Into the light and out of the dark, to be with his red-haired lady

[sovay]

1. I am pleased to see that there is now an award named after the childhood author I had to keep describing to people, because rushthatspeaks is the only other person I've met who's read her. Apparently I was just in the wrong country. Maybe now I'll be able to find a copy of Devil on My Back (1984).

2. I am sad that my first week as a thirty-year-old has been mixed at best and all my plans for this weekend have disintegrated. Fortunately, I will be able to console myself on Sunday with Case Histories—Peter Pan (2003) reminded me that I do not have enough Jason Isaacs in my life. I was also reminded by Dreamchild (1984) that I've never written about that film, but it won't be happening this afternoon.

3. Have an interview with Tilda Swinton.

I'll be proofreading.

I went to school with Megan Follows. My Mom know her Mom, Dawn Greenhalgh.

That's funny! I know her primarily from the television productions of Anne of Green Gables, though I did read an interview with her in TV Guide ages ago at the height of her early fame, where she talked about being on a nude beach in France and being approached by a fan who thought that she and the actress who played Diana were 'the sex goddesses of Green Gables'. That she was utterly naked at the time did not help the tone of this encounter, though she did play it for laughs in the interview, which gave me a favorable impression of her sense of humor.

What is she like in person?
