The flowers that bloom in the spring, tra-la, have nothing to do with the case

I had been meaning to post something sentimental and delighted about the single yellow crocus that recently pushed up through the dead grasses in the front yard.

I just shoveled an inch and a half of freezing slush off the front walk.

Ah, springtime in New England.

PJ Harvey, "This Is Love"

The music video for that song made me like it a lot more.

Did you ever get your hands on The Wicker Man DVD, by the way? I listened to the commentary the other day and it's interesting--it features Christopher Lee, Edward Woodward, and Robin Hardy. There's also a moderator who really seemed to annoy Hardy while Lee and Woodward sound a little baffled in different ways. At one point, Lee brings out a script and starts performing some of his dialogue that was cut out.

I'll have to check that out. It is not one of the few songs from Stories from the City, Stories from the Sea that I really like (and therefore often find stuck in my head), but I am still on a PJ Harvey bender and, as I was writing, it happened to be on.

Yes; I've only seen the version from the two-DVD set. But I utterly failed to listen to the commentary.

Whoa.

Have you listened to the A Canterbury Tale commentary? I know it took me a long time before I found a place in my life for commentary--since the sort of work you do always involves words, I imagine you'd have a harder time finding such a place. Maybe if you arranged enormous speakers outside while you shovelled snow . . . It would be a novel thing to annoy the neighbours with, anyway.
