The steps are a blanched slope,
Up which, with feeble hope,
A black cat comes, wide-eyed and thin;
And we take him in.

When the world has dried, why do the lost flock to Mal Verdugo? Grief and death and the promise of conquering them both.

Following up on my viewing of FROM HELL (2001).

I cannot comment on how this adapts the graphic novel, but I quite liked the film, which is visually quite sumptuous and overall well performed, with Ian Holm in particular being a stand out...though I think that the MVPs here are the Hughes bros.

Physicist/chemist Katharine Burr Blodgett invented non-reflective glass in 1938.

It revolutionized optics & led to the coatings used today in everything from eyeglasses to phone screens. First woman to earn a PhD in #physics from Cambridge, 1926. She was born #OTD in 1898. #WomenInSTEM #inventor

I’m not much of a reader these days because of things. I listen to audiobooks, but I struggle to keep attention on anything that’s not a textbook I have an ulterior reason to read. That makes me sad. So I’m happy to report that I’ve started a novel & am moving through it at a (for me) decent clip!

Imagine my surprise when this showed up today. I had no idea that Melvin Patrick Ely was working on a new book. *Israel on the Appomattox* was brilliant and I am very much looking forward to this one.
