's great as Mr. Maydig in The Man Who Worked Miracles

I've never seen that!

Speaking of which, Ralph Richardson has good taste and I think you should bring him out whenever TW comes calling. Shoulder-Ralph.

moon_custafer once drew me a cartoon to that effect! "The National Theatre!"

*I've never seen it!*

Oh, it's great! The usual Wellsian Little Man who gets a taste of power and gets drunk... but at least the world doesn't share the hangover for too long. Thesiger plays one of his would-be advisors. And Richardson's great as an aged blowhard Colonel. The effects are pretty good for the time, too.

I love that cartoon!!
