Hazy, lazy day! Read some more of the novel about Rimbaud with GH. GH is really digging into Rimbaud's life and writing. He's giving himself a year to do research and develop a performance piece around the man and his poetry.

Watched an old Noel Coward movie (directed by David Lean) tonight: Brief Encounter. It is one of the first films where the sound (music, effects, ambient noise) was fully integrated into the action--almost becoming a character in its own right. The film came across as very natural. There was a lot of creative use of flashback and associated narration that never bogged things down. Film movement, back and forth, kept the overall action unfolding and telling the story. It was a surprisingly pleasing film and marked with good performances by the small cast.

PD dance and weight training tomorrow! Looking forward to moving and such.
