This week’s gonna be brutal. There’s lectures; research project meetings; preparations for my university’s participation in Düsseldorf’s Nacht der Museen where, among other things, our game design students present their work; and the event itself on Saturday 7pm–1am CEST. Then there’s a Fantasy Writers’ Week online workshop Monday through Friday 4pm–1am CEST that I plan to attend (I don’t write fantasy, but I’m always interested in genre conventions, techniques, tools, and developments); an opera ticket I already bought last year; and two movies I want to watch. All that I have to wrap, for good measure, into Passover week, and also squeeze in somehow my daily runs and workouts, some of which I’ll have to schedule way after midnight. Yes, this will be fun.
Now, while I still have no access to Instagram or Facebook for the reasons I wrote about two weeks ago, things might change soon—unsurprisingly, the EU took issue with Meta’s mob tactics. We’ll see what comes out of it. In the meantime, I published my first two Penang Island albums over at Flickr, Drive-by Snaps (19 snaps + 2 effect edits) and 8 shots from the Shuttered Hotel Equatorial with its rented-out office spaces. Also, there’s my ongoing Düsseldorf bucket and my daily vintage travel squaries at Pixelfed. At Mastodon, moreover, you can find my micro-reviews for the events I attended last week: Nolan’s Memento; Miyazaki’s となりのトトロ (aka My Neighbor Totoro); Brahms first piano concerto at Tonhalle Düsseldorf; and the notabu ensemble’s Neue Musik concert.
This week, if you’re around, you can meet me at the opera (Mascagni and Pagliacci); at the movie theater for 千と千尋の神隠し aka Spirited Away and perhaps Alien (not altogether clear yet if they can show it); and, of course, at the »Nacht der Museen« and the Fantasy online workshop, as mentioned above.
For the Sunday funnies, here’s the second part of Elle Cordova’s Fonts Hanging Out series; a smol train clip featuring cats; and a fabulous cat story where all the little cats get what they deserve in the end.
Enjoy!
