Yesterday...

... my early night was slightly delayed by my printing out a couple of Grauniad cryptic crosswords, having discovered such things are possible. It was further delayed by an attempt to solve Saturday's prize crossword, inexplicably jumping to the unstated theme (The Tempest) by spotting PROSPER as shortened PROSPERO, and getting stuck finally on STANDARD ?A?E (Flag for speed - that's how it usually goes (8,4)).

Have I Posted This Already?

I really ought to write an abstract for a conference on Memory and Identity. I'd forgotten the deadline was coming up. And my mind has gone blank. It looks like it's a tv conference, although the CFP mentions film.

Have I watched anything this century (which I'm assuming is the cut off point) which I could get enthusiastic enough about, doesn't commit me to watching multiple 22 episode arcs and hasn't already had two or three anthologies of academic coverage already. Most of the tv I watch is crime related.

I think that leaves Demons.

And I'm not sure any of the films I know about which might fit are available (must track down The Nature of Nicholas again). My head is in the wrong decade. (Has anyone had dealings with azov.com?)
