This Week:

In MUST204, we did a group collections management activity, where I give them a collections problem and they have to solve it. This sets everyone up to start their individual projects that will round out the semester
I watched Synchronic, another great weird movie by the mighty Benson and Moorhead. This one doesn’t hit quite the heights of Spring or Resolution, but it’s still a wonderfully strange film about drugs, time, love and mortality.
My wife and I watched Tower Heist, a fairly ludicrous artifact of post-2008 pop culture. It’s kind of a dumb, bland version of Ocean’s 11, but with a cast of really great actors who seem totally uninterested in what they’re doing on-screen.
My son and I finished reading the first volume of Brian Jacques “Redwall” which we both loved.
The Yager Museum submitted paperwork formally declaring affiliation on some human remains in our possession, moving us one step closer towards repatriation.
I did a lot of cleaning up and moving things around after a burst pipe left some water dripping in one of our galleries.
I did some more porting of my old website over here, with a new and updated wishlist section.
