Pancakes are generally rolled up!

This weekend was full of bobcat. I managed to salvage that portion of Sunday which involved seeing Jack Clayton's Something Wicked This Way Comes (1983) and The Bespoke Overcoat (1956) at the Harvard Film Archive with gaudior and rushthatspeaks, and today made a huge leap forward at the point where derspatchel took me to dinner at The Friendly Toast and then to a late showing of Moonrise Kingdom (2012)—which I loved, better, I think, than any other Wes Anderson I've seen so far—but in general the last four days have not been among the best. I have, at least, as of this writing, a working computer with a hard drive I didn't have to pay for and all the data I backed up with extreme paranoia on Friday. There are some internet-related problems I will have to address, but not until the morning. Ditto the oh, God number of e-mails I have to answer. Kalliope, muse of epics, pray for me.

strange_selkie sent me this for whenever I came back online: the seven highly productive habits of Alan Turing. Don't forget about chaining your tea mug to the radiator.

Hello. I'm going to bed.

I hope the coming days are an improvement for you, but I'm pleased that you've got a working computer.

Add Something Wicked to the Ever-Expanding- To-Watch-List; can't believe I've never seen it, given how much I love the novel.

May Kalliope be kind to you.

Don't forget about chaining your tea mug to the radiator.

Thus in years to come, the ponds of many nations will be saved from excavation for their hoards of mugs thrown in by absentminded deputies.

Those are excellent habits Mr. Turing cultivated.

Glad you're back to being more or less connected--more later; I've got to go mail a bobcat.

While we're talking of Turing, any chance you could re-post that Matmos track? As you know, I was less lucky in getting my data back from the previous incarnation of this hard drive.

[Unselfishly], I am *very* glad you have your computer back.

I'm glad you managed to salvage something of Sunday and that you've a working computer again.

I hope today and the following days will be better ones.

Thanks for sharing this. Alas, if only I had a radiator to chain it to...

I'm so glad that you have a dybuk-free computer (that's the Jewish equivalent of computer gremlins, right?)

I thought of you reading Cat Valente's Silently and Very Fast for the Hugo list because in midstream she rewrites the story of Alan Turing as if it were Snow White which is something I've been wanting to do for yoinks and seems like the sort of thing that would appeal to you.
