I'd give every dime I made to see her silver hair shining
I had an incredibly frustrating evening at the phone store. On the other hand, I got a picture of the mall doing its best to look like the Precinct of Amun-Re à la David Macaulay:

selkie and I conversed until the talkie window ran out of battery. When I ordered my favorite seasonal sundae from the Scoop 'n' Scootery, they included a little paper bag of free cookies with a friendly handwritten note. And when spatch got home from work, he presented me with my birthday present courtesy of the recent half-price Criterion sale, the DVD of Powell and Pressburger's A Matter of Life and Death (1946). So on balance, I must have had a good day.
P.S. Rob has just informed me that our jackhammer-slammed summer had a theme.

Re: It went bang bang, I said shut up
Thank you! It's been a very exhausting couple of days, so I am trying to keep track of the unambiguously good stuff.
I was recently thinking about A Matter of Life and Death, because it was nominated for Yuletide (along with other excellent old movies!) and I realised it's been quite a while since I rewatched it.
Oh, nice! It came around on TCM this summer and
And your summer theme song is an absolutely irrestible earworm! (When I clicked on it, I thought "Oh, of course!")
I had never heard it before and it was terribly apropros.

What is your favorite seasonal sundae?

What is your favorite seasonal sundae?
All of their sundaes have clever names, so this one is the Sweater Weather: pumpkin ice cream with caramel and cinnamon whipped cream and a slice of pumpkin pie, plus a couple of additionally sugary toppings that I always ask them to hold because it takes me two rounds to eat this sundae no matter what. They only have pumpkin ice cream in the fall, starting in October and ending whenever in November they run out. It's my favorite flavor of theirs; sometimes I just order it by itself. They do offer other sundaes that use it as a base, but I have never liked any of them as well. Basically they started as a late-night ice cream truck catering to college students, so just about everything they serve is slightly outrageous and the size of a person's head.

I came and listened to the jackhammer song and loved it ... but apparently never got back to say so? And I adore these buildings as celestial calendars--fabulous, even more so for the fact that the architect couldn't have planned it.

I figured you were busy!

It seems to be eternally relevant judging from the traffic cones and a detour sign we're seeing on our street again. If this construction is still going by next April, I want to make some kind of formal complaint to the city, by which I maybe mean blasting this song outside the Department of Public Works.

Even Manhattanhenge was built on a known grid!
