And where the arrow leads, you never know
As part of my birthday month,
spatch just presented me with a little black cat bag containing the Criterion flash sale fruits of Orson Welles' The Immortal Story (1968), which I had loved at the start of this month.

I just want an extra week in the month to do nothing but sleep instead of talking to doctors and bureaucracies. I can't believe we are almost out of October. It should be an inexhaustible resource.

It was incredibly sweet! I have hung the little black cat bag like a banner on the door of the bedroom.

As for October dimming into November, you could always declare that you would designate November as the October Extension.

It had been such a sleepless day and it was such a lovely thing.

I like the idea of November as October II.

I like that far better than, say, October 2.0; I love living in the computerized future, but there's still an old-fashioned part of me that likes October II far better.

I could use way more October.

It's still on the Internet Archive!

I feel I had last week stolen out from under me and would like recompense. But an extra week all round would be cool, too.

ETA: I seem to recall you were doing some Robert Carlyle watching earlier this month, and I kept meaning to link you to this gifset of him (I don't really know context beyond what is labelled): https://www.tumblr.com/thisbluespirit/798674880450134016?source=share

It really was! The cat bag is now a permanent decoration of our house.

Aw! Thank you so much. Catching him at the start of his career did make me wonder what he was doing lately and I'm glad to see the answer is "playing Sherlock Holmes."

I mean to tell you, I saw The Immortal Story, thanks to your post. The thing I noted was that Elishama seems (because of his haircut) to have elfin ears. ... Seemed right for the character.

What a great detail to notice. It does suit him.

It should be official. Intercalary October or bust.

A legitimate argument in favor of the calendar even if I still want that extra week!
