Hyperactive
It’s a rare non-micro post! Though the text content is still going to be pretty skimpy.
Yesterday’s burbling in video form. As usual my lecturing style is frantic and slapdash and I mostly sound like the coked up techbros from the cocktail party example.
Also as usual, this is unlisted, available only to the actual students on Moodle and the non-existent readers of this blog. I hope you feel suitably privileged.
Repertory
Floundered through Visual Perception again. Seems like only two years ago I was blogging it chapter by chapter — a serialisation that remains unfinished, overtaken by events.
I think it went okay but it’s hard to tell. The students seem less responsive than they used to, maybe I’m atrophying. But two hours is a long haul for everyone.
Damn Fine
Decided actually to do the Twin Peaks thing, but with a very long run up. Several eps into season 1, and it’s still great, awkward longueurs, wonky soap aesthetics and all. Maybe I’ll lose enthusiasm as we plod into the latter stages of S2, but so far I’m very happy with this course of action.
Cherry Pie
Funny which ones hit you. Lynch not quite Bowie, but this feels ominously like 2016.
I should really take another run at Twin Peaks: The Return.
