(I think this one’s crazier than the last, which is a good thing in my book. Michael Powell fans should find it of some interest anyway. Maybe George Perec fans also. And will the title of this post be explained? Possibly.)

Haven’t got round to seeing Sebastian yet, but totally love your multiple variations on the name.

I’ve been urged to compel you all to put your comments over at The Auteurs! They’re a relatively new place and want lots of comments to make it look lived-in.

Yeah, if you hold some of those worn posts up to the light, you can see right through them. Worn away, like a well-loved teddy bear.

Or a well-loved nylon stocking. Heh.
