“About Who”
Loki Season 2, Episode 5, minus spoilers . . .
"… then he learns to control his time slipping.
It's not about where, when, or why. It's about who."
Midrash for fans of narrative . . .
Sometimes tattoos are more useful than Post-It notes.

Code Bleu
From The New York Times on May 5, 2011 —
"… What Paris says to me is love story, awash with painters,
shots of the Seine, Champagne. Thank God I have a
can’t-miss notion to sell you. I call it ‘Midnight in Paris.’ ”
“Romantic title,” I had to admit. “Is there a script?”
“Actually, there’s nothing on paper yet, but I can spitball
the main points,” he said, slipping on his tap shoes.
“Maybe some other time,” I said, mindful of Cubbage’s
unbroken string of theatrical Hiroshimas.
— Woody Allen
The above passage is in memory of a French film director
who, like the reporter in yesterday's post Primary Colors,
reportedly died on April 21, 2022.
