“Pathetic little fat man” by Bowie.

(Wafer) Recipe (Confessional) Box.

It should be <strike>Jude</strike>* Canonical Law to give it that title.

Film to be discussed in Sunday’s Pope Culture Weekend-thread at the AV(e Maria) Club.

Hmm, so in Thomas Mann’s ‘Magic Mountain’ there is Mijnheer Pieter Peeperkorn, an aged, eccentric colonial merchant suffering from tropical fever. (The character’s appearance and behaviour is apparently modeled after German naturalist Gerhart Hauptmann). I’m not big on Mann and/or the Magic Mountain and I haven’t seen…

Lots of logan-eering these days, what with Logan Lucky and, erm, Logan, but not for me, I watched Dana Andrew’s Logan Stuart in Tourneur’s pretty damn good Canyon Passage, with an admirably well-executed fast but not frantic pace, firmly established character constellation, great colour/scenery, a pretty brutal…

“Give it to me straight. Straight like a pear cider made from 100% pears.”

Sardines on pretzel at the Klopeks’: it doesn’t get much better.

Ha! I showed it to my niece and nephew this evening, we were all delighted.

Hey, I have the Deftones one, too, great song.

Quarter moon in a ten cent town.

Change (in the house of flies) (is that the correct title?) by Deftones, magnificent song on a classic no-wrong-note album. (Otherwise not big on the band)

*wells up on reading first line*
