Things that begin with the letter S.

Lots of things that vary quickly, some that change slowly, some that remain the same.

The Magic Mountain. Novels of education, 'specially written between the wars. Good stories. Essays, too: Steven J Gould is a favorite. Also most histories. John McPhee's annals. SF like Iain Banks, Kim Stanley Robinson, Samuel Delany.

Fandango, all of Kubrick, even Barry Lyndon, Jabberwocky, American Werewolf in London, White (and Red, and Blue), Jaws 3 in 3D. Rear Window.

Kylie Minogue on the way from the airport in fog (preferably in the morning) winsome buttrock you can make mixed tapes with, Diamond Dogs, cheezy diva house on occasion.

Hmmm. Getting satellite and tivo, so the jury's definitely out on this one. It's still out. For some reason I watch more TV while travelling. Some favorites in other lands include Hogan's Heroes dubbed in German and FTV.

Nel mezzo del cammin di nostra vita
mi ritrovai per una selva oscura,
che la diritta via era smarrita.
Ahi quanto a dir qual era e cosa dura
esta selva selvaggia e aspra e forte
che nel pensier rinova la paura!
Tant' e amara che poco e piu morte;
ma per trattar del ben ch'i' v'ho scorte.

E quindi uscimmo a riveder le stelle.

Also Job 16:8-17.

Everyone.
