sovay: (I Claudius)
1. I was just supposed to meet [livejournal.com profile] derspatchel for lunch at Christopher's. We left Porter Square Books something like five hours later. It's not like I never meet people to whom I do not have to explain Anna Russell, but it's still strangely cheering when it happens.

2. Tomorrow I leave for D.C., to spend the weekend with a combination of [livejournal.com profile] rushthatspeaks, B., [livejournal.com profile] strange_selkie, [livejournal.com profile] darthrami, and my god-daughter whose second birthday is being celebrated on Saturday. The one downside: I am going to miss Mission of Burma at the Brighton Music Hall, which I'd been planning on before I saw how the dates lined up. I haven't heard them live since 2010. They had better start playing a lot more local shows.

3. I haven't heard that it's traveling to Boston, so I really don't want to miss the International Center for Photography's Weegee: Murder Is My Business, especially after seeing The Naked City (1948) in the fall. It doesn't seem impossible that I should be able to get to New York before September, though.

4. I imagine most of you have seen this already, but it is still extremely cool: "What would the trunk of a tree sound like if a cross section of it were played like an LP?"

5. There are about a dozen essay-ish posts I want to make on various things I have read or watched, but I don't think any of them are getting written this weekend. The rest of this sentence fell over into self-recrimination, so I think I'm going to bed.

It's finally snowing. It's rather lovely. Why does it have to be the day I fly somewhere?
