Slept from around eleven to seven. Woke briefly around five.
We didn't end up getting more than a spotty dusting of snow last night. Mostly cloudy today, with a high of forty-two.
Ed, Scott, and Steve came over to play D&D last night. Karina planned to come, but had to bail at the last minute.

> In 1931 Weimar Germany, the public was on the verge of hysteria over a series of gruesome murder cases. Though M may now seem almost a parable, at the time it was seen as a “ripped from the headlines” drama.
> There is one motif used in this case that seems to illustrate particularly well how fantastic real events have become: the idea that the criminal caste, Berlin’s underworld, would take to the streets on its own initiative to seek out the unknown murderer, so as to evade greater police activity, is taken from a factual newspaper report and seemed to me such compelling cinematic material that I lived in constant fear that someone else would exploit this idea before me.
