Though that's hard to make a movie show about
I still have the hell-cold! It could go away already! It's like Monty Woolley on Kleenex.
I am nonethless going with![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
ratatosk to see the Alloy Orchestra accompany a selection of short silent surrealist films at the Somerville Theatre tonight, because seriously, what about that program doesn't appeal? I am especially curious about Hans Richter's Filmstudie (1926), but I expect I'll come back raving about things I'd never heard of. Not literally, one hopes, but I suppose that will depend on how weird these things really are.
Before then—
Jeremy Denk on Charles Ives. The way he writes about the composer succeeds in making me want to hear how he plays him.
Evie Nagy on Miss Fury. I am not as familiar with superheroes of the 1940's as I am with most other media from that period, but I still feel I should really have heard of Marla Drake. I will be looking for this collection.
Vienna haunts William Boyd. (Look! There's Wittgenstein again!)
I am off to catch a bus.

Note to self
When I scroll around and see what you're up to, I'm getting really annoyed at not being in the Boston area anymore.
Thanks for the Vienna article. Reminds me once more that I really do need to read Musil's "Man without Qualities" at long last. I guess that's another one of those things on my to-do-list after that wretched dissertation is finished.
Greetings from ice-cold Erfurt!
Re: Note to self
Thank you. It may finally be starting to ease. I find myself wary of even saying that.

You'll just have to come back to visit.

I'll trust you if you tell me what you think of it, although then I'll be demoralized that I'll probably still have to read it in translation. Short-form, fine. Epic novels, I'm not so sure about right now.

Hello, Erfurt! Sorry about the cold!
