I will improve your life in such small, infinitesimal, unimportant ways you won’t even notice after years of following me.

Captain   Tennille with Neil Sedaka   Love will Keep Us Together
YouTube video by Johnny McBride Captain Tennille with Neil Sedaka Love will Keep Us Together

RIP Neil Sedaka who wrote this gem for himself, but it took Captain & Tennille to make it a classic. Is he singing higher than Tennille?

I didn’t get Last Year at Marienbad one whit in high school. Loved it as an adult. It’s like Kubrick plus Hitchcock plus perfume commercials (Channel did costumes). It’s as vague as I remember, but much easier to track if you’re into literary fiction and sci-fi. A must see for free on Kanopy.

Finished this wild, twist-filled 40s novella and am now firing up Last Year at Marienbad on Kanopy. Apparently Morel inspired it. Both book and movie were free with a library card.

Not looking forward to canceling HBO, but I’ll do it.

Chapter 1 of Moby Dick, page 1 

The phrase ‘Call me Ishmael’, the first sentence of the book, is highlighted in blue, with careful highlighting on the very big C at the start. Above this, written in ballpoint pen ‘His name’

Love the glimpse into the beautiful mind that notated this used copy of Moby Dick I got

The arty ones will remain (wider). Only the skinny mass market ones (pocket sized) are going bye bye. I used to have a ton of them before I learned I have a mold allergy. Then all my yellowing spy and detective novels had to hit the road.

Tragic. Especially since a lot of young people like books on paper.

This was the inside cover. Mass market paperbacks kept me reading in the Summer. Sad to see them go.

I don’t read on paper anymore (need that big ole Kindle font size), but I will pour one out tonight for the death of mass-market paperbacks in America. Horror novels in particular had terrific covers in the 70s and 80s. Never forget the scares in this one I read in elementary school.

Why do I have to pretend that I'm going to print something in order to save it as a PDF. Why do I have to engage in a little ruse.

I watched Argylle on Apple out of curiosity and after an hour it seemed no worse than other Hollywood drivel (and has a great cast), so why was it so reviled? Well, I soon found out. It goes completely off the rails and does Bryce Dallas Howard so dirty in what they put her through. An abomination.

They cut the price $20K and have gutted the extras it used to come with. And they killed the Tesla X and S models recently. They are toast as an automobile company. Yet morons think Elon is going to lead the way on robots.
