I didn't take a pic but I also got a few tablespoons of chicken fat from the skim that I'm going to refine. It's really satisfying to turn kitchen scraps into food.

this girl Gloria who got into my local newspaper for seeing Titanic 50 times in Rome and who I have remembered since reading about her in 1998

Published March 14, 1998|Updated Sept. 12, 2005

A 12-year-old from Rome, identified only as Gloria, goes to the movies every day. Same time, same place, same movie: Titanic. So far, the girl has seen the hit film about 50 times, leading the pack of Italy's fervent Titanic fans. And she's still not tired of it. She even has cats named Jack and Rose. The young movie buff was discovered by the newspaper La Repubblica. "She comes to the 9 o'clock feature every night," said Giancarlo Malferrari, the owner of the only movie theater in Castelfranco Emilia, a town of 11,000 in central Italy. "And every weekend, she watches two shows in a row." Now the theater has started saving her favorite seat and even letting her in free. Neither he nor La Repubblica used the girl's last name, citing Italy's privacy law. Gloria told La Repubblica it isn't heartthrob Leonardo DiCaprio that attracts her, but the character he plays: Jack Dawson, a struggling artist who wins his passage on the Titanic in a poker game. "Jack is cuter than Leo," she said. "And it's for real; it's a true story. That's what makes it so beautiful." Gloria's mother, a cleaning woman who works at night, says she hasn't seen Titanic yet but she's not worried about her daughter's obsession. "She's not doing anything bad," she told the newspaper, adding that Gloria has to do her homework first every night.

Saw an injured Fighter on the street today. He was holding a sign - but it didn’t say “I need a potion of healing” or “I need a short rest”, instead it said “I need a fat dragon”. What did he mean by this?

Just gonna make this a general ask:

Bluesky: I am looking for fun books by francophone authors (from anywhere in the world) - that are preferably some intersection of queer, cozy, and/or F/SF.

Not looking for serious horror, heavy lit fic, or straight romance.

Boost for reach if possible.

Dana Fried @leftoblique.bsky.social · 2d

I've decided that if there isn't a ton of fun lit in French I wanna read, I'll just read things I would have bought anyway, in translation.

That said, I'm very open to suggestions for good French-language (and especially French Canadian) queer, cozy, and/or F/SF books.

In 2004, Parisian police were conducting a training exercise in the french catacombs and found, after moving past a desk and a tape playing audio of snarling dogs, a fully functional movie theater and bar. When they returned 3 days later, the equipment was gone, with a note: “Do not try to find us.”

Members of the force's sports squad, responsible
- among other tasks - for policing the 170 miles of tunnels, caves, galleries and catacombs that underlie large parts of Paris, stumbled on the complex while on a training exercise beneath the Palais de Chaillot, across the Seine from the Eiffel Tower.
After entering the network through a drain next to the Trocadero, the officers came across a tarpaulin marked: Building site, No access.
Behind that, a tunnel held a desk and a closed-circuit TV camera set to automatically record images of anyone passing. The mechanism also triggered a tape of dogs barking, "clearly designed to frighten people off," the spokesman said.
Further along, the tunnel opened into a vast 400 sq metre cave some 18m underground, "like an underground amphitheatre, with terraces cut into the rock and chairs".

There the police found a full-sized cinema screen, projection equipment, and tapes of a wide variety of films, including 1950s film noir classics and more recent thrillers. None of the films were banned or even offensive, the spokesman said.
A smaller cave next door had been turned into an informal restaurant and bar. "There were bottles of whisky and other spirits behind a bar, tables and chairs, a pressure-cooker for making couscous," the spokesman said.
"The whole thing ran off a professionally installed electricity system and there were at least three phone lines down there."
Three days later, when the police returned accompanied by experts from the French electricity board to see where the power was coming from, the phone and electricity lines had been cut and a note was lying in the middle of the floor: "Do not," it said, "try to find us."
