READIN

Jeremy's journal

Dream is not a revelation. If a dream affords the dreamer some light on himself, it is not the person with closed eyes who makes the discovery but the person with open eyes lucid enough to fit thoughts together. Dream -- a scintillating mirage surrounded by shadows -- is essentially poetry.

— Michel Leiris

READIN

READIN started out as a place for me to keep track of what I am reading, and to learn (slowly, slowly) how to design a web site.

There has been some mission drift here and there, but in general that's still what it is. Some of the main things I write about here are reading books, listening to (and playing) music, and watching the movies. Also I write about the work I do with my hands and with my head; and of course about bringing up Sylvia.

The site is a bit of a work in progress. New features will come on-line now and then; and you will occasionally get error messages in place of the blog, for the forseeable future. Cut me some slack, I'm just doing it for fun! And if you see an error message you think I should know about, please drop me a line. READIN source code is PHP and CSS, and available on request, in case you want to see how it works.

See my reading list for what I'm interested in this year.

READIN has been visited approximately 236,737 times since October, 2007.

🦋 Happy Thanksgiving

Hope everybody is having a pleasant time. For your Thanksgiving listening, Pet provides a funny monologue from Benny Rubin, and Heebie-Geebie provides a funny monologue from Arlo Guthrie.
We're not having our Thanksgiving till tomorrow, to make it easier for Ellen's family to get out here from Long Island; today is going to be dedicated to making pie and watching movies. We're going into town to catch the matinée of Bolt, and then tonight after Sylvia goes to sleep Ellen and I are going to watch O Lucky Man! (Coincidental trivia: Malcolm McDowell is one of the voices in Bolt. Last night we watched the documentary O Lucky Malcolm! which is included on disc 2 of O Lucky Man! -- it was really nice listening to him talking about his career, and weird to realize I haven't watched any of his movies since Cat People.)
