HAPPY BIRTHDAY ANDREW FETTERLY WILKES-KRIER

Monica and I recently had the first in what is hopefully a series of many parties celebrating the life and times of people that i do not know.

This party was to celebrate the may 9th birthday of ANDREW W.K.

I'd say it was pretty successful.

I am extremely happy about these things

lots and lots of simon and garfunkel.

a script that i am genuinely excited to make into a film.

the sun.

lazy weekends.


this has been a really hard semester. we'll see where i land come summertime (which i have never wanted more in my life!)

////////////////////

here are some new york times articles that i want to remember to read or reread. maybe you will enjoy them as well.

Is PBS Still Necessary?
the interest (and funding) in public television is sharply declining, while the audience for the supposedly outdated radio format is on the rise.

Man, Godard and Nature (and Bardot, too)
Godard's Contempt turns 45 this year. Excellent article about initial reactions to the film as well as why it is still so relevant.

Steiner and Lenzlinger

The Doge (Mocenigo) needed a church so as to be able to have a monumental tomb built for himself, the church (San Staë) needed a saint so as to be able to be built, the saint (San Eustachio) needed a miracle so as to be pronounced a saint, the miracle needed a stag in order to be seen, and we built the garden for the reindeer.
The visitors lie on the bed above the doge’s gravestone, and the garden thinks for them.

this makes me feel good.
