We've been talking that we need to just get a copy of PAHR since it bears chewing on, local video stores don't carry it, and netflix is too frustrating.

It's not in art-house release right now, is it?

Sadly not in general release -- our neighborhood kino clubhouse got it in for a midnight show as part of the "Sex, Art & Psychology" series. On the other hand, I now have a like-new criterion copy I had to buy to get that swan shot. Send me your shipping address and I'll deed it over to you guys.

Magnificently bizarre print and apparently the best in circulation, so naturally it's damaged: glossy almost scratchless image, only with a persistent pattern of pinpoint holes in the emulsion flickering around the left center like a swarm of insects or else a raudive ghost. The distributor reportedly took a look at the problem and pronounced it sad but "beautiful." It's like a new character.

Will you need your sunglasses to finish the wedding list? When's the happy occasion and what is it?

I think I will need the sunglasses to survive this stint on the wedding list (rule one: don't make eye contact). The dowagers have started hovering -- one in particular has thoughtfully both scheduled a "dishy" dinner party for the explicit purpose of marrying me off and, in the same breath, "composed my epitaph." Funny stuff. Meanwhile I am tackled at the office by this unexpected policy paper.

The Riddle of Maria
So I'm at the Young Drunks Table at one of last month's weddings and the previous wedding's bride (married all of a week) tells me what a great role model Maria von Trapp is. I say, "oh great, a failed nun." She says, "not a failed nun at all, I mean, Christopher Plummer." Perhaps immune to his understated charm, I say, "okay, that may be a triumph in itself, but not exactly in the traditional nun direction."

A-ha! The Social Registry and Wacky Hi-jinks ensue. Beset by Dildoms still?

Yeah, my average dowager isn't quite so fancy, but definitely the same dynastic meddling impulse. Throw in a potentially dilating domicile....
