And that’s it for this notebook until Monday. The outline is filed, the newsletter is nearly there, but I want to finish two scripts over the next three days so I have a clean deck to start the week on. And I have some eyestrain, so I need to use my eyes where they’re needed most before they pack up.
ON DECK: right this second, I’m putting the last touches on Sunday’s newsletter, then settling in for the long haul.
INBOX: 97.
LISTENING: The label describes the style of the following as: “Folk horror post-rock ragas? Sigur Ros scoring Blood on Satan’s Claw? Popol Vuh for the end of the world? ”
READING: That book on Beckett
LAST WATCHED: a bit of BABYLON.
ALIVE: 8hrs 1min. 86% readiness. My resting heart rate has definitely crept up over the last couple of years: a steady 73 now, when it used to be in the 60s. So that’s a thing to start working on, too.
OUTSIDE: “Toward A New Blockbuster? On Nolan’s “Oppenheimer””
