A search for 286 in this journal yields "Yet Another Cartoon Graveyard."

That June 1, 2008, post linked to poem  286 in a 1919 anthology.

Here is that poem, together with poem 823.

Together, these poems may be regarded as a meditation on
Simone Weil and her brother André Weil or, 
more abstractly, on Love and Death.

Happy birthday to Al Pacino.

The "531" linked to in the Sept. 21, 2008, post above is a mini-drama ending at midnight on 5/31, 2008— the conclusion of Mental Health Month.

Erika Marozsán, Hungarian actress, 38.

Marozsán starred in "Gloomy Sunday—A Song of Love and Death" (A German/Hungarian film from 1999).

Wikipedia informs us that this "is inaccurately claimed to be the world's longest running film."

Whether Marozsán is a Quaternionist, I do not know.

Monday, Dec. 29, 2008, was St. Thomas Becket’s Day.

On that day in this journal there was a note from the New York Times on the screenwriter of the 1969 film  “A Walk With Love and Death”–

“He feuded with… John Huston, who gave the lead female role in ‘Walk’ to his teenage daughter… against Mr. Wasserman’s wishes.”

Liz Evett

WEST RICHLAND, Wash. (AP) – Liz Evett, a teen who inspired people across the nation by creating a “bucket list” of things she wanted to do before she died, has died. She was 18.

Her mother, Angie Ivey, said Evett died Monday [Dec. 29, 2008] of leukemia. The West Richland teen was diagnosed with cancer nearly three years ago and relapsed in April.

When she stopped responding to treatment in June, Evett created a “bucket list” of things she wanted to do before dying and spent the last six months crossing them off.

Her list included feeding giraffes, meeting Seattle Mariner Ichiro Suzuki and graduating from high school.
