Somehow that last post about the living wills was deleted. Weird. Here is the link if you want.

Also, I saw Melinda and Melinda last night and liked it much more than that review suggests. I especially liked that people were sitting around with mostly empty glasses of wine and having three-hour conversations about whether comedy or tragedy is the baseline state of life -- which is actually a conversation I had very recently, independent of this movie and in a different sort of context, but same basic principle. I like that we have the intellectual luxury of that kind of talk in our lives sometimes.

make it simple, to last your whole life long

Someone outside the window -- the window and everything directly outside of it is really the main character of this blog, isn't it. I should give it its own username and password and let it get its own -- is singing "I am extra-Latin! I am extra-Latin!" at maximum possible volume. Thinking these lyrics were somewhat improbable, I stared at him for a while, but no. I can see his lips move. Definitely "I am extra-Latin." Extra-Latin! Yay?

This dovetails nicely with a dream I had last night... in the dream, I was watching a movie in a theater. All the dialogue was in Russian, but I could understand it up until some unidentified person next to me pointed out it was in Russian, and then I couldn't understand it any more. And then I left and went outside, only to discover I was in a big screening room on an airplane, which also had an outdoor courtyard you could fall through to get to the ground. Extra-Russian?
