Getting drunk and ordering books I've been meaning to find forever...
Like "Voyage to Arcturus" by David Lindsey. A couple of books by Blaise Cendrars. And, of course, previously mentioned, "Red Spectres". I'm laying in for winter.
And I'm wondering why i didn't order them sooner, like, what was blocking me?
Books soothe my restless soul. So we'll see.
Anyways, something to wait for...

Having seen most of his work before the popularity of the Internet I'd thought I'd seen it all. But going down the well of Polish Film Directors I chanced upon a whole pile of his earlier shorts and interviews.
So some good cinema/company to pass the time waiting for my copy of "Red Spectres" to arrive.
(I gave up on searching for it, too obscure, broke down and ordered it off of Abebooks. It was Bonnie Garmus that did it to me...)

So, the northern lights out the other night, went on a photo safari with mixed results. Down to the bridge, where I'd hoped to capture a great visual of them above it - no such luck, but as I was walking back through Lakeside Park of course they improved.
Anyways, here's a few of the dozens of pictures I took.
Note to self: Next time be a little more patient and bring a tripod!!
