I've been asked to make a study of a strange sickness

[sovay]

1. My essay "I Can Hardly Believe It Happened: Terence Fisher's The Brides of Dracula," in which I realize more fully a bunch of my thoughts on this splendidly strange film, is now online at Weird Fiction Review. Slowly, my nonfiction creeps through the world.

2. handful_ofdust has supplied me with another Turing song: Andrew Bird's "Not a Robot, But a Ghost."

I hear the clockwork in your core
Time strips the gears
Till you forget what they were for
I push the numbers through your pores
I crack the codes
I crack the codes that end the war

3. Good news: Mike Leigh's Mr. Turner (2014) is getting a U.S. release. Bad news: I have to wait until December?

Dentist today. Lots of work. Yesterday was still totally worth it.

your friend with two new 3D-printed teeth, which I guess is cool but still BLECH!

It's technologically amazing, but what?

They took images of my teeth, printed them in a 3D printer using some kind of ceramic medium that, when cooked, is tooth-colored. Takes about 2 hours to print and cook, and then they have to grind off the sprue. The resulting crown looks almost exactly like the tooth it replaces.

Comes with a lifetime warranty. Science fiction times, man! We live in them.

I hope your teeth are behaving today.
