I have less than nothing to say tonight. Anything I said would actually reduce the sum of public knowledge, just as a carbon credit is supposed to reduce global warming (but doesn’t).
Gleaned from a comment at Luther At the Movies: Scenes from Luther’s life done in Legos! That’s what I call culture!
For Aitchmark and other cat-lovers: This piece by Austrialian writer Hal G. P. Colebatch on cats in literature.
Sorry, that’s all I’ve got. Wake me when it’s summer.
About cheese. Chesterton has an essay on cheese; which begins; “My forthcoming work in five volumes, `The Neglect of Cheese in European Literature,’ is a work of such unprecedented and laborious detail that it is doubtful whether I shall live to finish it.”

Speaking of cats; my favorite sf writer (Cordwainer Smith) wrote a lot about characters who were part cat part human (his underworld people). This comes to mind because I just read an incredible story of his; ‘The dead lady of clown town’ (which totally blew me away.)
Thanks for the link to the cheese essay, and I have to say that “dead lady” and “blew me away” seem to go together.
Lovely. Thanks!

The cat piece gave me an odd thought: could it be that cats are Platonic and dogs Aristotelian?
Mickey Mouse’s dog is Pluto-nic.

Oh be sirius.
