Leaving Febraury 9

I started the day feeling like trash. Showed up late to work. Managed to finish most of the prep that needed to be done. After that I had a nice little rest. You know where you close your eyes for a little while, but don't actually fall asleep. Almost but not quite. I love those. Cruel Math practice was pretty sweet, we actually practiced all five of our songs. After that I was back home and I worked on the blog. I made a Thriftbooks order: A Scourge of Screamers by Daniel F. Galouye which was my Free Book reward, and Rebel by Albert Camus. I thought I had a copy of Rebel, and I probably did, but I got rid of it before reading... or maybe I read it and I just don't remember. Hit up Anna's Archive for a couple other Galouye novels on pdf. I went and had a "Happy Meal" at Gwarbar for last call and now I am back home. I'm gonna make myself a PB&J (Blackberry) and I have Le Corbeau cued up. (Directed by Henri-Georges Clouzot • 1943 • France )

Made during the Nazi Occupation of France, Henri-Georges Clouzot’s LE CORBEAU was attacked by the right-wing Vichy regime, the left-wing Resistance press, and the Catholic Church, and it was banned after the Liberation. But some—including Jean Cocteau and Jean-Paul Sartre—recognized the powerful subtext to Clouzot’s anti-informant, anti-Gestapo fable, and worked to rehabilitate Clouzot’s directorial reputation after the war. LE CORBEAU brilliantly captures a spirit of paranoid pettiness and self-loathing turning an occupied French town into a twentieth-century Salem.
