Commentary
Sunday, September 15, 2019
The fall season in on us: busy and productive.
First reports from close friends are running positive.
Both college-aged have full schedules.
In addition, both are in the hunt for jobs, one a career step, the other, an investigation, perhaps leading to an internship.
Friend in court for adoption has had an important moment go entirely in her favor.
Friend with a health issue has overcome a setback and is back on track for a full recovery, on track meaning back at work.
A close friend is putting his loss behind him.
And I get ever-closer to producing videos in a methodological, rhythmic way.
Good stuff.
May this season end with the same positive notes on which it has begun.

How many dogs does it take to change a light bulb?
Boxer: Who cares? I can still play with my squeaky toys in the dark.
Lab: Oh, me, me!!!!! Pleeeeeeeeeze let me change the light bulb! Can I? Can I? Huh? Huh? Huh? Can I? Pleeeeeeeeeze, please, please, please!
German Shepherd: I'll change it as soon as I lead these people from the dark, check to make sure I don't miss any, and make just one more perimeter patrol to see that no one takes advantage of the situation.
Jack Russell Terrier: I'll just pop it in while I'm bouncing off the walls and furniture.

This from Kali L supplementing Sally C’s remarks on the now-passed benefits of touch as therapy:
I have a doctor that spends hours with me and hugs me hello and goodbye
Our humanity needs touch
I’ve thought to myself countless times when I go to acupuncture that I’m paying someone to lessen my burdens and to remember I’m alive and human/ to be touched even if my back is a map of needles
The loneliness can be so unbearable
Oh world
Web Meister responds: Oh, yes!

A promotional flyer for Lagu Kenangan ('Song of Memories'), a 1953 Indonesian film directed by L. Inata and produced by Djamaluddin Malik for the Persari Film Corporation.
Starring Titien Sumarni and A. N. Alcaff, the film tells the story of a composer, Supardi, who lives with his wife, Surjati, and their two children Janti and Janto.
The couple often fight, owing to Supardi's late hours, as he does his best work at night when the children are sleeping.
Things escalate to the point that Surjati takes Janti and leaves.
This separation nearly ends in divorce, but eventually with the support of their parents, Surjati and Supardi are able to reconcile.
The film was one in a long line of commercially oriented ventures which had been produced by the Persari Film Corporation, starting with Sedap Malam in 1950.
Sedap Malam (Indonesian for Sweetness of the Night) is a 1951 film directed by Ratna Asmara and produced by Djamaluddin Malik for Persari.
Starring Sukarsih and M. Pandji Anom, it follows a woman who descends into prostitution after her husband marries another woman.
It was both Persari's first production and the first film directed by a woman in Indonesian history.
