But if I could have a hundred homes and dwell in each a while

[sovay]

After little deliberation but many shenanigans, NecronomiCon Providence is rescheduling from this summer to the next. There are plans in the works for some virtual events this August, but mostly there are plans not to make Pestilence the lifetime guest of honor. I'm for it.

I can tell I am still in recovery from the shot because I slept another stunned eleven hours and managed to work exactly two hours before my brain went flat as seltzer, but my arm hardly hurts at all. I had complicated dreams about a theater owned for just about a century by the same Russian mob family and I can't tell you how much I resent not remembering the majority of the plot while retaining a hitman's nickname based on a stupid pun.

I have no idea what Allan Arkush's Rock 'n' Roll High School (1979) is doing on the Criterion Channel, but I am committed to watching it before it disappears. spatch has been quoting "Do you parents know you're Ramones?" at me for years.

I laughed at Pestilence and GOH status.

I started Brother from Another Planet! Enjoying it so far--it's very beautiful to *look* at, in addition to everything else.

The Masque of the Red Death can stay a classic on the page, thank you very much.

Yay! It really is—it's such a wonderful sense-of-place movie, and then there's the way it looks at people's faces.

I saw Rock'n'Roll High School in the theater when it came out (and then at least a couple of times the following year when it was a midnight movie). Enjoy it!

Thank you! I think the chances are good I will. (At the moment I'm watching some noir.)

I'm so glad your arm feels better. I keep poking mine, but it won't hurt. Raphael thinks I am pretty funny. David would too if he were not in quarantine after travel. He can think that starting Friday.

It's all right if it doesn't! There seems to be a wide range of reactions. I hope David's quarantine is uneventful.

It does now, but not very much. I probably am pretty funny. If we could have combined and then evenly split our reactions, you'd have felt much better and I would feel something was happening.

Thank you -- Friday is Day 15 and so far so good, including a negative test from Day 6.

I am sure that Doctor Raphael will paw it at (in)appropriate moments to make sure it is responding correctly.

Keep it up!

Go ahead. Break Pestilence's heart. They've been dreaming of a comeback since the age of the silents. Not going to happen. Not on our watch.

So glad that your reaction to the shot is waning.

They can suck it up and deal. The rest of us have been!

Thank you. The process has been fascinating. I seem to have more concentration in that I was able to work for a couple of hours this afternoon and just successfully made some notes on a movie I am in no shape to write up just now, but also it is ten-fifteen at night and I am dead fatigued. I have friend-of-family heard of this stage lasting a week, but I hope in my case it doesn't.

Be fair on yourself, you also wrote several sentences on underwear for those dressed as women.

You sent me a tweet combining Regency fashion with Marilyn Monroe in Some Like It Hot! What am I, dead?
