"Tell me five classes you took at university. . ."
- Calculus
- Film as Social and Intellectual History
- 19th/20th Century Art
- Indian Vocal Music: Theory and Practice
- Sanskrit
Never mind the jobs you had, tell me five classes you took at university.
Politics of International Relations (Brzezinski)
Civil War & Reconstruction (Foner)
Intro to World Cinema (Sarris)
Philosophy of Art (Danto)
Asian Humanities & Lit (de Bary)

After that, nothing intellectually intimidated me.
Never mind the jobs you had, tell me five classes you took in college

Sage, the Way, and Zen
Shakespeare
Religion and Modern Secularism
Creative Fiction Writing
International Political Economy

Pleasantly surprised how many of these classes proved useful later in life.

Just read: 'This Place Kills Me' by Mariko Tamaki and @nicolegoux.bsky.social, a gripping, well-crafted tale of the social torments of high school -- compounded by a tragic death that may be more than it seems.

@fanexpophilly.bsky.social just announced 'Lord of the Rings' cast members Elijah Wood, Sean Astin, Billy Boyd, and Dominic Monaghan for this spring's #FanExpoPhilly. This should be fun!

When Wood, Astin and Boyd appeared at the 2018 show they were riotously funny:

Rereading the 'Wild Palms' comics series by Bruce Wagner and Julian Allen. It's a swirling cacophony of conspiracies, drug-fueled insanity, and obscure movie references.

Don't be fooled by the somewhat snarky title. 'Dr. Werthless' by Harold Schechter and @eric-powell-comics.bsky.social from @darkhorse.com is a fascinating, well-researched, and nuanced account of the life of a complicated individual: comic book nemesis Fredric Wertham.

Mixed feelings about the M:I movies -- some I liked! Some I didn't! -- but I always enjoyed imagining Mr Schifrin getting another enormous check.

This set of books (with the one I gave to Lynch) sold for $3,900. I have to wonder: Was the note I sent to David Lynch included with the book?
