Cooled down a lot today! Felt good! Did a resistance training class in good form. Strength coming back after short hiatus. Felt tired in afternoon but green tea latte helped weather the drowsiness period.

Dreamed last night a very detailed dream about several guys from the men's team. We were at a seaside resort, at a very fancy hotel. We were there to meet regarding an education project. It just so happened that the place was filled with kids. In fact, there was some confusion about our accommodations because of the overcrowding. We finally settled things with concierge. We ended up with a large meeting room with associated sleeping units. We settled in and started to enjoy the beach. There was some confusion regarding who was paying for what, but that too got settled.

Watched a long movie tonight--Jeanne Dielman. It's sort of a experimental piece but done with meticulous attention. The story is about a widowed woman who is living with her son. She dotes on him and is obsessive/compulsive in her actions. The film follows her routine-driven activities for three days. The slowness of the unfolding of her days is mesmerizing and difficult to experience. The three+ hours of the film begins to feel like someone scratching on a sheet of metal with their fingernails. There are long, extended takes that made me either laugh or want to scream. There is an unraveling that pervades the entire film leading up to an ominous conclusion (or so it was for me). I'll have more to say about this film after I go through some of the special features that appear on the DVDs. I'll probably dream about it tonight as well!
