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 thought of you this weekend, when we were in Brooklyn and I happened to see a street that is the same name as your given family name. Nobody around me seemed to know anything about why the street was so named, despite being at least moderately local. New York's a big place, I guess, and if you get big enough you find most anything?

Still, a fun coincidence.

I think someone has mentioned it to me before! I may be conflating it with the street with my family name in Sunnyvale, CA. I have no idea what the story is in Brooklyn.
