One thing I can attest to after a lifetime of being bullied is that when they say "give me your lunch money or I'll beat you up" they really mean "AND I'll beat you up."

Improve a first line by substituting Mrs Dalloway.
Mrs. Dalloway, light of my life, fire of my loins. My sin, my soul. Da-lo-way: the tip of the tongue taking a trip of three steps down the palate to tap, at three, on the teeth.

Google Calendar removed Transgender Day of Visibility from its schedule, so I feel it necessary to point out that the @museumbums.bsky.social calendar for this year, a copy of which hangs in our kitchen, very much has it listed.

69 Love Songs, 25th anniversary tour. Could only get tickets for the first night, songs 1-35, but, as super as it was, it felt like enough nostalgia, especially if I have to stay out past bedtime.

Watched the very 70s adaptation of Ionesco's Rhinoceros last night with Zero Mostel, Gene Wilder, & Karen Black. The disc also offerend an interview with the director, Tom O'Horgan, shot in front of a wall of mid-century recorders, curtals, the inevitable crumhorns, etc.
