But only as a doubtful guest

Claude Lévi-Strauss died!

Claude Lévi-Strauss was still alive!

I fail current events.

(In other news, I am returned from Providence, where there was pizza and much late-night conversation with readingthedark, and last night Viking Zen and I watched Volver (2006), my first film by Almodóvar. I liked it. Today I am back to raking the lawn.)

Yeah...don't feel too bad, I've enjoyed his work and also didn't realize he was still alive. But when you know someone was born 100 years ago and they're not at least semi-regularly in the public eye like George Burns and Bob Hope still were in their late 90s to 100, there's some allowance for forgiveness. :)

This also happened to me in 2005 with Christopher Fry.
