Timer on! Not really, but I AM racing a little faster than normal. Next, I’m going to try dictating to Siri for the text. I thought about leaving in Siri’s mistakes, just to make it more open to synchronistic interventions. Whatever, however, I am serious about the speed-posting. Got to got to got to.

The song choice is seasonal. What better band to play on the boardwalk than The Beach Boys? Great summer toon, a mess of psychedelia masquerading as a pop song. It’s especially appropriate now that all of Europe is essentially shut down for holidays. Can’t even get a haircut!

And then, Dusty Springfield. Now, there was a real diva, in as much as she wasn’t diva-esque at all, but she genuinely had all the goods. Some of these modern divas are just pale, painful shades of the real things. And Casino Royale: Peter Sellers, Ursula Andress, David Niven, Woody Allen, Joanna Pettet, William Holden, Daliah Lavi, Deborah Kerr & Orson Welles. Dang. . . and ouch to think I’ve never seen it.

Ding ding. Speed-post done.
