Morning all

Stayed out at a party last night until 3AM. It's many years since that happened. We ended up in the host's front room watching some film which consisted of landscape shots with a Philip Glass soundtrack. It was quite different to anything I'd seen before.

Especially if you weren't sober.

There used to be a freesat channel that showed stuff like that.

It's not there any more.

Afternoon all

Well there's one house roughly vacced.

Sunday Dinner was roast beef this week, being the final lump of the beef I purchased 5 weeks ago.

It was very nice.

For sweet I had the remains of the tin of peaches (BBE 10/14) that I opened yesterday evening when I was afflicted with the munchies, with a reasonable dollop of custard.

We really know how to push the boat out at Chez Zeit.

I notice with interest that there are further tins of sliced peaches, pears and other fruity comestibles that bear equally ancient BBE dates.

I suppose I'll have to consume them.

Heavy night last night?

Afternoon denizens

Cold out again, but sunny at the moment

It was rather pleasant once the stress of getting there wore off.

Curiously, Ifeel rather poorer now, having donated £100 to ZeitNephew and £300 to ZeitNeice (who I see much more infrequently).

One of my favourite films

Unless you saw the sequel, Powaqqatsi - also one of my favourites

And there's a third one to make up the trilogy, Naqoyqatsi, which I haven't yet seen, though I got the DVD a little while ago - I'm saving it for a rainy day.

My ringtone is a bit of the music from the Pruitt–Igoe sequence (the demolitions) - though it seems the provision of Philip Glass ringtones for the mass market for is as yet relatively undeveloped, so I had to make it myself from a rip of the CD. (Possible Plan B if I can get the rights?)

Evidence of how much I like the film: I have it on both DVD and Blu-ray, and I have the original soundtrack album on vinyl and the longer, more complete version later released on CD.

Glass occasionally conducts an orchestra playing along to a showing of the film. I'd love to go to one of those.

EDIT: Just discovered there's a recording of Koyaanisqatsi live with the NY Philharmonic. Another one to buy

Gone five, and it's still not dark out! 10/10, would orbit sun again

Just noticed that NF isn't far off his 32768th post. Let's hope it's a suitably eloquent and interesting contribution to mark the number.
