Just in case people haven't read this elsewhere (I posted it as [livejournal.com profile] vila_restal, but in a locked community) you can get compensation from LJ for its performance lately if you have a paid account; details are here. You can either get two free weeks added to your paid time, or two free months if you renew for 6 or 12 months. You have to do it before the 7 July though.

The annual international film festival starts here next week, and I've booked 10 films in three weeks. This is up on last year but I've been to as many as 17 in the past. I'm especially looking forward to the three Miyazaki films I haven't yet seen.

In the back of the festival catalogue is an advertisement for Stark's Bar which I've mentioned here before because both the name and logo fascinate me.

You'd swear by both that it was owned by a Farscape fan but it's named, as I suspected, for Freda Stark who was a famous dancer at the Civic Theatre (which the bar is right beside) and a gay icon. I'm not sure what the logo stands for, but for those who are interested in Freda, a fascinating woman with an equally intriguing life, here's a bit about her biography.

The topic for this week's [livejournal.com profile] b7friday challenge is 'Lost, stolen, or strayed'.

Life

Well, it was true he'd strayed from the straight and narrow--whatever that was--more than once. Got caught anyway which was more to the point. All those days and months and years forever lost in the juvenile detention wards, prison cells, that penal colony CF1. Wasn't fair, really. He'd only ever taken things from people: jewellery or art work from rich Alphas, stocks and bonds and cash from corporations and banks. Nothing any of 'em would really miss, nothing that'd hurt. But they'd stolen the rest of his life from him now.

"All right, Blake," Vila said. "I'm in."
