Blog Out damn spot... It turns out I did sign up for Apple+. I blame (and thank) Chuck for the Severance recommendation. I am doing my best to spread the contagion. It's a great show. Tonight I started watching The Tragedy of MacBeth. I think MacBeth and Hamlet are neck and neck for the
On the Streets Half of what you see, none of what you hear Today was a good day, yesterday was pretty lousy. Let's start with the lousy. It started off ok. The building manager and the gas meter inspector folks were coming round. You know what that meant - stuffing everything into a closet. I'm exaggerating, a little. (TB - I always imagine

I'm worried that it could crash and burn or wrap itself in knots, but I enjoy watching it. Amanda Collin, Abubakar Salim, and Niamh Algar are fantastic. (The
Movies Ridley Scott stole my moleskine scribbles Hi there. You're reading a blog. I'm going to exercise my Sherlockian powers of deduction. You like reading and writing.
