Is anyone else following this insane Canadian murder case? Human torso found in a suitcase in Montreal? A rotting hand & foot sent to different political headquarters? Prime suspect an amateur porn actor/kitten killer?
Also, Canadian news coverage is charmingly wholesome.

All that water comes jetting up from between the slats, from left to right, initially right behind this man and then farther and farther down the pier. 
still from ‘Come Dancing’ (Douglas, 1970)

Just got on board with writing for Cine-File and was tempted to say by way of introduction that I like movies that have cats or penises, especially ones in German. Then I realized that this might encapsulate my taste really well.

It’s hard to balance a totoro on your head!
It’s Friday night and I’m stayin’ in listening to old Elvis Costello records (okay, the same one as always, despite owning… 5 of them?) and applying for jobs below my education level because switching tracks is incredibly hard, even with a masters (in the field you’re trying to switch into (aka my continual plea of ‘professional librarianship, quit doin me wrong!’)) and a steady and “progressively responsible” work history.
Seriously! Professional film projection involves perfectly interpreting the artistic vision of others AND dealing with lots of idiosyncratic folk AND handling expensive yet delicate things in big machines AND (at least for me) training lots of people to do lots of complicated technical tasks from scratch. Presumably this plus library school prepares me to work at the circ or reference desk.
Alas!
Anyway! It’s hard to balance a totoro on your head, but most other things are harder. Sneaky feelings. You can’t let those kinda feelings show.
(Sometimes it’s a good thing I live here, since there are so few temptations, and I can pretty much stay to the proverbial straight & narrow)

Rachel’s lament? That a baby bed is a way better idea in theory than in practice. SO LUMPY.

When Doug talks on the phone, he paces around and Marie, his normally abnormally sedentary cat (even for a cat) likes to run after his feet and pounce upon things. She also likes flexing her butt. But the best is when Doug moves at a faster pace than the cat can scamper at and so she lays down in what appears to be “hiding mode”, as though he’s a T-Rex or something.
