Movement class felt good today. I awoke late, went to class, and went out to grab something to eat. Came back a bit logy and may have napped some.

Dreamed last night that I was telling someone about the free Starbucks coffee deal that was put online as a social media experiment. The person I was telling the details to was having problems hearing me. I kept saying things louder and louder. At some point, I realized I was sitting up in bed and yelling the details out loud. I'm sure my neighbors appreciated the information. I shut down the dream and went back to sleep.

I watched another Tarr film--Damnation. For some reason, this film did not click with me. I found myself getting upset with what was happening on the screen (or not happening as the case may be). Somehow, the movie made me feel that I had to struggle to understand what was being shown. It was almost as if the film was too structured in some way--not as organic as Satantango.

I did a little research and found the director that influenced Tarr in some ways--Miklos Jancso. Jancso has directed nearly 80 films but there's not much in the library on DVD. He was born in 1921 and is still doing films. That would make him 90 years old and still directing! Way to go Jancso! I'll pick up the one film that is on DVD (Red and White) and check it out.

No PD weight training tomorrow! Start of a long weekend. Bumped into Shawn Bek who did some chiropractic work on me when I was first diagnosed with PD. He hasn't changed a bit. Still looks like a 16 year old kid! Good for him! His practice is going well!
