Hang on to me and I'll hang on to you
1. "Catullus V.101" has been accepted by Not One of Us. I am reluctant to refer to it as a poem of mine without some explanation; it is a version of Catullus 101 and I think it may actually be the first time I'll have a translation published. For various reasons, I am happy about this.

teenybuffalo started my day off right with a blast of fringe science: Buddhist 'Iron Man' found by Nazis is from space. Paging handful_ofdust—I think you wrote this one?
3. Herbert Lom has died. I never think of him in connection with The Pink Panther; I saw him first in The Ladykillers (1955), never taking off his hat indoors. He's the only one of the gang who carries his violin case as though he might know how to take a Tommy gun out of it, but he's no match for the obliviousness of a little old lady, indomitable as Britain. He disappears into the smoke with the rest. I should see that film again.
Have a very brief cheerful mix. It had to happen sometime.
Betty Hutton, "Murder, He Says"
He says, "Murder!" he says
Is that the language of love?
Emperor Norton's Stationary Marching Band, "I Forget"
Lal Waterson & Oliver Knight, "Midnight Feast"
I never thought I would find life easy
I was lately falling apart
And then you came and then you made me
Lean that bit harder on my heart
PJ Harvey, "Good Fortune"
Talking about time travel
And the meaning and just what it was worth
Talking Heads, "This Must Be the Place (Naive Melody)"
I got plenty of time
You got light in your eyes
And you're standing here beside me
I mean, physically I feel terrible. But it's going to be all right. I said that a lot, but I insist on meaning it this time.

Thanks for sharing the Buddhist meteorite sculpture, and the tracks.
I hope you'll be feeling physically less terrible soon.

Aww, Herbert Lom. (The Ladykillers just gets better every time I see it.)
I'm sorry you're feeling terrible, but glad you're feeling cheerful!

Congratulations; very glad it will be all right!

Thank you. I'll see if I can do more.

Here!
(I will post a link to the issue when it's out, too, but since you're on my friendlist? Why not. Catullus is important to me.)
I also like Carbon Leaf.

Thank you!
I hope you'll be feeling physically less terrible soon.
Honestly, I don't expect it, but so long as I can get out of bed at aaagh o'clock in the morning on Saturday and enjoy the Big E, I'll be satisfied.

Thank you!

I shall find and watch a copy. I must know someone who hasn't seen it yet and needs to.
I'm sorry you're feeling terrible, but glad you're feeling cheerful!
I like it better when my physical health is not trying to trash itself, because that rakes up all sorts of things, but it is a combination I can cope with better than the other way around!

Thank you.

Most welcome!

I hope you'll be satisfied. I hope you have a lovely time at the Big E. I've never been, but it sounds like the closest thing in New England to the Ohio State Fair, to which I've not been in a number of years that makes me uncomfortable to think about.* I'm told they even have butter sculptures. And the website makes it look as if there are creampuffs, which I'd been thinking were only a Midwestern thing.
*Eighteen years? It can't be true.

Hee. Of course!
Thank you.
