I actually took the liberty to watch Kairo once again before all that. That's one movie I can't quite ever classify. I wouldn't call it a horror film as you're generally not scared watching it... but there's not many films that are as creepy. Best film about loneliness in the modern age I've ever seen or could imagine.
It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood, who strives valiantly; who errs and comes short again and again; because there is not effort without error and shortcomings; but who does actually strive to do the deed; who knows the great enthusiasm, the great devotion, who spends himself in a worthy cause, who at the best knows in the end the triumph of high achievement and who at the worst, if he fails, at least he fails while daring greatly. So that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who know neither victory nor defeat.

I thought that was The Royal Tenebaums. But I'll check this one out.
I survived the Permian and all I got was this t-shirt.

HiddenOne. You son of a bitch. You slimy, skulking, low-posting scumbag. You knew it would come to this. Roundabout, maybe. Tortuous, certainly. But here we are, you and me again. I started the train on you so many many hours ago, and now I'm going to finish it. Die HO. Die. This is for last time, and this is for this game too. This is for all the people who died to your backstabbing, treacherous, "I sure don't know what's going on around here" filthy lying, deceitful ways. You son of a bitch. Whatever happens, this is justice. For me, this is justice. Vote HiddenOne Finally, I am at peace.

Reading this:
I regret to report the death on 12 November of Margaret (Peggy) Drower MBE, just one month short of her 101st birthday (I noted her 100th in a Newsletter last November). She studied Egyptology at UCL (diploma and BA) between 1932 and 1935 with Sir Flinders Petrie, the founder of Egyptian archaeology, and Margaret Murray (whose autobiography was entitled My First Hundred Years). She was appointed Assistant Lecturer in the History Department in 1937 by Professor Norman Baynes, who asked her to develop a course on the history of the pre-hellenistic Near East. This established the subject, unique to UCL, as an essential part of historical study; the success of this is shown by the subsequent appointments of Professor Amélie Kuhrt (1979-2009), Professor Karen Radner (2005-) and Dr. Eleanor Robson (2013-). She was Reader in the Department until her retirement in 1979. She then published the still definitive biography of Petrie (1985), combining work on it with presidency of the Egypt Exploration Society. In 1986 she became a Fellow of UCL and was appointed a Visiting Professor in the Institute of Archaeology in 1997, whose students (including its former director, Professor Peter Ucko), she had taught for many years. In 2004 (aged 93), she published a selection of the correspondence between Hilda and Flinders Petrie, Letters from the Desert: the correspondence of Flinders and Hilda Petrie (Oxford: Aris & Phillips). Her family expect to organise a Memorial Ceremony around the end of February 2013.
... and thinking about the fact that this lady lived through almost the whole twentieth century. isn't this absolutely amazing? think of everything that happened in these 100 years and she was there, seen it, experienced it; two world wars, discovery of DNA structure, development of computers, letters to email, moon landing, horse and carriage to cars and airplanes, high speed trains, Churchill, Thatcher, one or two kings before Queen Elizabeth and everything else I forgot. Amazing.

Whenever I see an obituary for a truly elderly person, it always brings the 2008 armistice day parades to mind for me.
The last three surviving combat veterans of World War One were at the service in London, 90 years to the day since the END of the war.
Henry Allingham, Air Force, 112
Harry Patch, Army, 110
Bill Stone, Navy, 108

Wow. That's actually incredible. Talk about a life! I wonder how she felt, having to live through the whole century.
What am I doing right now? Listening to Miracle of Sound create songs that, by all rights, should be in the gosh-darned vidya games theyselves.
