I was so young when I was born
Tonight I had dinner at Machu Picchu with two friends who are not on Dreamwidth. There was ceviche and beef heart and papa a la Huancaína and wide-ranging conversation. It was really nice.

4. It's no use longing for a teleporter since I am contracted to spend this weekend in another city, house-sitting for friends' cats, but this year's theme at the Kansas Silent Film Festival is "Women in Silent Film" and the program looks great. Louise Fazenda, Colleen Moore, Alice Guy-Blaché, Lois Weber, Dorothy Gish, Mary Pickford, Mabel Normand, Alla Nazimova, female writers, actors, and directors I've never heard of, and genderqueer sky pirates to boot.
5. I cannot remember when or how I found the video for George Harrison's "Crackerbox Palace" (1976), but I'm really fond of it. Also of Harrison's eyebrows, which minus the moustache and with the mop-top grown out really come into their own.

It's been stuck in my head since we got home from the marathon!
More than a touch of the Rutles, there, not just in the video but in the songt itself...
It made me realize Harrison had a sense of humor. I mean, most people do to some degree, but not everyone quotes Mel Brooks.
Neil Innes and Eric Idle were involved!

(He did the song over the closing credits of Time Bandits, which took me years to find a recording of. There was never a TB soundtrack album, apparently due to Harrison's being too depressed by Lennon's assassination.)

That makes me really happy to hear.

Oh, yes. What
There's a lovely quotation from him whe he was busted for hash: "I'm a tidy man. I keep my socks in the sock drawer and stash in the stash box..."

I'm delighted.
