And all her images of everything between now and then

I aten't dead. I just aten't sleeping, either.

The HFA is indeed screening the complete filmography of Robert Aldrich starting in June! The descriptions are starting to go up now. Between that and the Brattle's noir of the 1950's, I should at least have a lot of things to distract me that month. Even odds on whether I'll have the intelligence to write about any of them.

I am delighted by the concept of a sea sponge the size of a minivan. All I could think of was Peter Falk in The In-Laws (1979): "They have tsetse flies down there the size of eagles."

I would love to know how the Lorenz teleprinter recently bought by the National Museum of Computing got into the seller's garden shed. I hope the motor turns up soon.

I just recently shared The In-Laws with Kestrell. I was deeply relieved that it remained hilarious, despite my not having seen it since I was 12 :-)

Apropos of nothing, has anyone yet introduced you to Ada Palmer's _Too Like the Lightning_? Excellent debut SF novel from a professional historian. Struck me as very much the sort of thing you would like.

I had a similar experience when I showed it to derspatchel last year. I was so happy. "Serpentine! Serpentine!"
