What's your favourite part of the "historically accurate" Odyssey made by the scholar* Musk? The Eurovision mermaids. The oarsmen rowing sideways. The angel ordering Calypso to release Odysseus. Odysseus eating Pringles. The absolutely real island of Ogygia. The late 60s/70s quality of the movie.

Pensamientos de madrugada: durante mi visita en México, iré a los quinceaños de quien escuchará el inevitable "yo te conocí cuando estabas así" y haré un gesto que indicará la altura de esa pequeñez, porque, en efecto, la vi crecer.
