slipjig3While I finish digesting my lunch and feigning industry:
1) Things that make my ears prick up: "I need to throw out some of these magazine racks." Suffice it to say that I now have a box of magazine racks, because you can't stop the music, the feeling, or the covetous grabby-hands when shelving supplies are at stake.
2) NPR Music has created a series of weekly-updated Spotify playlists, and the one entitled Slingshot is enough for me to add them to my Christmas card list.
3) Recreational marijuana possession is now legal in the state of Maine. NO REASON WHY I MENTION THIS CHRIST ALMIGHTY WHY ARE YOU ASKING SO MANY QUESTIONS
4) The temperature in Brunswick squeaked above 80 yesterday, for the first and only time so far this year. I adore Maine so much.
5) A week or so ago I finally watched Wings, the first Oscar winner for Best Picture. I expected silent melodrama, and got it. I also got frank violence, male and female nudity (!), one briefly-glimpsed but unmistakable lesbian couple (!!), the first-ever screen kiss between two men (!!!), a young and devastating Gary Cooper, some excellent tracking shots, and possibly the best aerial photography I've ever encountered. Very much worth the while. (I would like to state for the record that I only chuckled a little bit at the title card that read, "Oh, Dave, Dave—I was trying to get just one more Heinie just for you—")
