So far, she's only climbed up my leg once.<br /><br />The oven mitt's a great idea -- but we threw ours away last week, after I got a pair of those newfangled neoprene mitts. I have a pair of heavy leather work gloves that should make a good substitute, though.<br /><br />Anything to use up some of that energy.

IIRC, I noted that discovery in a previous FHB, thanks (I'm sure) to The Bioscope.<br /><br />That site makes me a little sad, though, as the author's always going to amazing silent festivals. I used to see lots of stuff in NYC and other big cities, but after moving to the Pacific NW a couple years back, I've pretty much had to do without real movie theaters. I can't think too much about the MOMA theaters or I'll start bawling.<br /><br />Re: kittens, my pal Fourlegsgood recommends an oven mitt.Philahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15849261651028725772noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8695598.post-49526931772239058982009-11-21T00:24:09.535-08:002009-11-21T00:24:09.535-08:00Thanks for the link to Bioscope.

But then there was the Bioscope post and all the links I could ask for. Talk about synchronicity!<br /><br />There is as always plenty of other stuff to make my day in this Friday's Hope Blogging (especially the Mars Mapping project) but I have a long-standing fascination with that film, dating from the first time I saw some stills from it in Forry Ackerman's "Famous Monsters of Filmland" magazine.<br /><br />So I can't believe this is the first I've heard about the (almost) complete 16mm print they found in Argentina last year. That's only been kind of a Holy Grail for sf and silent film fans for over half a century.<br /><br />Yee-hah!<br /><br />Gotta go: getting mangled by a kitten.grouchomarxistnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8695598.post-49563845766338003682009-11-20T15:47:17.335-08:002009-11-20T15:47:17.335-08:00I know Judge Kozinski.
