Visualization and Representation

Now we're talking! Back in business and baby that's how I like it!
Unnecessarily necessary blog energy just kicked in.
So I'm back. You're back. We are all back. But before we get into all that is new in the life let's give summer a nice little wrap up.
Goodbye Regal, goodbye house, goodbye sleeping in, goodbye wasting time, goodbye HangoutCity.
In case anyone had forgotten or not know.....I WON AT MONOPOLY. It was either the best worst idea, of something to do at 11pm, or the worst best idea. But I still won. And I think it was all thanks to Paul Revere aka the guy riding the horse AKA the greatest token in Boardgame history. This may be the only thing that gets commented on but oh well. I still won.
Summer is gone though. So lets move ahead. Im in a new building this year. The room is bigger, the halls are calmer, the view is very cool, and its a definite upgrade......
Photographic evidence to support my claims!

OooooOOoo

The VIEW!


Ok. As for my classes, I satisfied with them. Which I suppose at this level is the best you are going to get. By this level I mean GE classes and random major-required classes (a la Language of Poetry.) And British Literature 1. We've only had two sessions. And its been about about the Beowulf. I might be shot for saying this or frowned upon by the Literary Gods/snobs, but I have to say I am all about the Contemporary. I had the same problem with Dickens. Of course I recognize the impacts and groundwork laid by these classics(except that you could argue that I do not because I do not enjoy reading them/take on a full and loving comprehension) but I think I can safely blame my enjoyment of movies and the fast(er) pace of books from this century.
But it doesn't change the fact that I have 1000 lines of Beowulf to still read.
As for my personal reading, I am almost halfway through Cities of the Plain. Another McCarthy classic! I need to finish it soon so I took can start/finish the Road before the cinematic adaptation premieres. Speaking of that, the first reviews are in! The movie has already been shown at the Venice film festival and has a few more film festival appearances coming up. This is where the buzz picks up again. Good or bad. But so far its been good. One thing that is a challenge for the film is that the book left a lot of things for the reader to imagine. The whole Visualizing Thought process. But the whole purpose of the film to to provide that image.
In the end I know I'm going to like the movie. And most likely the movie will enhance my opinion about the book.
Well it's good to see September kicking us into gear and getting the blog's blood pumping.
Welcome back and welcome forward!
