So this week was apparently the time for my semi-annual run-in with food mold and the inevitable aftereffects thereof. at least it happened on my day off. :/

In other news, Lothar-Günther Buchheim died.

Who? you may ask?

Buchheim was the author of several books about the German navy in World War II. His most famous, made into a miniseries for West German television in the early '80s, followed the crew of a submarine on what would turn out to be their last patrol. The miniseries was later re-cut and released theatrically, where it did rather well. I'm referring, of course, to Das Boot.

Turns out he was also a collector of Expressionist art (the type that the Nazis called "degenerate" and officially disdained, though various Party officials had secret stashes of it) and opened his own museum called "Museum of the Imagination" to display his collection.

THe things you learn about people after they're dead...
