My usual self is a very unusual self, and don't you forget it

Things that arrived in the mail today: Ben Macallan's Desdaemona and Ron Drummond's The First Woman on Mars. I like this set-up where I know people who write.

I saw first that Shelagh Delaney had died, and then John Neville. There never appears to have been a Region 1 release of A Taste of Honey (1961), but I know where to find The Adventures of Baron Munchausen (1988). Imagination and the kitchen sink.

"Not yet"? Is that famous?

Glad to hear the chapbook arrived in good time; I hope you like it! It's a pleasure and an honor being a part of your community, and there is no chance I will ever forget the delightfully unavoidable truth of your post's title. I'm told by Papaveria Press that my copy of A Mayse-Bikhl is on its way -- very much looking forward to it.

My Mom knew John Neville, briefly but intimately. She was telling me today about how a friend of hers who used to play the ukelele for Alzheimer's patients visited him in hospital, maybe a month before he died; he had no opinions on what he wanted to hear, so she did "Tiptoe Through the Tulips", and saw him perking up halfway through, starting to treat it as though she was auditioning for him. After, he said: "You're very talented, you know. You could have a career."

Aw, man!

Oh, I can't wait for my copy of the chapbook to GET HERE. Silly mails.

I'm glad to hear of the new books.

Sorry about the paired losses. I'd not really thought about The Adventures of Baron Munchausen in years, but it was the first film I ever saw with my first girlfriend. A lot of memories, there.

Books in the post! Hooray!

Damn, I hadn't heard about John Neville.
