What else is there to do while waiting for an email, all alone in the house on a snowy March day?
Why, watch 'Franz Kafka's It's a Wonderful Life' again, naturally. I thought I'd share the link in case it hit the spot for you, too.
'Doctor Who' fans, take note: this award-winning (and hilarious) film won awards for its writer/director, the 12th Doctor, Mr Peter Capaldi. Which explains why BBC Scotland was involved in strange German Expressionism.
Somehow, I can envision The Doctor writing this. Poor Franz, imagining Gregor waking up as a banana, a kangaroo, etc,...could you hear Tom Baker narrating this? Or David Tennant? I could.
If you've seen it before, take a few minutes to watch it again. Ken Stott is wonderfully menacing as the knife sharpener with the pet cockroach, too. He pulls off those mood swings.

I'm sure my email will arrive soon, and I'll get back to work. But that was a refreshing imagination break.

What???? What????? 
Well friend, I'm glad you were waiting for your email on a snowy March day, , because I'd never heard of this brilliant little film, and now I've seen it my life is somehow upside down and inside out.
Superb. BBC Scotland??
The ending. What about the ending? With the singing Gregor bug.

Yes, I haven't got over it yet, 24 hrs later.
I don't think I'll ever get over it.
