Alphaville... Was like what people say French art films are like. I want to like it, because I don't think anyone else would. But even for me, there was some stuff that was hard to embrace. The onset of the climax is odd. Suddenly everyone except the protagonist seems to have gone blind, and is groping the walls. It took me a few minutes to figure out what was supposed to have precipitated this event. ...Even so, there *were* some pretty neat bits. [It's just kinda hard to point to what they are.]
Today was the summer solstice, so Scarlet Star Studios put out the labyrinth in the driveway, and welcomed the community to give it a try. We even had photocopied handouts, explaining the event. Not very surprisingly, no one took the walk. Surprisingly, however, the cars that drove by didn't even look at the labyrinth -- they gawked at the house being built across the street instead. Silly people: you're missing magic!
Even so, I'm glad we got the labyrinth out. G wants to do this on the solstices and the equinoxes, which I think is just grand. It appeals to the part of me that's wiccanish. I'm also happy that it's getting use on a regular schedule.
We got out our camping chairs and sat in the front yard. It was lovely just to have some "nothing time" together.
G had "creative job club" today. The take-home insight of the day (as I understand it) has to do with reworking the nomenclature of "sacred circle" vs. "creative cluster". More on that to follow, I presume.
Tomorrow I'm going to do library research at Reed. G & I will go for a bike ride in the morning. And I have to do my part to get the studio in spiff condition before Thursday, when we'll host the "open studio" collage night.
Oh, one more thing. Niece Z dressed up as Emperor Palpatine for Halloween (?). At my bro's behest, I took a little time this afternoon to add lightning bolts to her finger tips in the digital photo. That's what an older brother's good for, right?
7/18 Correction: "it wasn't Halloween (she was the Grim Reaper last Halloween), it was just something to do on a summer day."
[Guh. I've soooo got to figure out what I'm doing about online photo storage these days. I really ought to just put the picture up on the blog...]
