Watched an indie film Primer. It was done on a $7,000 budget which was spent mostly on film. It was supposedly a SciFi film. The science part was a bit sketchy which didn't help the fiction part all that much. Overall, the film came across as being clumsy--which might be expected for a first time film maker who wrote, directed, starred in, edited, composed/played music, and contributed to the design. It did return well at the box office and garnered a few awards--enough to help him work on a second film: Topiary that is in pre-production at this stage. Good luck to him and his extensive family and friends who helped him realize his first film.

Dreamed last night but all details slipped away at some time today. Read a lengthy chapter of Flaubert's Parrot to GH today. We've read almost all of the book. Perhaps we'll finish in two more sessions. It is quite an unusual novel--both in form and content.

PD dance and weight training sessions tomorrow! Looking forward to the moving and lifting. It was a long weekend. Time seems to go by more quickly when I am on the move. So, moving I shall go!
