In the time and the place I am

To my great and exhausted displeasure, the cold has now moved into the stage where it is impossible to organize or think or sleep, meaning that all plans I had for today are no go. TCM is showing No Highway in the Sky (1951) at eight o'clock, so I suspect I will lie on the couch and stare vaguely at James Stewart. I have no idea what I'm going to do until then.

Have a photograph of me blowing a conch shell for New Year's. I came inside after my mother mildly suggested the neighbors were going to assassinate us.

Here are a series of short Youtube videos for you to watch while you wait for Jimmy Stewart. They come to me courtesy of [livejournal.com profile] desert_sparrow, who finds--and knows about--wonderful things. The first is a working replica of the Antikythera device, made of legos. And then the next two are two videos from Nature magazine, talking about the device.

Hope you are soon fully recovered!

See you at Arisia?

Look after yourself, [livejournal.com profile] sovay, and get well soon. (Also, disinfect the conch.)

That happens to be one of my favorite films.

Be well. Banish dark.

Blowing a conch shell for New Years--how wonderful! :)

I commiserate--I am mid-cold as well, and will probably end up staring vaguely at James Stewart too. Feel better!

If your neighbours were annoyed with conch-blowing, they should have come to my neighbourhood--somebody was setting off fireworks on New Year's Eve.

Sorry you're feeling so poorly. I hope you're feeling better soon, and I hope the movie provided some pleasantish distraction.

Sorry about the cold. :( Hope you are soon fully recovered!
