Right, curry, curry. It turned out well, as mentioned, and had a rather pleasing aesthetic aspect of it as well, especially if you compare to the IKEA curry from last week. And I helped. I stirred. And stirred. And chopped. In other words, my terrible cooking (un)skills were not terrible enough to ruin 8 people's work. That's always something to be proud of. Gotta hold on to the little things...

Found this in the lounge. Is it Windsor, as in my Windsor? |
But the reading. The reading. After a couple of lines I felt insulted. Or rather, my intelligence felt insulted. Allow me to quote:
"Mise-en-scene [like setting, lighting, costume etc - my addition] usually involves some planning, but the filmmaker may be open to unplanned events as well."
"Viewers expect that female performers will wear lipstick and other cosmetics, but the male actors are often wearing make-up, too."
Now please allow me laugh, or snort, whichever is more appropriate. Gosh. This year will make me dumb (-er). Let's hope the discussion in class takes it up a level. I'll be honest here as well with one thing: this was the basic reading, and the other texts have shown a little more sophistication and suitability to our age.
Sunday offers a little more reading, some writing and a lot of Japanese learning. Sort of know all the Katakana characters, but need to be 100% sure of them and a few are sneaky little tricksies. To be continued...
