Week 3: Round Table

  • I’ve been shaking off a mild autumn cold for most of the week.
  • We have a new table at home: it’s round. It has no sides or fronts, so all those who sit around it are equal.
  • Went to see One Battle After Another and I have to say that I was quite pleased with the ticking jazz soundtrack and over-the-top villains. What really worked for me was the pace and editing, it somehow got the energy of Thomas Pynchon novel. It just kept going and going, almost three hours of decent filmmaking surprises. I wonder how much it’s perceived as a political film in the US. For me it was more of a personal epic, but for a Hollywood film it maybe reached the limits of both.
  • Our short Saturday walk led up the hills past an abandoned ski lift and slope. Even at 400 meters above sea level, there used to be a lot of snow.
  • I’ve collected a bunch of barcodes and QR codes from various packages and tickets. Now I’m doing some kind of collage out of that!
  • Only one run again (9K).
  • Thanks, bye
