It is time to keep your appointment with the Wicker Man

[sovay]

I just learned that Christopher Lee has died.

The jackhammers came back this morning; I am desperately tired.

I wish I had a copy of Hammer's Dracula (1958). Or the 99-minute cut of The Wicker Man (1973).

[edit] Wait, what the hell, Ron Moody also died? What am I supposed to do now, double-feature the British occult with The Twelve Chairs (1970)? Why do I always think he had something to do with Carol Reed's A Kid for Two Farthings (1955) when he didn't? Dammit, I only ever saw him in two movies and I miss him. I cannot recommend having the soundtracks to The Wicker Man and Oliver! running in your head simultaneously.

That was a major bummer, but the obits kind of cheered me up in a weird way, because my God, if he didn't have a full life, nobody has. But still, very sad.

Anne Meare died the 25th of May too.

We have new construction in our neighborhood, and when they get to the roof portion, its just unbearable.. they start at 7 and go go go. Nail guns are noisy.

Also Ornette Coleman died.

I am sorry the jackhammers have returned.

Amazing lives, venerable ages, both of them--but damn.

Nine

Whoever runs the afterlife repertory company must be putting on a heck of a production.

Alas.

Death is frustrating as jackhammers.

That's a very singular amalgamation of music...
