Jonathan Crary is my hero (and so is Johnny Holland and his awesome remixes)
I have this uncanny ability to make an ass of myself in class. I open my mouth and bullshit spills out. It's great. I can always count on humiliation in class. Today, in my mythic depths class, I attempted to relate Jonathan Crary's theory on the observer and vision in the 19th century and Jung's theory of the collective unconscious. In my brain it made sense and all, but when it started to come out of my mouth it all fell apart. At least I felt like it fell apart. Maybe I should stick to writing and making films.
After my verbal vomit session, I went to talk to my prof. about writing my final paper on Crary's book. He took the book and began to look at it. He kept flipping through it back and forth rapidly and I thought, how can you glean any information from the book by flipping through is so fast.
So I've obviously become obsessed with Crary's book. But I'm also obsessed with Johnny's remix of Kylie Minogue's song Lovin' You. He totally fixed the original demo and made it 'listenable'. I put it on repeat this morning on the way to school. It was a good thing, woke me up.
Scott is gone this weekend. I wanted to hang out with him but he up and went to New York, little bastard. So I'm going to work all weekend. Hopefully synch up my film and start the actual edit, painting on the film etc. I would like to just shut myself in 1307 and get a buttload of work done, but I have to go to my friend's house on Saturday.
Maybe I'll start updating more frequently again.
