It's the glare from the reflection making patterns in your eye

Apologies for the list format. There will be a post with actual content when I get back from running errands.

1. I have been forgetting to post a link to this for days: Profane Love: Derek Jarman and Caravaggio, a video essay by Matt Cheney.

2. I don't believe these people are angling for an Ig Nobel, but I suspect it will be some kind of miscarriage of science if they don't eventually get one: they are fundraising to study the explosive erections of ducks.

3. I am hoping to watch Obsession (1949) tonight on TCM. It's a crime film/thriller made in England by Edward Dmytryk during his Hollywood blacklist period; I've read about it, but never even seen a copy in a library. I don't believe it exists on DVD. For people who have televisions and like Robert Newton, you might want to check your local schedule.

You could buy them as a future investment.

Good point!

I might have to think on this. Of course, the problem is that if books are about for very long I get attached to them. Still, they might be worth adding to my mother's collection of children's books.
