The Stars and the Cookie Jar

-- I need Straight Eye For the Queer Selkie. Please post your thoughts on how to act straight in the comments. To my knowledge, no one has mistaken me for straight since I was eighteen.

(I can act frum, but as Trembling Before G-d shows us, that doesn't do the trick.)

-- I wonder, if we played the Internationale at the wedding, would anyone notice? I would like to do it, out of homage to two people who would have gotten married, if they could have.

-- I was supposed to be asleep, but I'm writing. I hope I'm writing something I can use.

-- Why did I leave my copy of Dark Lord of Derkholm at work? And is Kit really dead? I really need to know whether Kit is actually dead. It's such a darkly parodic book, surely no one can really die. (For those who have not read, it features, as a bit player, a [male] dwarf named Galadriel who owes for a tankard of beer. Derk wonders what Galadriel's parents can have been thinking.)

--Recommend me a good film score to write by. My standards are Jane Eyre (Alessio Vlad and Claudio Caponi), Traffic (Brian Eno et al) and Girl With A Pearl Earring (Alesandre Desplat). No words, please, although incidental vocals are okay. I go different places in my head when I write, and words pull me out from the words I'm trying to make.

-- I wonder what taste synaesthesia would be called. I mean, tasting things as geometric shapes.
