The Science of Sleep

Michel Gondry is rumoured to be a pain in the ass to work for. Maybe it is because he is one of the few people who can wrangle big budget movies and movie stars into doing things in non-budget friendly experimental ways. The music is soft coffee-drinking music
  • I believe the US release date is September 22, though I have also seen the date of the 18th thrown around. (This may pertain specifically to the soundtrack.) You can buy me the soundtrack if you want.

    Reading:

    I was in St. Mark's books and saw two interesting books:

    The Rise and Fall of the Self and Soul
    The Artist and the Mathematician

    They were hardcover and expensive, so I clicked on the "I guess I'll buy this later with imaginary money and put them in my imaginary cart" button.

    I saw Litte Miss Sunshine with Nameer. Everyone should see that movie. I wasn't expecting too much, so maybe that allowed me to avoid disappointment (something my mom says is usually a huge problem for me), but the writing, acting, and direction were well done and I recommend it to anyone who is seeking original reasons for laughing.

    Also, if anyone wants to lend me some Bill Evans or Bartok, or knows how to install a belt on a turn table, then as Bob Hope says "Come on down."
