"It's hard to know which in your pajamas."
Tired, more tired than I have any right to feel.
Sunny today, and slowly it's warming towards a week in the eighties next week. Our high today was 70F.
Virginia Woolf wrote, “Lock up your libraries if you like; but there is no gate, no lock, no bolt that you can set upon the freedom of my mind.” And I think this quote, or, rather, the sentiment of this quote, is at the heart of the "contested" (I'm the only one contesting) introduction to Bright Dead Star. We live in a time of censorship, from the Right, from the Left, from the State, from Academia, from Social Media, and even from the people who take it upon themselves, almost always wrongheadedly, to try to teach others to tell stories.
Tired.
Last night we watched the first several episodes of Gus Van Sant's adaptation Capote’s Women: A True Story of Love, Betrayal, and a Swan Song for an Era. It's extremely watchable, and at times it's quite good, but overall...I can't say yet. Nor am I certain of a good deal of its historical accuracy. This afternoon's film was Sam Mendes' Skyfall (2012).
Please check out the Dreaming Squid Sundries shop. Spooly has a new shirt up. It's a good one. Thanks.
