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.

1.

I'm glad to hear of this.

I'm sorry to hear of the disintegration of your plans. I hope things improve soon. I hope you enjoy watching Case Histories. I very much liked the 2003 Peter Pan; it dealt better with some of the complexities of the story, I thought. The edginess of it, to use a terrible cliché.

3. Have an interview with Tilda Swinton.

For a moment I thought you were saying you yourself had an interview with Tilda Swinton; fortunately, I realised what was actually involved before I congratulated you on the fact. Interesting interview, in any event. Thank you for sharing it.

I'll be proofreading.

Hope it's productive, and ideally pleasant as well.

I don't think it's edgy, but it's aware of all its currents, under and overt, which is rare.

Oh, I wish!

That is a better way of putting it, I think.

I wish you did as well. It would make for interesting reading.
