We ride by waves that you ought to try

Today contained a surprising amount of running around, mostly because the MBTA all but literally fell over. Tomorrow will contain even more running around, but in that case it's because spatch and I are taking the train to New York so that I can be interviewed either very late on Wednesday night or very early on Thursday morning on WBAI's Hour of the Wolf. Tune in and listen to me read and answer questions! If I have to live with this gutting insomnia, I'm going to make it work for me.

I don't understand what governs Amazon rankings, but earlier this evening Forget the Sleepless Shores was hovering at #136,392 overall but #82 for "Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual & Transgender Books," which made me happy. I don't want to drive myself crazy, but of course now I want to know how it gets to #1.

I really enjoyed this review of a Bob Fosse film festival, especially the descriptions of Damn Yankees (1958), Cabaret (1972), and Sweet Charity (1969).

I have seen some movies I would like to write about, but see above under gutting insomnia.

Thank you for the vicarious Bob Fosse festival. I did not know he had made 'THe Little Prince', and would love to have seen it, however terrible...

You're welcome!

I saw it as a child and I'm not convinced it's that awful. Almost the only things I remember about it are Wilder's Fox and Fosse's Snake, and I remember almost nothing of the latter's song (except that at some point my brain mixed it up with "If You're a Viper") but a great deal of his dancing, so whatever Fosse was doing, it worked.
