Anesthetising self with anime, which seems to work well. Watched the end of Revolutionary Girl Utena. O, trauma! The last volume has (subtitled) commentary with Chiho Saito and the Director Whose Name I Cannot Remember, which is pretty funny. Next: the Utena movie.

Also got The Great Race (now $9.99!) in the mail yesterday, and spent a half-hour with that.

Theatrical trailer (included) advertises it as, among other things, "THE GAYEST!" Though it's no Lawrence of Arabia, I'm not about to argue. Cheesy 60s making-of documentary pointed out that some of the movie was filmed in Salzburg. This made me feel better, since bits of the town had given me massive deja vu back in 1980, and now I know why. (And it wasn't from no goddamned Sound of Music, Mr. Tour Guide.) Comes with French language track ("Un parachute!" "Un parachute!"), so I can learn how to say "GET OFF MY HOOD!" in French.

Dear Ann:

While I understand that you are justifiably proud of your facility with the dishwasher, please keep one thing in mind: If you really want to get that weird oily shit off the butter knives, it is vitally important that you remember to include soap.

Best wishes,

Ann
