"Don't break the silence. Don't let me win."
Yeah, so. Crap Day the Next. Mostly sunny by afternoon. High of only 81˚F.
There are things that ought to take a few hours on one day to get done. A few hours on one day. But sometimes, shit just gets stupid, and between one thing and another what should be quick and easy and matter of fact becomes peculiarly resistant to completion. For example, the galleys for Vile Affections. More specifically, the copy editor's/production manager's notations. No, it has not yet been finished.
Today's movie was Tarantino's Reservoir Dogs (1992), still brilliant after all these years. I will say that I have always been disappointed there was not some marvelous symbolism hidden in the title, but, rather, to quote Wikipedia, the title "came from a customer at the Video Archives [where Tarantino was employed], who requested Louis Malle's 1987 film Au revoir les enfants, but mispronounced the title as 'reservoir dogs.'" Rimshot.
And speaking of stupid shit, the State of Alabama. We are now the least vaccinated state in the Union, at an embarrassing 29% of Alabamians fully vaccinated. Even Mississippi (just barely) is now better vaccinated than Alabama. And there's plenty of vaccine here. It's readily available pretty much everywhere. FUCKING FREE OF CHARGE. This is simply a matter of overall ignorance, anti-scientific bullshit, and partisan pigheadedness.
