Today is mostly work, but at least it is not mostly doctor's appointments. I failed to fight off the respiratory thing, but I have antibiotics and cats. Dr. Autolycus is in fact reading over my shoulder as we speak. Have some links.
1. I would not previously have said there was any point in an instrumental cover of Tom Lehrer, but Sam Edelston's "Masochism Tango" has done much to change my mind. On the 3-string piano. A friend says it reminds them of Anton Karas' theme for The Third Man (1949) and I say I would watch the heck out of that film noir.
2. In other musical (P.D.Q. Bach-esque question mark goes here) discoveries, please enjoy Pachelbel's Canon according to Czech train horns.
3. So I think that thing with civet cat coffee has been topped.
4. Bone marrow transplants do weird things to DNA.
5. Last but not at all least, the Lesbian Historic Motif Podcast will be open to short fiction submissions in January! Lesbians before 1900, professional rates, fantastic elements accepted. Knock this one out of the park, people.
I have started to feel lately as though I need to mention every movie I see even if I don't actually review it. I do not want to start logging movies. I have avoided that mindset with books for decades. It is not a way I wish to relate to my media and I'm really not hurting for accountability in the rest of my life. This complaint separate from all the movies I want to review and, as with so many other things I enjoy, need the time for. (ETA: Although I bet it is related to the conversation I was having last night with![[personal profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/user.png)
spatch about movies with one scene or gesture or character I really love and the rest of the movie, eh.)
