The sacrifice was to cast himself in the main role
First Jirous, now Václav Havel. To me he was mostly a character in a play I loved, but that doesn't mean something hasn't gone out of the world.
Back at the beginning of this month, I ordered the script for John Hodge's Collaborators from the National Theatre. (They still don't sell DVDs of their live broadcasts and I loved it.) It arrived yesterday in the mail, which was one of the two good things about yesterday. The actual line turns out to be "Smackhead groin doc turned smut-scribe," but I still think it's funny.
The previous day was the thing with the DMV, so I wound up watching Arsenic and Old Lace (1944) in the middle of the night to cheer up. It did work. It's one of the movies of my childhood; every time I watch it as an adult, I notice something else perverse. I should actually write about it sometime.
I still haven't really slept in two days.

The rarest of all governors.
I keep hoping for the DVDs, but the script is an excellent thing to have.

Oh yes, please!
Still hoping sleep will get its act together...

He is being well-remembered.

It reads very well. The stage directions are minimalist, but a couple of them are very funny. Something had evidently happened to my copy in transit, because it arrived looking not quite as though it had been through the wars, but definitely dinged-up around the edges; I am considering this thematically appropriate.
