(no subject)

Woolgathering a minute or so ago, I realized I'd reversed the classic Julius Caesar line about 'the evil that men do lives after them/ The good is oft interred with their bones'. But I could swear there's a quote, not necessarily Shakespeare, more or less to the effect of 'let the evil he did be buried with him and let us remember only the good.' That thought if (certainly) not those words. Can't pin it down more precisely. Does that ring a bell with anyone?

Ah, brave new world

This year I know, as last year I did not, that today is the Glorious 25th of May, a fannish trifecta:

• Pratchett's Wear the Lilac Day from Night Watch

• Douglas Adams Memorial Towel Day

• Anniversary of the first release of the first Star Wars film

This year I actually belong to one of those fandoms. The closed country of my fannish world gradually opens up to the long-nosed barbarians.
