A Small and Quiet Winter Screen

Risa Horowitz has been showing videos all night long in her studio window since New Years. This week she is running a 10 hour duel-screen cycle of "25 Short Films in and about Saskatchewan", an updated version of my 1999 super-8 project. Took a look after class today (brought a few grad students along). 

 

Paint

Feeling confident enough with my class tomorrow night that I let myself paint. It was a quick one and I did most of it while cookies were in the oven (oh, and I also did some baking). 

TV viewing last year

 At some point last summer, around when William and I finished the 1225 episodes of "Dark Shadows", I wrote down a list of the tv series that we had recently finished watching. After Dark Shadows, we went on to watch Better Call Saul and Breaking Bad. I found this list around New Years and began adding all the other shows that I watched at least one season of last year. Some of these, like those mentioned above, included multiple seasons but are listed only once in this list. Many ongoing series are listed here as we would have watched the newest season. Some shows only had a handful of episodes. I list them all equally. Most I enjoyed. A few were terrible and I don't know why I finished them. Incomplete seasons are not mentioned. This is 45 different show. I'm both in awe and disgusted with myself.

Reading with cat

 Reading screenplays and other stuff today. Cat getting very clingy. 

Art's Birthday

 Dunlop opening and artist talk today was in conflict with Art's Birthday event at Neutral Ground. Attended them both then William had a friend over to eat and play some Carcassonne (I lost). 

Margaret car trouble

I attended Wes's talk about Shakespeare festivals (with a large focus on Saskatoon's Shakespeare on the Saskatchewan) which was quite interesting. Some short descriptions of radical versions being performed in years gone by. Got home to find that Margaret had mishap with her car on the way to the staff conference this afternoon. 

 

Unwinding after class

 Starting to get into the rhythm of the term with teaching focused on Tuesday to Thursday. By the end, I'm pretty burned out. Thursday evening might become a regular painting night (or just vegging in front of the tv).
