Post midweek dissection
09.16.2004Showed The Fog of War to my students today; we discuss the film on Tuesday. It's the third time I've seen it, and I keep catching things I missed the first time. I constantly walk away w/ a slightly different interpretation — and an appreciation for the subject's humanity. I guess that’s why it's a good documentary (and not Moore-esque agit-doc).
Meanwhile, I've postponed painting my apartment, limiting it to Saturdays-only work. I really need to just get my rooms organized so I don't go insane looking at a constant mess. It's sad I fell behind on the work when I had non-work time. But, to be fair, other things did come up. It wasn't all procrastination & laziness.
Point is, I'm finally getting to a semblance of a "normal" schedule.
More importantly: I need furniture. W/ Retro closed (sigh), finding great retro Scandinavian furniture is a tougher job. So if you know of a great two-person couch w/ minimalist lines, do let me know about it. Though I think I finally figured out the schedule for the rarely-open Attic Treasures on Westnedege. I'm about to head out there.
Progress on the dissertation front. Slow, but steady. I've decided to wrap up the short introduction (5-6 pages) before moving on to a chapter-by-chapter outline. I'll work on that a bit more after a late lunch at home, but before the tonight’s poker.
More importantly, tonight I finish organizing my books by LOC catalog number. I'm gonna write the call number on the front cover page of each book in pencil.

Wouldn't it be better to organize books by alphabetical order? N.

Oh, no. LOC is a much better system than simply alphabetizing. It combines an alphabetized system w/ a subject-oriented one.
