Breaking news--Julian Assange dragged from Equadorian Embassy by British police--
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2KvyKtVLr_M
What is the fine line between spying and journalism?
Trump may be implicated. Wikileaks says what Assange was saying was "UK must resist this attempt by the Trump administration to--"
Assange spent 7 years in Equadorian London Embassy.
Since 2012.
Will try and get updates for you.
Raw footage was from RT, Russian news.
Russia is upset.
Trump during campaign did say, "Wikileaks? I love Wikileaks." and maybe that was at same event when he said from the podium, "Russia, if you are listening-"
Plot thickens, stay tuned.

Posting problem--I've figured out what the problem is--
can't copy and paste from my original "post" from my email.
Which is just as well, as might contain some private comments.
So that's that.
Just wanted you to know this acct has not, to my knowledge, been hacked yet.
Thought you would like to know.

Major spat between Writers Guild of America and agents/agencies' conflict of interest.
https://www.latimes.com/business/hollywood/la-fi-ct-writers-guild-agencies-standoff-20190406-story.html
These 2 and other articles only address packaging for screenplays, TV productions
but I imagine it is major conflict of interest in books too.
My packager now calls himself a publisher--does not do packaging work any more. So far catalog not very large--but--
And I used to think finding an agent would solve my problems--well--
Now
it's best to join WGA. Think if GRR Martin did not get % for his own
intellectual property. Characters he created and lived with.
It's true as David Ng wrote that industry is changing very fast and so WRITERS need their rights protected.

Peter the Great TV series--3 parts.
Highly recommended.
Images in sequence, Peter the Great, wax image. portrait of Peter the Great given to England, Convent where his first wife Eudoxia held 20 years
All from Internet.
Each sequence is about 2 hours long. Google will take you from one to the next.
This is like the Game of Thrones.

Little known, a masterpiece in 13 pages--Pushkin's Mozart and Salieri
http://prosoidia.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/05/mozsal.pdf
Pushkin's verse play, inspired Peter Shaffer's Amadeus
which was made into the movie.
This is a particularly fine translation, though Pushkin might have written it in English.
Just amazing.

Well, too late now, but my text can't be copied and pasted--from my own files--
I was just commenting hoped designers got part of cosplay replica costumes,
good night.

good night.

Special, Game of Thrones costume analysis. Images from McQueen shows.
Replicas are sold on Cosplay and I do hope the
designer gets a percentage. I remember the back slit tops that my aunt
first invented in Rangoon and I popularized and then now everyone one
wears "one set" too (matching top and longyi) and no one even knows it
was I/we.
So now I never wear "one set" any more, wear pants. Like Daenarys I might need to flee.
At Penn police told us to wear shoes and clothes we could run in.
Thought it was one MIchele, but no, two.
Hard to imagine all the work required for 2?
costumes each per character, in Season 8 only one designer for Danny's
clothes, esp the to die for (fake) white coat.
Lady Catlyln Stark's dress is fine but a bit frumpy,
as if she has no time to have new clothes made, and could not care
less, and later she's a ghost come back from dead, so would hardly have
new clothes.
And last, I particularly like this comparison of Alexander McQueen styles and GoT's costumes.
I
always thought McQ "should not be making clothes" but costumes and fine
art, and now I know his background, I'm sure I am right, if only he had
lived.
I
also decided I am not a fool for collecting interesting things like
feathers, stones, bits of bark, blue green mussel shells and bones, wh
unfortunately I threw away--but I shld have made something.
Still thinking shld I throw away or keep yards of black about 6 " wide wh form a htet sint or top part of my old longyis (sarongs) wh have almost all been upcycled into vests and kimonos.
Bc there's a whole "keep the women subservient" part of Burmese culture that I dislike.
As in having to dry longyis in discreet places in shade, so of course they would smell funny.
Separate irons, washed separately. This was a constant source of dissension between me and the x.
I once went to an art gallery where the (women's) longyis were hanging on a the front balcony rails (in Chiangmai).
I
thought they were on display to sell, but the gallery owner said it was
her laundry, not an art display. She was married to a Burmese man.
So there you are.
I've
decided to keep the black cloth pieces, they each have a bit of color
from the longyi itself when I cut them off, and would make a good wall
hanging, like Elsworth Kelly.
And to be perverse, I will hang it right at the head of my own bed, why not? I can use it for anything.
Now I use threadbare cotton longyis to cover floor when I am painting.
