It is so difficult to make a neat job of killing people with whom one is not on friendly terms
Tonight's culinary experiment: beef Wellington. Success!
Then we watched Kind Hearts and Coronets (1949), so it was either a tremendously English evening or just a nice finish to a day that included an afternoon with my best cousins. (I am unable to determine from cursory research whether beef Wellington is an authentically British recipe; sources seem to differ, and I got this version from Gourmet. It was surprisingly uncomplicated to make.) The discovery of a Hellenistic temple to Bastet is not more awesome than civil-engineering slime mold, but it does make me happy.
Gotten from several people, as is probably appropriate: reply to this post and I'll tell you one reason why I like you. Then, if you feel like it, go forth and do the same.

Yes, but not since my family lived in Arlington ( ≈ nineteen years). I suspect it was my introduction to Alec Guinness, not that I would have been able to recognize him at that age from eight different characters. It holds up incredibly well—I know there are recent films with an equally devil-may-care attitude toward the sympathy of their protagonists, but I'll have to think of them, and I don't think the ending could be improved in any way.
You were one of the few people I met at Yale who spoke my language. This is not unrelated to your habit of conversing macaronically in German.
