mechanised reanimated, if you please

[incandescens]

Useful (if slightly expensive) day. Did the usual shopping, and also managed to get plane ticket for holiday, at lower price than usual. Not quite sure why I was lucky, but am not going to look gift horse in mouth, etc.

Am also having fun currently writing zombie mechanised reanimated attack in book 3. (A specific character is very precise in their terminology.)

Am also being a shallow person and rather pleased with the photo/poster of the new Elisabeth production from Takarazuka. Very shallow, yes.

A Noiseless Patient Spider

A noiseless patient spider,
I mark'd where on a little promontory it stood isolated,
It launch'd forth filament, filament, filament, out of itself,
Ever unreeling them, ever tirelessly speeding them.

And you O my soul where you stand,
Surrounded, detached, in measureless oceans of space,
Ceaselessly musing, venturing, throwing, seeking the spheres to connect them,
Till the bridge you will need be form'd, till the ductile anchor hold,
Till the gossamer thread you fling catch somewhere, O my soul.

-- Walt Whitman

Eh, shallow's not always a bad thing. ;)

It certainly has enjoyable moments.

Btw, I've been told that the local Toho Cinema has a Takarazuka store in the lobby. Haven't had a chance to investigate, but should you be looking for anything recent, I can always look there for you.

... ooh. Thank you very much indeed. Should you see a DVD of their version of Phantom there (though it's not very recent), or their upcoming Elisabeth (whenever the DVD of that comes out), I would be very interested indeed. (And would of course repay you.)
