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.

The pic is SO artistic.

It went bang bang, I said shut up

I'm glad to hear that there were good things in your day, to make up for the frustrating ones! 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. And your summer theme song is an absolutely irrestible earworm! (When I clicked on it, I thought "Oh, of course!")

Great pic! The deep blue is amazing.

I am glad my short-story hypomania could contribute to your good day! I feel like the time is coming around on the metaphorical guitar to take to the sea, anyway!

That is an AMAZING photo of the mall.

I hadn't heard that Captain Sensible record in eons.

What is your favorite seasonal sundae?

How have I failed to comment on quite so many journal entries?

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.

Incredible photo!
