Mt. St. Helens vents so I don’t have to
Been too busy to read the news much the past few days. I’m trying to catch up, but it might be a day or two before I get back to blogging regularly. Here’s a post for you to read, if you must: Athenae bitch-slaps the ostriches. (First Draft)

On a somber note, I would like to mark the passing of Janet Leigh. For several years I worked at Universal Studios Florida, and I had the pleasure of performing in the Alfred Hitchcock tribute show (now closed, alas). The show recreated the shower scene from Psycho, with a Janet Leigh stand-in in a body suit. Mrs. Leigh showed up to do publicity when the venue opened in 1990 (-ish) and, by all accounts from my fellow cast members who were there at the time, was warm, gracious, and charming. If you get a chance, check out some of her films from Netflix. Besides Psycho, you can see Janet in The [original] Manchurian Candidate, Touch of Evil, and Bye, Bye Birdie.
