Much of today has been spent tidying up - I've cleared two boxes of "filed" papers-and-stuff down to less than one, and cleared a large swathe off my desk, vacuumed, corralled the 1970s books into something approaching alphabetical order by author, moved some CDs and DVDs, slotted some journals back and -
It's still a mess, but I have most of my desk back. I wandered down to Morrisons today to a) buy some butter, b) get rid of some glass and c) explore the bedroom-kitchen shop. I left with no camera, so I wasn't able to take a picture of the Darwin car badge - which I suspect is something to be found at
http://www.darwinuk.com/?gclid=CP6vz76XmZgCFUse3godDBEZmg - and I only remembered butter on my way out.
And now I've been looking for secondary materials on
The Man who Fell to Earth, which is decidedly thin (I know of two books on Roeg) and
And Chaos Died (oooh look, I have the manuscript of
On Joanna Russ, maybe there's something in that). I need access to a 1978 issue of
Literature/Film Quarterly - and the campus on the hill starts at 2003. Grrr. The one piece I do have is Fredric Jameson reviewing Gregg Press editions of filmed-books. Ah, but that issue has a piece on special effects which which will useful for Thursday's lecture.
