Well, of course we talk. Don't everybody?

I dreamed last night of Alan Turing and Christopher Morcom. (I was helping throw them a party. There was a cake. It was dark chocolate and bright green, from which I conclude one of them had a taste for crème de menthe. Happy Pi Day?)

I woke to an improbable piece of mail that cheered me immensely.

captainbutler had never seen Singin' in the Rain (1951). I got to watch someone see Donald O'Connor run up (and fall through) a wall for the first time.

greygirlbeast was at Pandemonium Books & Games, reading Chapter One of The Drowning Girl (2012). I don't know if there was really spectacular Indian food afterward, but there was discussion of Rift.

I had aguadito de pollo from Machu Picchu with derspatchel, the chicken-and-cilantro soup which the menu mentions is also known as levanta muerto, raise the dead. It actually kind of does what it says on the tin.

(I wound up explaining Gussie Fink-Nottle to ratatosk, but I don't think that was related.)

My poems "The Color of the Ghost" and "A Find at Þingvellir," otherwise known as the Wittgenstein poem and the poem about Mjölnir, have been accepted by Archaeopteryx: The Newman Journal of Ideas.

I gather from all of this that I am not Caesar, but I rather enjoyed the Ides of March.

Congratulations!

Well done on the poems! You're on a roll!

That sounds like a good dream (and a fine cake).

It cheers me to know you like BSP too. One of my favourite bands. I don't know that song at all, though; is it from the "Man of Arran" soundtrack?

An Andes mint cake?

I laughed, because I had just seen a recipe (http://eggton.com/2012/03/13/how-to-annoy-the-zoo-and-your-elected-officials-before-breakfast/) for bright-green mint cake. I can't decide whether I think it sounds good.

In the Hagiography of Poets, you might be Our Lady of Perpetual Acceptances. *grin*

Oh, yay, Wittgenpoem!

And if I could bear cilantro, yay soup!

I must try this sometime. Wow.

The rest sounds wonderful too, but soup that raises the dead...

Oh, fantastic! I don't think I've ever yet introduced someone to this film. I really must try sometime.

Wonderful! Congratulations! And a new journal for me to look into.

All of that sounds awesome.

As is that.

That's a wonderful dream. I hope the cake was tasty.

I woke to an improbable piece of mail that cheered me immensely.

I'm hoping it was a thank you note from Alan Turing and Christopher Morcom, but somehow I doubt that. Any road, I'm glad it cheered you.

Congratulations on the acceptances!

I gather from all of this that I am not Caesar, but I rather enjoyed the Ides of March.

I'm delighted that you enjoyed the Ides.

I'm very happy that you're not Caesar. I'd miss you, and I'd really rather hate to have to spend years of my life fighting Roman senators to avenge you.

On the Ides of March Kate Beaton said, "Today is the Ides of March--do you know where your enemy is?" --which I thought was cute.

A party and cake for Turing and Morcom: that's a distinctly excellent dream. Time for experimentation and creation of a recipe?

Also, yay for acceptances. These two sound very interesting. Where's the journal based?
