Loss on a Day of Excess
Sadly, in one day, Harold Pinter AND Eartha Kitt (and one wonders about how the balance of the cosmos required both of them at once) died.
I had the pleasure of seeing Eartha Kitt perfom at the Cafe Carlyle about ten years ago and still have this absolute memory of her slinking around the place, seeming quite ageless, almost supernatural. It is worth reading her obituary to see what kind of a life she had before she became the cat-like creature that certainly had me fascinated even as a child, watching her as Catwoman on television.
And Pinter, too, has been in my mind for so long. I've seen his plays, his performances in movies, watched films based on his screenplays... read accounts of his anger that it is hard to imagine he won't be venting his spleen or prodding people to read what's happening in between the sentences they speak and hear.

Also, two days before the first anniversary of Benazir Bhutto's assassination. Maybe December is the cruelest month.
