Gather your strength in the strange somehow

Rabbit, rabbit! To inagurate the new month, I may have slept as much as ten or eleven hours. It feels extremely unfair that I should still be tired. On the other hand, I dreamed of a rediscovered short film by Powell and Pressburger, previously known to exist only in work-print fragments, although the way its characters eddied out of time in the sensible, in-camera fashion of the Archers, it seemed just as likely that the film had not been there in its canister five minutes before someone looking for a reel of something completely different in the BFI vaults reached for it. Yesterday was brilliant cold October; today is November overcast as rain. We had no further trick-or-treaters, but the door still turned in the year.

What a gorgeous, fortunate dream. The film does that only for the audience it wants to have.

I hope your day has been suitably liminal. (The ghost of Sylvia Plath counts.)

So many have employed her as a guide to katabasis. I hope she gets to do something else with her afterlife.

If the yogurt goes missing from your refrigerator, consider it an offering.

WHAT HAS HAPPENED TO THE TRICK OR TREATERS.

I don't know! We live in a student neighborhood! I expected them to be out in force! Do adolescents not trick-or-treat anymore?

I am glad you got sleep!

Thank you! I am even about to attempt a repeat performance.

That is so unfair! But yay for sleep and that neat dream, at least.

Thank you! So much of the last month was dominated by nightmares, maybe I can treat it like an omen.
