I know, I've seen the scythe in its sheath

I was mistaken for an academic this afternoon at the bookstore which made me want to go home and shoot myself in the head, but when I actually got home a package of white chocolate and lemon Milanos was waiting for me from selkie and I managed to get a picture before the rain started of the previously mentioned neighborhood decoration.



Every single review I have encountered so far of Death by Lightning (2025) has proceeded from the assumption that the reader and by extension the viewer has never heard of Charles Guiteau and only vaguely, perhaps dutifully of President James Garfield and I just don't think Sondheim fans are that thin on the ground. At least it should popularize this particularly indelible fact.

I am always nervous of works of art where everyone around them seems to have the idea that their topic is impenetrably obscure but don't worry! it'll all be explained! I'm going to try anyway but it leaves me with tempered explanations about how much annoying hand-holding there will be.

I will await your report. It has a fantastic cast and I have not at all been able to tell whether I want to burn my media processing on it.
