The skipper's in the wardroom drinking gin

The internet is killingly slow for reasons relating to RCN having apparently melted down around one o'clock this afternoon (customer support lines included), so instead of anything that requires extended interaction, here is a photograph of my niece. Technically she is wearing a fluffy scarf belonging to my mother.



I think somebody needs to see Ponyo (2008) stat.

Yes! She does a good improvised merperson.

My mother showed me a video tonight in which she is waving her tail slowly back and forth and it looks like a living tail. The way she flexes her feet makes a curling fin. I wish I knew if she was too young for Splash (1984)—or just the scene where Madison's tail unfurls in the bathtub. I must have been about her age when I saw it for the first time, but I saw a lot of weird things young.

If she likes spending time with you, and she likes being a mermaid, I think she'd love watching Splash with you.
