It's been weeks since i've posted anything. Did quite a few things, such as attended press screenings for New Directors/New Films, went to the dentist, went to the urologist, got a sonogram. It's been kind of exhausting, and i'm still trying to process everything. It's been almost five months since Larry died, it's been a month since the memorial, and i just miss Larry so much.

Just found out that Tony Pipolo died. He was sick for the last four months. It did take me so long to write my review of his book THE MELANCHOLY LENS: LOSS AND MOURNING IN THE AMERICAN AVANT-GARDE CINEMA for The Millennium Film Journal; i wanted to do it justice, because it really is one of the most perceptive books written about the avantgarde cinema. 

I'm feeling very lost and isolated. But what else is new?

Unfortunately, came down with a cold. And it's a doozy. So far, it's not Covid, since i certainly can taste and smell, but my nose is all clogged and i'm very achy. I'm probably going to take another nap! But i got some chicken broth and some bread (have sliced turkey for sandwiches). But yesterday, i did go to the Museum of Modern Art for the press preview of SIGNALS: HOW VIDEO TRANSFORMED THE WORLD, a very handsomely installed exhibition. And finally got to see the Meret Oppenheim exhibition, which was amazing. But now, i'm exhausted. And i had hoped that i'd be able to go in to see the Edward Hopper exhibition at the Whitney, but if i can't make it, that's how it crumbles, cookie-wise.
