The Sandman

[changeling67]

I came in to listen to a lecture on scriptwriting today and later sat in on a different lecture - FdA English Year 1s, who appear to be a LOT more switched on than our class ever was.  Also, my former lecturer from Access was lecturing, so it was nice to see her again.  She was very helpful too, as it was reiterating Psychoanalytical Theory - especially Freud's essay on 'The Uncanny.'  She used a disturbing stopfilm animation called 'The Sandman' to underline the fears of things sensed rather than things rationalised.

Alas, the Youtube member who has the film has disabled the embedding code, so I have supplied the link to the film either by tapping on the picture above, or this LINK

Oh and good luck sleeping tonight mwahahahaha!

I appreciate good literature more than I used to and actually, it is good to see the thinking of the time. The history/psychology of the time is fascinating. Saying that, sometimes I yearn for crappy chic lit.

I have 48 days left til the end of this academic year. Haven't got the courage of my convictions at the moment, as Hubby is due in for his next op this Wednesday. Gonna have to bury my head deep :-/
