Changes since last post
1.) Have returned to the city. Dealing with renewed humidity and temperatures 15 degrees higher than upstate.
2.) Have finished Robert Grudin's "Book" (1992) (review forthcoming I hope) and begun Don DeLillo's "White Noise." An overdue read, considering its reputation and foremost slot on Postmodernism 101 syllabi.
3.) Have watched "The Wizard of Oz" as synchronized with Pink Floyd's "Dark Side of the Moon." The similarities are striking indeed - my favorite is that the register-chimes and coin-clinks coincide with Dorothy's emergence into the newly Technicolored world of Munchkin-Land and Oz. Unfortunately the similarities don't last beyond the first spin of the album, which being only 40 some odd minutes long must be played 2.5 times to cover the film's running time.
4.) Have flipped the mattress on the futon.
5.) Have seen for the first time "Kill Bill Vol. 1" and loved it. Singlehandedly it reaffirms Guy DeBord's "Society of the Spectacle" and Linda Williams's "Film Bodies" as viable, even crucial texts to teach freshmen comp students.
6.) Have arranged on an ocean blue bookshelf those works of poetry and fiction which I would do best to study, emulate, and surpass.
7.) Have fleetingly believed that some sort of livable life is taking shape, here, in this credible place.
