A Night at the Movies

Got my pop culture fill last night as I went to see the new Michael Cera movie, Nick and Norah's Infinite Playlist. Flashbacks of high school ensued.

On October 30th I will be going to see David Byrne play with Brian Eno, two of my favourite "New Wave" musicians. They are playing at Metropolis on Ste-Catherine. Remain in Light and My Life in the Bush of Ghosts have recently become important albums for me.

I'll be wrapping up Ulysses today. Molly Bloom's soliloquy takes up the last 50 or so pages of the book, and contains a mere 8 sentences that explore her inner thought processes. I wonder if Samuel Beckett, who was a big fan of Joyce, used it as an inspiration for this.

I have some time off from my flyer job, and plan to enjoy the long weeked. My uncle will be coming from Ottawa to visit me tomorrow. I've even got Thanksgiving dinner covered on Monday.
