I'm good at not eating, I'm good at not sleeping much

Everything is really very bad, but I got tired of not having a traveling robe since the demise of the artificial silk wrapper of blessed memory. As I wrote to selkie last night: look, it's not a banyan, but the attempt was made.



P.S. I saw that Jean-Louis Trintingant has died. I noticed him with Costa-Gavras' Z (1969) and I watched Bertolucci's The Conformist (1970) primarily because he was in it, but I was introduced to him with Jeunet and Caro's The City of Lost Children (1995) and some part of me may always think of him first as a cranky, migraine-prone, disembodied brain in a tank, with an Alka-Seltzer effervescing away at the bottom of it for the migraine. Who can't relate?

*flings you a couple of white-chocolate truffles full of lemon curd* I wish I could throw you a rope. Metaphorical or otherwise.

Oo elegant!

Of the three films, I have only seen Lost Children.

Oh, that's a very nice robe.

It is a good travelling robe (or next best thing)!

Okay, this made me think of you, and imagine your review of this nonexistent noir:

I don't know the actor, but if you can memorialize him as a cranky, migraine-prone, disembodied brain in a tank, he must have been someone pretty cool :-)

Here's to things stopping being very bad ASAP.
