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.

I so less than three The Great Race! I haven't thought of that movie in years.

One of my fave raves. CBS used to show it like 20 times a year, and I never saw it in color until the 1990s. It's taken me forever to get it, and I don't know why.
