the box of souls

as much as i'd like to stay up all night to finish luna, i'll need to get some sleep for my two general meetings tomorrow night. i've got work to do thursday as well, and most of the day saturday. maybe i can take next tuesday off. hopefully, we can start planning the real election on saturday afternoon, and get a committee arranged. i also wish we knew when the election would be called, but i'm also looking forward to the urgency of a surprise campaign.

we didn't like sin city, but i can't quite articulate why. it was undoubtedly a formalist experiment, but it was in a style that i had no interest in whatsoever. the film felt heartless, i guess, very hollow. someone else's line was that 'i'd never felt so bored by an action movie, ever', and i'd have to agree. all glamour without any sense, lots of style, certainly. it's not a style that i particularily care, for, though, and the lack of anything but style left me cold and uninterested.

it's too early in the semester for me to get anxious about not having enough time to read novels, but i'm getting there already. i want to read don delillo's underworld again, and atlas shrugged, too.

this is the background that i put on jan's computer. she thinks that it's ugly, but i love the guy's expression.
