Our Daily Dead

Today’s slice of daily life brings us a femme fatale and carillonneur today. A what and a what?

Someone playing the part of a femme fatale might be said to be a vicious schemer. Now there is a movie called Ffemme Fatale that is said to be a bit of a crazy ride. Of note (perhaps) is that Peter Coyote is in the movie as a U.S. Senator. Recall Steven, Peter and Drew had a wee hit with some sort of alien some years ago.

And then there is the Femme Fatale Fetish Center web site. ‘Nuff said likely. This No Place For A Woman site has some interesting reading on the femme fatale role and other female film noir roles too if you are interested.

And if you find yourself in Auckland wander over to the Femme Fatale please and get a report back to us. Consider it an assignment and remember your role.

We know (and certainly you do too) that a carillonneur is a person who plays the carillon. But what the heck is a carillon? The American Heritage site says a carillon is a “stationary set of chromatically tuned bells in a tower, usually played from a keyboard”. Thus James Angell in addition to his primary role also made the Stanford Bell Tower sing. We note that there is no mention in his obit about HOW he came into his role as carillonneur.
