If he asks you am I running, tell him I'm flying

Rabbit, rabbit! Happy New Year! I baked an almond cake which failed so surreally I am now studying the remains to see what happened. According to the recipe, it was supposed to collapse in the middle, but it was also supposed to have some structural integrity afterward—I am not discounting the possibility that I just don't like this style of cake, but it literally broke up on re-entry. Looking for photographs of Peter Ustinov, I found him being a feral teenager and a slightly older teenage bohemian. He never lost the cat-look. I think tomorrow I will try the spider cake and see if it helps.

Sings "He'll always be Batiatus to me..." (as pretty much the only '60s movie about Rome that's not about Christianity, _Spartacus_ is one of those movies I'll always watch given the chance.)

Also legit!

(as pretty much the only '60s movie about Rome that's not about Christianity, _Spartacus_ is one of those movies I'll always watch given the chance.)

I respect that decision. I have not seen it many times, but one of them was in 2016 as part of the Somerville Theatre's 70 mm festival and that was fantastic.
