monday wrap-up

i live with my younger brother and he totally destroyed my vcr, which i've owned since 1998. he was trying to play some old high-school video and now the vcr won't play, rewind or perform any of its rudimentary functions. my brother says it's "obsolete" technology, but fuck that—how am i supposed to watch my vhs archives without a fucking vcr!
i note this turn of events because i wanted to write a series on rohmer's moral tales, one through six, beginning with the girl at the monceau bakery, but until i get a new vcr this is not going to happen. you can rent the dvd on netflix and i highly recommend it; it's a 16mm short, maybe 20 minutes, about the folly of attraction and desire.
there was a party at trapeze school saturday in sf and it was good times. this is not to say i'm a circus dude, but i'm definitely partial to flying through the air and hanging off bars by my knees. give it a try if you get the chance.
i was this close to getting lacan and contemporary film at city lights. it was co-edited by todd mcgowan, a professor who now teaches in vermont, but whose course i took in la when i was in film school. i'm regretting the non-purchase already and would like to learn more about film theory, lacan and feminism.
i did laundry sunday night and missed kabinet and l'enfant.
i'm interviewing a couple bands this week and some other shit but should be able to keep posting throughout the week. i began a new job on may 4, which is why no posts for the last month or so. i'll be easing back into things and now am committed to my FFT duties.
