sunfeather

I've really got fuck-all to say here, people. It's been kind of a slow week (what day is it anyway?) I have been:

- reading a bunch more quantum theory (Michel Bitbol's Mcanique quantique: Une introduction philosophique)
- preparing teaching for next year (Jean-Luc Godard, Jean Vigo, Ren Clair)
- listening to Irish-European indie: Snow Patrol, Archive

Here are last night's dream fragments:

- a soap-opera reunion between two men who may be brothers or lovers;
- a collection of black paintings disconcertingly concealed behind a locked closet door;
- Alfred Hitchcock with his head replaced by three successive globes: Jean-Luc Godard informs me that this is because, in the cinema, Hitchcock did everything three times before anyone else...

And here are the answers to the questionnaire I posted in Starr's journal today (and what about that set eh!! pink hair does it for me every time...)
